One Tomei 2.8L crank ready for balance

Was 1g out on balancer end and 0.6g out on flywheel end .... Usually a green light in most places :)

Not good enough for the master.... Finely balanced till there is 0 grams variance on both ends :P ......... This can take many hours lol

Quaife diff ...best on the market hands down.

They do read up pretty good! i have never driven a gtr with a aftermarket front diff. Cant wait! :)

Although, i did spend some time this week having a good chat to BOBBY/JEM about his build and he has definately given me some food for thought..... :blink:

1. I should avoid aftermarket front diffs as they have the potential to crack the block! (i have cracked a block in the past and it had a standard front diff) Can anybody add to this from personal experiences?

2. Cam choice... i am in fact running the same camshafts as Bobby but in opposite form i.e 260in and 270ex Tomei 10.25 lift .... i had noticed this staggered option to be quite the norm in many applications.... Obvisouly with the extensive lengths that Bobs and Skola have gone to run the opposite combo.... what would be the pros and cons of such choices?

3. Static compression and squish.... i am also aiming for a 10:1 comp ratio and had worked out the the squish would come to about 34thou.... Bobs mentioned it was imperative that it is 33thou squish otherwise the motor wont be able to run timing and detnonate........ also how much can you skim off the head and what are the downpoints of taking too much off?

To be honest, its all a bit too much to absorb :(

Hey Steve,

It was great chatting to you giving you the info, anytime mate more then happy to help.

Just wanted to clear one factor to control squish - is by decking the block or using the correct head gasket to achieve 33 thou - decking the head will not change squish.

Hey Bobs!

decking of head is more to acheive disired comp ratio..... what is your opinion on this? can you take off too much? Also can i get the details of the machinist that has the template to do the water gallery mod. Cant really find the exact details in your epic thread lol. Also what else are you doing for cooling with respect to water for your car. Are you running a water/air breather tank? Restricting water going back into the radiator at all?

:cheers:

the quench distance is measured from the face of the head where the squish pad actually is to the top of the piston at TDC, skimming the head doesnt change that distance, a thinner or thicker headgasket will change the distance between the quench pad and piston which will yield a different 'quench distance'

other things that will change the squish is machining the block face and or machining top of the piston by a few thou - i dare say that if you do decide to shave some material off the pistons it may have adverse affects on the piston if too much is taken off

Bobby can you explain how decking the head will not decrease the quench distance?

I would be interested to see how much timing and boost can be put in at 10:1 static comp.

Snozzle has answered it perfectly

Well i dont see anything wrong with running normal timing for a good engine!! you just have to get the squish right as it helps eliminate detonation and this is why you can run more timing and still have high comp.

What ever comp you are aiming for you will have to adjust your cc in the head or deck the head, this depends on how much you are decking also as there is a limit when your valve will get too close to the piston.

The machinist is Wilkins performance 9674 7037 tell him you need the head drilled to eliminate air locks. Mention my name and john skola he will remember.Yes i am running a ARC water bleeder tank you need this its very important. No not restricting water at all well im still waiting to buy a radiator as i need the motor in the car to check clearance as i will be using thermo fans.

Also the best way to measure your squish is by putting a dummy build together with a used head gasket. Place thin lead wire where the squish pads are on the piston and turn the motor once and measure the thickness. from this you can calculate if you need to deck the block or use a thinner gasket.

I hope this info helps

Wow that is a blonde moment if I ever had one, embarrassing... thanks mate :)

1mm gaskets and piston sitting above 0.0064" = 0.033" squish

minimum factory recommended valve clearance is 0.080" I've taken 0.090" off my 26 head to get to 10.75:1 and i still have 0.130" intake and 0.180" exhaust piston to valve clearance with a 10cc domed piston

I will check piston to valve clearance before i grind the head

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
