nis720 Posted July 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 I was fighting some heat issues with the intake temp climbing very quickly. Once I get the head done and install the turbo cam I have with solid lifters I should be able to get more rpm's out of it and more hp. So on a conservative tune this is where I'm at. 4 Quote Link to comment

SR20DETdatsun510 Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 What do you guys think it will make? Buck and a half???? JK I'm guessing 260 at the wheels. Looks like your closest on the Conservative tune... :thumbup: My guess at 15psi is 280ish... And yes, Nice seas! I bet it is more like this after the upgrades. B) 1 Quote Link to comment

Thanks Looks like your closest on the Conservative tune... :thumbup: I bet it is more like this after the upgrades. B) With the setup I have my tuner figuered I should be on the 300+ range. Motor is 4 years old and the whole time it ran untuned, so a lot of pinging when I would get on it. Tuner could not believe how mush timing it had in some areas. new head, cam and solid lifter conversion should yeild more RPM range and better numbers. How much PSI? This was on 14psi. Sadly with all the upgrades (tune, better flowing header, Z32 trans and 8.8 rear end) my weaklest link once again is the motor. Took for a few spins today and blew the motor. Time for a rebuild. I think this would explain the numbers not being where we expected them. 1 Quote Link to comment

Yeah.... think I blew a ringland... gushing oil out of the lower crankcase vent. Fun while it lasted, 4 years of abuse untuned. Hopefully my truck will be out of there soon to make room for other projects. I had just finished the trans cover too. 2 Quote Link to comment
heretic Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 :( bummer man sorry to hear about the motor.

nis720 Posted July 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 :( bummer man sorry to hear about the motor. Are you planning to stay with the SOHC & upgrading the internals.? I will stick with the SOHC but it will have a fully built head with the turbo cam I've had since forever. Most likely it will need pistons. :crying: It will have to sit for a bit now since I spent alot of $$$ on building the header. I also have to work on mrbigtankers truck. Yea I would say not as fucked as you,your batting what 2 out of 3 with your engine builder? Or is it 3 out of 4 I cant remember now. Ouch..... Where's the love??? Well the last one I bought from you ASSHAT!!! And I did spin a bearing one one. So you win. Everybody sucks but you... Both of you have had your runs..... mrbig has had more shit go wrong than both of us combined. 1 Quote Link to comment

nis720 Posted February 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 I was under the impression that all truck blocks were made in Mexico. But this particular one is Japan built (truck block). I was told this was out of a 96 hardbody and it's OBDII. Main difference between the OBDI and OBDII seems to be the timing cover (so I've been told). Anyone have any input on this? I test fitted some parts off my truck and the oil pump and distributer seem to line up fine. 2 Quote Link to comment
nis720 Posted February 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 Digging up all the parts I have laying around to finally get it all installed.Spare polished intake... converting to AN line all around.Skullworks Oil block for filter relocation. This is the original prototype piece.Test fitting for clearance. 4 Quote Link to comment
