Hks Japan 2.8 Engine Build

[elrodeo666]

Cheers Andrew..Yeah mate its bloody good to finally see it all together, its about 3 weeks shy of 1 year since I dropped the N1 block off and the whole build began but one can really see the light at the end of the tunnel. Just got a few more things to bolt on, injectors,fuel rail, the 2 month wait hose and few little odds and ends and all done.

The plenumn needs a few mods to get it all to fit flus some pipe fabrication for intake from intercooler. Got to than Paul Dirt Garage for his input and pics as well as Ross (Giant) , thanks fellas !

I'll try get some better close up pics of the plenumn mods on the weekend but you can see the fitting we welded in for air sensor.

Clutch was normal Super Coppermix Twin plate rated at 570ps/493kw but has been fitted with Super Coppermix Twin Competition Model clutch cover and modified and now rated to 780ps/574kw so should ample to handle power output. Be interesting to see if there is ant difference in pedal feel.

Also picked up a bit of a suprise a month or so back. Brand spanking new, in the box GT500 Engine block which I'll be bringing back to oz next year!! I'll put up some pics of that puppy soon.

what a nice package.

what awkw are u aiming for out of interest?

that carbon cam cover looks stunning btw

[Beer Baron]

looks great mate. it will be a very nice package when finished. I'm sure you will love it.

[elrodeo666]

Marko..

Originally we were going for an easy 600ps around 440kw by my calculator(http://www.locost7.info/converter.php) but guys reckon we should get closer to 650ps (470 odd kw) but whatever it should be plenty.

Richard

Thanks mate. Yeah I cant wait to hear it fire up, should be soon..

Heres a few more pics..

More head shots during port and polish

Sunline Racing Carbon Cooling panel

Friend of mine makes these Carbon Grills for GTR33's

More pics to come later .......

[bozodos]

that is one sexy looking engine, awesome!

[Beer Baron]

head looks good. same as mine basically. removed squish pads on one side. gives a compromise between response (you loose a little) but you can run more timing/boost with less detonation without them. looks very nicely done.

filf!

GT500 block...Hmm.... I am so jealous!

Head work looks great.

Those pics were before polishing was even finished.

HKS do a build photo documentery for customers and will get CD of pics when all finished. I was away when head was finally done so will post up finished polish pics later.

Thanks for moving the post

filf!

cheers

GT500 block...Hmm.... I am so jealous!

Yeah that was a find and a half !!

Head work looks great.

I sent the HKS guys your build V-Cam build Matt to have a squizz at, be interesting to see what they think, reckon they will be impressed !!

Throttle Body Port & Polish

Using Standard manifolds but they were given the port/polish treatment as well. Ay time of pics not quite finished!!

[Marko R1]

my standard exhaust manifolds had the same treatment & it worked a treat!

[elrodeo666]

Proposed new position for intake pipe to plenumn

ENGINE AND GEARBOX IN......Hoobloodyray!

Cam cover is just dummy cover to prent knocks and scratches etc

Good clearance with Hi Octane sump

Well off to Nismo Festival and Nagoya for a week of debauchery !!

Everything with the engine should be finished by the time I get back and time to fire it up !! Cant wait!1

Only thing we are waiting on is some silicon hoses from Samco.

[elrodeo666]

Well as per usual while I was away at Nismo festival there were a few hiccups with a delay on hoses and couple of gremlins and the fact that 4 customers decided they wanted engine rebuilds done by xmas that has seen the car not completed yet but should be fired up Tues or Wed this week fingers crossed.

Heres some pics on work to date !!

The end is near!!

New 90mm Inlet Pipe to Plenumn and new hole position

New BOV

Hopefully in the coming week I can throw up some completed pics.

Out of interest would like to hear peoples opinion on running the HKS BOV.

The HKS guys reckon the standard GTR's leak slightly and they want to run to Atmo but going to run plumbed in so hopefully dont get defected back in oz and could not stand hearing a loud pssshhht all bloody day long.

Opinions on aftermarket Bov, + or - welcomed

[NYTSKY]

Love the build Marcus. Was good to catch up with you in J-land and thanks very much for the Yen

[Marko R1]

im not sure about hks bov's but i do know that factory gtr bov's are well and up for the task on big hp setups

where is dirtgarage (aka gtr wikipedia) when u need him?

Yeah I wanted to stick with the standard but they swear they leak and over here everyone seems to run aftermarketand to atmo.

[Marko R1]

what is atmo?

[Marko R1]

just had a brainfart, atmosphere right?

[elrodeo666]

Yep...

Trust me I understand, my brain has been in limp mode after a huge night out in Nagoya.

[Beer Baron]

I wouldn't worry about it too much. it's easy to change. rather than p1ss them off by telling them everyone in aus reckons run standard plumb backs just run whatever they recommend. if you hate it or have problems down the line it's not a big deal to change back to a standard type set-up or just buy a trust type R which work great either plumb back or vented to atmosphere. I have run both ways and never had a problem with either. my last GTR making around 330rwkw ran standard and the current one runs twin blitz ones vented to atmosphere and both set-ups work fine.
