If you have to ask that question you shouldnt try and install internals yourself. I will do heads and cams but i will not put in pistons and connecting rods on. Cams you just need a feeler gauge and specs. I suggest you go buy a book called engine blueprinting a balacing.

I'm parting out and selling just about everything you want...

Anyway, good luck and enjoy the power - no matter which way you go.

Assembly of the block is no problem with the proper tools. Just check clearances and torque everything to spec.

Have a really good machine shop to balance everything though.

I fail to understand the pertinence of this post..

So what i havent installed the parts before. I am EXTREMELY handy when it comes to things like this and I have an entire garage full of tools.

I think hes just pointing out that its not for nubs.

True...having all of the proper tools and the know-how is what makes a HUGE difference...

for example, when we build a motor (bottom end), the first thing we do is check all the crank journals with a micrometer. Next, the main caps are torqued down on the block(with ARP mains and moly). The main journal housings are checked individually with a bore gauge. Then the math comes into play, easy subtraction, but with 5 decimal places!



Very often, if you simply followed Nissan's specs (crank codes and block codes) to figure out the bearings needed, the clearances would be too tight for a racing application/F/I setup (but still within spec).

We go through this process with all the rods and the rod journals as well... This adds a good 2-3 hours onto the building process, but this ensures that the clearances are large enough to accomodate the stresses that will be placed on the motor.

Just to share: recent build: Arias ED pistons, eagle rods, ARP 1/2" head studs, HKS headgaskets = very beefy combination


And, on the flip side, a stocker that couldn't hand and went kaboom:


piston exploded and bounced off the cylinder head a few hundred times:


Let us know if you have any questions about a motor build, I'll be happy to help...and we have a few shortblocks machined and assembled and ready to ship!

Ok cool I have an update.

Right now im looking at getting the Greddy TT kit off a member on here. It looks as if the parts im going to be getting with this kit is.

=======================================================

Greddy TT with FMIC which includes...

# Cast Manifolds
# External Tial Wastegates
# e-Manage
# 440cc injectors
# Intercooler with necessary piping

Im also getting an AEM wideband and a blitz blowoff valve, blitz turbo timer, braided boost lines, and an ARC oil pan.

Additionally im getting a GReddy E-01 Emanage programmer and boost controller with the turbo kit.

Now heres the thing... im not too hot on the emanage i have heard from friends with the emanage that they would not use it again if they could.. so im still planning on getting the UTEC.

What about fuel return... im still going to need to get that right?? Im thinking the AAM MaxFlow Stage II

What else do you guys see that i need to get besides the obvious guages, clutch. etc.

Thanx!

Edit: o yea i forgot to add. With the ARC oil pan, i want to get some AAM oil return lines, will these fit with the arc pan?? I mean if the stock greddy kit lines fit then i would imagine the aam ones working...

Meh instead of having someone do the install I went to sears and purchased tools. As long as you are willing to live with the added costs and down time of your mistakes its all good. Either way you will need a tune and any good shop can check your work for a few extra bucks to your Dyno time.

Nothing feels better than saying you do your own work, and if it took you 4 months well you can leave that part out..lol

O yea. i have no issues doing the wrench work myself. im super handy with tools and diy stuff so im not sweating this install.

And there you go ^^

You will also need head gaskets, go with the HKS set, along with a full gasket set from Nissan

Looks good, along with the suggetions from Zivman. If you are only shooting for 500rwhp range I would get the CJM return system instead of the AAM or APS. The Max flow stage II system is meant to be used with their return style sytem. So add another $1k if you plan on using the stage II.
