hey all

looking like the best way around my problems is going to be to just replace the motor,

here some pics for you all from my engine !

Try the guy wrecking a series 2 manual in the stagea for sale section

thought the engines are the same, just the sump is modded for the front diff, just like the rb26, you just replace the sump and its just a normal engine, i didnt know there was a awd block, just thought there was a awd sump

yeah or you can get factory oversized pistons

on the others it should have a 1 or a 2 stamped into the top of the piston

that will be the size that that bore was honed to at the factory

dunno if you have to go bigger if you hone tho

if i hone back the engine... ill have to go bigger pistons correct?

is there anyway i can use a 2nd hand piston??

No

Only go bigger pistons if you "bore" (machine) the block from 86mm to either 86.5mm or 87mm max

Hone is just sort of like sanding it, so you will keep the same size piston, but usually fit new rings.

You could use a second hand piston. It will have to be from a "neo" engine as they are different to R33's etc.

With the mess you have in that cyinder, I would b3 stripping the entire block to flash out any foriegn metal particals etc.

Otherwise you will get it all back togather and have problems later.

With the amount of problems you are YET to face and lack of experience, I would suggest finding a complete long motor and move on.

ive kinda sources a 26 and box but i would also like to get this back on the go aswell.

i wont be doing any engine work as such, just re assembling it

i will take this engine out. get it honed back where needed.. drop a 2nd hand piston and new rings in and hope for the best

is it true the rings are 300 a set?

    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later. 
    • Silly question, as I bet you've checked already, but the motor turns over by hand yes? I suspect Neil has a spare starter, though if not, I believe I have a spare R33 (or two) starter.
    • Yeah just run one of those posts to the Link like GTSBoy said. From google it looks like a "mishimoto boost controller" is a manual boost controller. Since you already have the link just buy any MAC valve and plumb it in where the mishimoto is now. Wires to the solenoid should come from the Link's / standard loom boost control wiring (I guess you have an r32, not sure if it is gtst or gtr, if it is GTR where is a 2 pin connector near the engine bay fuse box/injector resistor for that purpose, assuming the standard boost controller is gone)  
    • No. The ECU's hose is for a connetcion between the plenum (assuming single throttle body, not ITBs) and the ECU's internal MAP sensor. This is the primary load measurement of the ECU - so you need to get this one right. This has NOTHING to do with the boost contol. The wastegate also needs to see a boost signal - but it is actually far better for it NOT TO COME FROM THE PLENUM (again, assuming single TB, and not ITBs). This should come from the turbo's compressor housing (assuming there is a nipple on there, which there might well not be), or on the boost pipe somewhere between the turbo and the TB. On the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler is usually most convenient. The boost controller is then located between that boost source and the wastegate, ACCORDING TO THE CORRECT PLUMBING DRAWING FOR THAT BOOST CONTROLLER. There is no general diagram or instruction that will be correct for every case. Then the other ports on the plenum are for purposes such as Duncan described. If the boost controller has an internal MAP sensor, for a boost display, etc, then it will want to be hooked up there, alongside the ECU and the FPR.
