Ok boys and occasional girl... I have a few options here. I have all the parts a need for the work I wanted done. I have Gt28R turbo 750cc injectors Nismo Fuel pressure reg Twin air intake 3" dumps and 3" test pipes In short I will not have money for a while As my partner lost her job and am not the patient type. I am toying with the idea to host a tech day or weekend and rent a hoist if people would be interested in helping as I have not done this on a 300 before and do not feel confident attempting it solo. Or if someone has a hoist and garage I am willing to bring the car up And even pay you a agreed sum etc If anyone has any other ideas etc then put them up as I initially wanted this done before z feat but will now settle for before June lol
That's a lot of work for a single day, but not impossible, although; does it HAVE to be done before zedfest? (although it would be better if it was) Anti's in the same situation, a lot to do with exactly 4 weeks left
Yeah it's just I think look wise the z is done apart from maybe new rims and a paint job so I want to chase performance now and I have all the bits to join the 300rwkw club I just need helP to get the engine out and all the bits on and back in . Have given up on before z fest just ASAP mom before my birthday
Dont rush it. Plenty of work to do there and its all time consuming. Maybe possible (but unlikely) to do it in a day but your ass will be hanging out and mistakes will be made. If u are considering a Tech Day/s, do it over two weekends. Weekend 1. Day 1: Pull the engine, clean bay, relocate bits, decide where to mount FPR etc. Day 2. Replace bits on the engine as necessary, install turbos, manifolds, injectors Weekend 2. Day 1. Put engine back in, wire up etc Day 2. Tidy up, sort out gremlins, install twin intake, adjust Nistune to suit new goodies. Pretty much guarantee all the days above will be full days of work if you're taking your time. Might wanna book the tuner in advance too just in case. Good Luck!
I note the nsw people Are being rather quiet here lol and yes a stock engine can pull 300rwkw it has been covered a fair few times. A full rebuild can come later and I should apologies as I ment it for 2 weekends etc as I know one day would be insanely difficult. Still stuck on this one as I have space restrictions and don't want to go for it solo necessarily
If you do it at your house im happy to come up and lend a hand for a day. (date depending) Zedmd and i pulled an engine + manual box in 2 days with 2 of us. we both knew what was is fully invovled. expect 2 days to pull, and 2 days to put back in. If you got the car in early (like the night before). dropped the oil and water and started removing the basic stuff like radiator, front bar jack the car, you could pull it in 1 day.
Ok so I have a friends shed lined up and am chasing up a engine crane and or hoist..... Dates I am looking at will be around beginning to mid may one month after z fest. So who is interested in giving procky a hand moula is already in pending dates and commitments
if you bring it to albury and leave it here for the week i could do it as i have everthing i need here its not easy to do but it can be done. as ive done it twice now
Ok, so I thought and if I am getting the engine out and putting injectors and lifters etc in I may as well do some engine work do I am going to undertake the following, New heads cleaned Ported New bronze valve guides Forged pistons Eagle rods New piston rings Gaskets Apr bolts idler studs PoLishes cam shaft journals New valve stem seals New water pump Timing belt Under drive pulley Hicas delete I do not know what the overall outcome of this will be, I would hope a much fresher engine which can handle the new turbos , boost and power without as much stress .. So my build may be put back a month or 2 now till I source everything but it will happen ... I'll start a build thread up over the weekend. Any suggestions from anyone is welcome
