Define "missing". My definition of missing would mean that the rods were not bolted to the crank at all, which would have resulted in zero oil pressure and internal carnage.

Stop idling give it some stick!

I see your issue its in your specs however you do have enough pressure for a street engine, 10 PSI per 1000 is right however your idle pressure should be a little higher, on the RPM side your OK. Whe

I think people are worried you haven't tuned it properly, as popping usually means lean at wot. Running high boost without a decent tune is crazy obviously. Has it been tuned properly at that boost?

Street racing is looked down upon over here, as we have been brainwashed into thinking babies are killed every time we go 1km over the speed limit.

Yes, we must act our age (40-50), we dont race, we dont line up anyone, both myself and Scotty have lawn bowls hats in the back of our cars and drive super slowly in totaly stock 1.3L push rod Corollas.

We only believe in E85 because we are trying to save the planet. :yes:

Thats funny :D:D:lol::lol::lol:

Man I wont street race no more. Or let you know at least.;) It was popping ant no boost. It has to start moving first aye lol. But it so so great now. I tuned it yesterday at around 12psi. Ill break it in at that pulling 7600 rpms. Sorry but I cant run E85 over here but I do my part on helping out the environment. Like recycle cans and so forth. B)

As for the car the cams seem to work solid. It goes like crazy. Makes me want bigger cams. I was just concerned about my oil pressure. We have no winter over here so I might up the oil to a straight 40 weight full synthetic.

Well got news. I just crashed my gts4 its dead. :(

But the motor is fine so I just ordered a r32 gtr from japan. Just want to say thanks for all the help guys. I wasnt street racing. I got cut off by a ford f150 truck doing a illegal U turn. I guess it happens.

Yes. The oil pan got damaged thats about it. The guy was drinking at a local bar and tried to make a left u turn and took up the whole road. So my natural reaction was to swerve and I lost it went over the the bumps that separates the two lanes and couldn't steer no more and hit another car. The insurance is taking care of it all. And the guy in the truck took off. More than 8 people witnessed the event. Im so disappointed because I spent so much time on this car. I hope when my r32 gtr reach that it might make me feel better... thanks agian for all the help guys really. I have always used this site to learn and be a better skyline technician. R.I.P GTS4.

Thanks guys. After being down for many days I found another car. The car had the engine tear down and never put back together for ten years. It was stored away in a store room for ten years and never touched. Its a r32 gtr so ill just buy a new oil pan and install it. Then ill install the engine. I have a few questions.

1. Is the stock intercooler better than most ebay units like what I used on my gts4?

2. Whats the widest rims can fit a r32 gtr.

3. Any suggestions on the car as it will still be for drag racing.

Stock intercooler is good for over 400Kw

We just bought some 18 X 10.5 +15 and have rolled the guards, ive heard of some people going 11, not sure about how well they would fit without rubbing.

If your drag racing keep the stock wheels and get some M/T Et street rubber on them, if you like aftermarket wheels put something else on for daily street use and throw the M/T on for strip use.

Oil pan is not damaged to bad and ill take photos of it tomorrow. The fins are bent, and im wondering if race fab could repair it. ??

Probably someone local to you could repair it.

Real shame about your GTS4

Would you mind posting up some photos of your gtr with those wheels.

As for the oil pan I was supposed to take some photos which ill do in the morning. I do really like this r32 gtr because its so clean. Its a 100 times cleaner than the gts4. I will be using the gts4 feont and rear diff on the gtr. This is because ive heard that the ratio will be better for drag racing. I really dont know how true this is. But it felt really good when I was driving it.

the M/T et streets will fit on the stock GTR rims...we used 11.5" wide slicks... i'll upload a pic of them when i get home.

      RB20DET lean on cold start

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.

      Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?

      Rb20e and RB20DET parts

      By A31Skyline · Posted

      yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.

      Unless my sensor just died, was only a couple months old, I strongly believe it didn't. How can I test it? I never mentioned it being 20:1+?

      Well, you wouldn't use 2nd hand bearings out of another engine anyway....so just buying the proper bearings is obviously what you're going to do. The crankshaft would be common. The conrods might be common. There is essentially nothing else you would be able to use.
