Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

Stupid comment of the day goes to... Matt!

You don't need big horsepower. Learn to f**king steer. McFly has 260rwkw, Z32 mike had just shy of 300 rwkw, Cadmoon has 180rwkw, Benno's S13 was running a stock RB20 with factory gear and they would all run after up Nebo, glorious or around LP faster than you.

Coilovers, sway bars, strut brace, decent tyres and learn how to use a clutch and steering wheel properly.

I don't want to hear any one else encouraging p platers to mod their cars in an illegal fashion. Yes, a 30 in a 33 is illegal. The motor wasn't an option and hence would require a blue plate.

Time and time again, the guys who've done it have said that it's not a great idea and have outlined the reasons why. If this doesn't suffice, contact someone else via pm. Colin had a pretty decent 32 and his advice is valid. If you want to play with the big boys, listen to the advice try give. If not, you will be a statistic and create more grief for the community as a whole.

This is a public forum and if you guys don't sort out your act, this page will be closed.

Im not trying nor will be doing anything illegal, I was putting together ideas and asking for a simple opinion I don't wanna cause a big uproar on the page so I'll just leave it at this and agree with you

I'm just doing a project motor. Just looking to do a solid build. Not sure on if it will be going in or not. I'm just doing research and getting ideas from past experience to see what it's like to do the motor side of it

Come time and I'm off my p's and I decide that I want to put it in and I have enough funds to afford it I might go down that ally if I want to try something new with my car

Or I could just rolling shell project it

Yes I acknowledge that me having a turbo on my p plates angers a few and other argue about it and that I shouldn't because of laws

But as I see it. I drive pretty safe I treat the car well I went about it all legal. It's not a flat capper camber hella flush crap thing I want is to look stock and I'm not modding it power wise untill off p plates to avoid a rear examination from tha police

But as I said engine will most likely be sold

The engine is for experience bad learning so I have physical not paper experience

That being said back to whoring I will keep future motor posts out of here

Yeah i dont get the uproar on this at all. The whole point of this place is for the younger guys to ask questions and learn from the people who have done it.

advice isnt gospel either and most of the time people do whatever the f**k they want anyway, i wouldnt stress that hard about it Tony.

Atleast when those questions get asked there is a bit of car talk going on in here even for the briefest of moments.

Threatening to close down the whore thread based on some chatter about a p plater wanting 400kw is a bit much.

You're right. Its good to see the odd bit of car related talk going on in here.

I also think to generalize all P Platers as certain kind of drivers isnt the way to go about it. I bet there is a lot of P platers out there and even on this forum who are "better" drivers that fully licensed people.

not even for p's just gathering ideas so I can do some research and what not for a conversion when I'm legally allowed to convert into a turbo

    • LS is a good motor, but it hurts my soul when I see it in a RB. Guess it fixes the oiling issues lol.
    • I'm confused. Does this qualify as "Gregging" or are you somehow avoiding the Gregging?
    • More assembly going on, with all sorts of "bolt right on bro" scenarios going on here. Smartly, PTV clearance was checked. And I say smartly because it turns out that the intake was 0.009" from piston meeting valve. This is 0.23mm. This is very not okay. A fast meeting was facilitated between engine builder in Australia and engine builder in the USA which was actually incredibly helpful and constructive actually, various ideas thrown around to get around this issue including: 1) Retard the cam timing which would have brought the exhaust valve closer to meeting piston (it was 0.065") which was uncomfortably close to begin with, and change the cam profile making it 'laggier' 2) Much larger head gaskets which would reduce compression, but half the point of this was to increase compression. 3) New set of pistons ($$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$) 4) All of the above 5) Get ghetto The concept is you get sticky sandpaper and stick it back to a valve, slightly larger than the valve you/I'm using, like say from a LS3/rectangle port head. You now have a very super advanced flycutting tool to modify your pistons in your block. Then you install it in your head, and attach the other end of the head to a drill. Then you just replicate your valve smashing into a piston with your spinning drill.   This is the result. Repeat many times. It is strongly recommended you have some kind of fixed stop when doing this for extremely obvious reasons because if you press too hard then you're well into apocalyptic repercussion land. The minimum clearance on the intake valve is now 0.075" this is still in the "Too close to be really comfortable" and into "It should be fine" land. Supposedly in the real world the clearances will be slightly bigger. Guess this is what happens when people push envelopes for N/A engines instead of adding boost! Time to move onto the new, upgraded, higher ratio roller rockers from Yellaterra, all tapped and threaded with a stronger bolt for better stability. Very nice. Lets see how they fit. For f**ks sake. Time to bring the grinder out for these aftermarket, machined and CNC'd heads. Looks like the new, beefier rocker from YellaTerra has gone from Bolt on part to "Bolt on part". Well, lets see how this bolt on crank scraper and windage tray goes then, shall we? There actually is more clearance than they specify for this thing, but seeing it all move as you check it is terrifying when you see it all so very very very very nearly hit things. But after all, this is what the item is designed to do after all and actually did bolt on perfectly and have enough clearance to everything and some very clear and direct instructions. So +1 to Improved Racing I suppose. As above with the windage tray on. Photo of breaker bar wonkiness for added lols. Next up: Oil pump/front cover/water pump/sump and then it's time to actually install the heads, pushrods, head bolts, valve cover gaskets and such is all there and ready to go. (except the oil pump bolts which were previously longer for more clearance with the previously perfectly installed double row timing chain). There's definitely a sense that someone other than us has been here before and done everything perfectly, or at least considered it and came up with working solutions. Perhaps the previous cam was 6deg advanced to avoid PTV issues with the milled stock heads? In any case when I attempt to sell this stuff the buyers are going to be very directly informed.
    • my catch can is pretty easy to empty but it overflows due to the blowby/crank case pressure etc. max I have drained is ~600ml even with a ~2.3L capacity. So it is not just about having to drain it out its the mess it makes down the firewall and under the car and rear passenger tyre from the overflow oil being blasted by screamer + air in general. Ending up on the ground cleaning the oil up and having oil on your arms when everyone else can chill and watch the other sessions gets old fast
    • Yeah - the secret learned a long time ago is that the RB likes to belch oil out the covers, and/or starve the pump because it drowns the head in oil, because the upflow of crankcase gases from piston blowby comes up through the oil drain holes in the block and prevents the oil from flowing back down. The external vents from sump are about creating an alternative path/much more XS area for gas flow to decrease the gas velocity up through the oil drains and allow the oil to get back down. So, it's not about pressure at all. It is about flows - gas up and oil down - or when it's not working, gas up and oil not going where it is supposed to after it arrives at the top, except out through the cam cover vents. And regardless of whether the catch can is vented to air or vented to the turbo inlet, it must still be vented because a sealed system would blow out the crank seals, or something equally bad.
