I am sorry if you took it that way. That was not my intent at all....and I was just wondering. I do not build engines, so I don't see how this is competition in any way....They have a single turbo kit, and so do I...they are very different, and the customer can decide what best suites their needs/applications. I have also never had any issues with them, so there is no reason for me to try and "dig" for something that isn't there. I wish you all the best with your build.

Again, I am sorry, but that was not my intent at all.

It's all good, and hey allow me to apologize misinterpreting your comment. Maybe one day they will legalize marijuana in FL and I will chillax all of the time...

I'm having Boost withdrawals. My built motor should ship in a few days btw.

COSMO · 02-21-2014, 09:02 AM

Just a few pics of the motor and internals going in the cryo machine.

Chuck33079 · 02-21-2014, 09:04 AM

So is the motor the last thing you're waiting on?

COSMO · 02-21-2014, 09:18 AM

Yeah all of the parts are there so after the cryo treatment they then will begin the build since the bore has already been done. Keep your fingers crossed I won't have any issues because this will be my last build.

Chuck33079 · 02-21-2014, 09:19 AM

I'm pulling for you.

The break in miles are going to suck. Do you have a new base map for the new fuel system so you can get it back on the road and broken in?

COSMO · 02-21-2014, 09:22 AM

The only thing I have is the base gtm base for now. When the motor is finished they will ship it to me then I will install the turbo kit and transport it down there for a tune.

So you're goint to transport it out, get the base map and go back later for the full boost tune? Or are you just going to have them do an abbreviated break in on the dyno?

COSMO · 02-21-2014, 11:12 AM

I'm going to haul it down there myself because I just don't trust these transport companies and then have them just do a break in on the dyno... I will start the car here and allow it to run for about 30 min and then do a oil change. Yes I'm going to use non-synthetic oil for the break-in.

COSMO · 02-21-2014, 11:17 AM

A few more pics..

Just make sure to follow the engine builders break-in procedure and use the oil they tell you to use. The oil they tell you to use will depend on those clearances on the journals, and of course the builder will know them. I would suspect it would be a heavier weight oil like 5W40 because the engines built for higher power should be "looser".

I use 0W40 M1 synthetic on my own stock block 350Z because it has shown to greatly reduce bearing ware (Blackstone oil analysis results)

There are also oils designed for engine break-ins....something to ask about unless it has already been brought up.

COSMO · 02-21-2014, 11:23 AM

Right on, yeah bobby told me just to use the Nissan oil and then later on I can switch to motul..
