GOD SO OVER THE DO THIS DO THAT AND THE CONSTANT DISAGREEMENT OVER RB30DET BETWEEN WORK SHOPS. Look i have fitted the nitto pump to this thing and fitted the collar now i have gone to fit the timing gear and found it pretrudes more because of the collar than the rb20 one next to it. secondly what is the safest revs that a fully ballanced stock ballancer can rev to that has been ballanced with the crank and flywheel.??? please no answers seem to come up about this use the hot word search????

yeah all the machining got done like it's meant to be but it's only sticking out like 2 to 3 mm if that would possibly sit inside of the timing gear grove but it's fully on no doubt about that i double checked it twice, and it's already in the engine torqued down with oil pump on and adapter plate on don't really want to go ripping all that off will upload pics asap. have done alot of research on this came up with nothing and all the others have been flush so like wtf?? did nitto make it too long i wonder???

FRIGGIN MACHINIST IS SHIT. Didn't grub screw it and didn't slide the collar on properly and now is coming off. f**k SAKE taking it back going to have a fit now that i have lost all those gaskets and tell them i want it redone as it wasn't done properly in the first place and f**king grub screwed this time and i'm not f**king paying for it!

Is the stock balancer brand new? I wouldn't be running a second hand one.. and I agree with 7k max.

As for the collar issue, that is the reason I searched around for a quality machinist that would weld the snout up and machine back to suit the gears, some people don't like that idea but it works for us.

How is it coming off? I could imagine he might not have machined the old pump drive back enough and it protrudes more than it should but unless your balancer is loose it shouldn't slide off.

The collar shouldnt be loose even without grubscrews. It is supposed to have a 0.002" - 0.003" interference fit. Collar is heated up and then tapped on with a drift soft enough not to damage it and then let it shrink on. Once done then you drill, tap and grubscrew it as a secondary lock.

The collar should butt hard upto the front face of the main journal and stop just before the recessed groove that leads to the snout with key way slots.

If your collar is loose, then either the crankshaft grinder stuffed up or the machine shop specified the wrong size when they mic'd up the ID of the collar.

balancer is original one and no the balancer isn't coming off the collar is i checked it when i put it on it was flush now it's not!

as below will highly indicate. living on the sunshine coast there is NO trustworthy machinists around here let alone most mechanics.

where abouts are u in oz ?

sunshine coast

agreed with the rest, no way a collar should move that easily once fitted. if you can find a decent shop welding the crank and machining it back is the best option

I don't think it's sliding off, looking at the photo's i think the radius on the crank is too big and the chamfer on the collar too small. I think they pressed it on and it wedged against the bottom of the raduis not letting it butt up against the shoulder where it should be.

IF they could get that collar off in good condition it could be modififed and refitted properly with grubscrews.

I think welding should be avoided because it puts stress into the metal and it will most likely require straightening of the balancer section of the crank.

yeah well instead of machining it to .002" or .003" he machined it to .008" to prevent having to use the grub screws and reckons it won't move, you can get it off but it will be a pain and what ever damages are caused this f**ker is paying for it period. never going to use sunshine coast machinists again. i agree with the don't weld it part seen it f**k up cranks before on 1hz and 1hdt landcruiser engines which i what i work on but this is un acceptable.

      If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s.

      Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.

      Unfortunately, not only is that not the case, one of the main "Selling points" of safety over comms is they clearly state in writing that there's no need to segregate safety networks from non-safety networks. It always gets intermingled with everything else on an ICS/OT network.

      SR20 to cefiro

      By KKaplumbaa · Posted

      Hello. I have an a31 cefiro but since I am in Turkey we have a CA20S engine. I did some research. Then I found that I can swap with a ca18 but when I heard that it has the similar substructure as the s13. I thought I can swap with an sr20 because the sr20 was used with the s13. So can I easily swap the sr20 on my cefiro or is it difficult?
