shanef Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 oil restrictors? i wouldnt even think about putting that engine in the car until it had a decent oil pump why hasnt the block been decked? i wouldnt trust that surface to seal 100% Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/256707-another-2630-build/#findComment-4422257 Share on other sites More sharing options...
N1GTR Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 -Sell the cams, get something more suited -Agreed with Shane -What manifold will you use? ebay or something like a 6 boost? (I used ebay and it was fine, BTW a 44mm gate and to4z sounds awesome when its loaded up) -Make sure the thrust on the crank is ok and that the crank is usable, there's SO many stuffed ones out there What car is it going into?

Not sure why it hasnt been decked, but am going to get it done, i bought the block already built. yeah will def have restrictors what sort of cams would you suggest? nah wouldnt bother putting it in just to pull it out to change oil pump, will be done before it goes in. will be using a 6Boost manifold what do you mean by making sure the thrust on the crank is ok?

shanef Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 to deck the block you will need to disassemble it Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/256707-another-2630-build/#findComment-4422962 Share on other sites More sharing options...

N1GTR Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 270's or 272s' with 10.25mm lift would be a good start - or even 280's. Get as much lift as you can. Dont forget springs aswel Yes the thrust on the crank, it will be in a lot of trouble if you have a clutch with a big clamping pressure so get a clutch that matches what you want and isnt a heap of overkill Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/256707-another-2630-build/#findComment-4423919 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it wasn't caught when it was, would have been up for a new block aswell Edited February 13, 2009 by bubba Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/256707-another-2630-build/#findComment-4423988 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jangles Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 will have to make sure i get that checked out then. im going to use my OS twin plate behind it,mainly because i already have it. why do you suggest such large cams? do you think the 264 wont be enough?

=premo= Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Tomei oil pump is a must have for big power engines. (not that I can afford one, its just a suggestion) You should probably start getting all the fittings and small stuff now because it can all stack up to big $$$ and you dont want to be buying crap hoses or belts because you already spent all your cash on the bigger expensive bits. (Redline oil, bigger sump, high flow braided oil/water lines and fittings, second belt tensioner, quality silicon joiners and hose clamps, high tensile bolts for clutch, locking nuts for turbo, good turbo gaskets, high flow intake setup, breather system and catch can, etc). Another thing you want to keep in mind is engine bay space, my RB30/26 with high mount T04z hits the cam cover on the strut brace and the turbo has 2mm to move before it hits the strut tower. This is in a R32 gts-t. If you want 400rwkw's and you want it to last you have to be willing to spend some money.
