Blown Motor, Engine Rebuild/Replacement.

MidnightBlueZ · 06-21-2014, 06:18 PM

Sweet! Looking forward to seeing the results, I bet you can't wait to be up and running again.

COSMO · 06-21-2014, 07:49 PM

I'm dying to drive my car again, especially since I can now run the max boost levels knowing the motor will hold the power... At the gulf for 4 nights so should finish it before next week is over. Thanks for the support..

I just picked up a set of nismo rims and could use a hand on spacers or no spacers..?? With my sport wheels I ran 25mm rear and 20mm front but I believe the off set is different on the nismo's..

NEVER run spacers!

Have ran spacers on everything I have ever owned and never had any issues...

Fortunate and a lot of people are in your boat. I happen to be in the group that will never consider spacers but I'm an engineer and can do the math of the impact.

ok, well maybe you should start a thread on wheel spacer safety.. lol

So what we you engine break in procedure requirements?

COSMO · 06-21-2014, 09:28 PM

Actually I'm planning on priming the fuel system and turning the motor over without actually starting it to lube the motor... Hell what do I know... lol

Start it for the first time and let it idle for about 20 min then drain the oil.. Do another oil change and do another in 500-600 miles... Of course using Nissan oil..

Hell, I do the turn over bit when I change oil and also when I installed the oil cooler. Why Nissan thinks 1500-1800 idle at start is a good idea is beyond me. Maybe we all should have a kill switch and crank them for 5- seconds before firing them. lol

I tried that too after the turbo install but there was enough residual fuel in the line it fired up anyway

Planning on taking out the plugs and disconnecting the main wiring harness going to the fuel rail.. Hopefully it will not start by doing that...

that would probably do it. you could probably just get away with pulling the coils and not actually removing spark plugs.

chuck and I thought that since we completely removed and blew down the rail, then pulled the fuel pump relay we would be good. damn thing fired up on the first crank. guess you live and learn.
