sorry to hear that man, ive still got that external wastegate setup for sale.

 

Sorry to hear that. At least you enjoyed your boosted car for quite some time. time to build that beast and get some serious numbers..

 

Haven't forgotten ya

It may not have spun a bearing, could just be a really f'd rod (or rods?). I'm not savvy enough to tear it down; I imagine it's still viable as a core for an exchange. I'll certainly let everyone know once I've crunched the numbers...

 

you are right in todds area at built z motors, i would pm him for an estimate, he would probably do the swap for you as well...

 

+1... Todd's a good guy.

 

I suggest built z motors too. I had my engine built and installed there.

 

Don thx for keeping me in the loop...

Anyhow.. That sux but at the same time you knew it was coming and now you have an excellent "reason" to spend some dough on that bad boy.

 

don't you spin a rod bearing when you're low on oil? you had low oil?

 

A spun bearing will then give you low oil pressure, but its not always because you had low oil that you spun a bearing.

Good luck on the motor situation. It would be cool to see someone build a motor with a ST setup. 500whp and even more torque would be cool to see and Im sure make for one fun car for you. Not that 450whp was not fun or anything!!!

 

damn joe, sorry to hear that man. sound like you had some great times with the stock block.

 

sux man, good luck on the build!

 

Sorry - been busy trying to pad the expense account to accomodate a new motor from BuiltZMotors - should have payment sent off this week, and in return I'll receive a neat little crate. Pics to follow when the action begins...

 

Cant wait to see it bro! I may have to come over and get my hands dirty.

 

New motor from Todd @ BuiltZMotors expected to ship out by early next week; guess I should get off my duff and prepare for the new arrival:

Pistons – Arias Extreme Duty 9:1 CR
Rods - Eagle Rods
ARP Main and ½" Head studs
New OEM overhaul gaskets
Headgaskets: HKS metal
Rear main seal
Main bearings
Rod bearings
Thrust washers
Machine block (with use of torque plates)
Balancing
Polish crank
Redeck heads and block
Rev-up oil pump
Cams - stock
Valves - stock
5 angle valve job (3 on the valve seats, 2 on the valves)
Springs - stock
Timed, with front and rear timing cover installed
Head assembly- rebuilt with new valve stem seals

With the external WG, UTEC, water/alchy injection, JWT clutch... wondering what I can max this thing out at...?

 

Your single turbo will max out before the motor does.. I say 540 Whp..

 

why dont you just return it to stock and bring it in to nissan and tell them you dont know what happened?!?!?!?!

 

You still got this? Pics? I might be interested.

 

time for twins

 

no, its sold, should be going on a built motor soon.

 

Hey Don... Can you PM me on the cost of that set up plz? I am starting to research building my motor actually... I want to see what I can get my Vortech up to... If I can keep the belt from slipping at higher boost.

I just ordered my meth / water injection kit today.

Thanks man.
