[oh what a nissan feeling!]

That's really neat,  some short little leads.  

[Damon550]

i love that the progress on this thing is still going strong

[Taz_Rx]

Slight update....

 

[kickn5k]

Looking tidy mate. Running full sequential?

[Taz_Rx]

Yeah mate all full. Still got some tuning to do, but due a rough double of the old fuel map is running pretty good. 

.... Brand new bluesteel clutch kit that's slipping on first drive... Not so good.

[Taz_Rx]

.... And now the slipping clutch is the least of my worries.... As I've just blown the motor.

Note to self, don't go hard on an inadequate tune maybe.

[ke70dave]

bugger. 

Conrod out the block?

[Taz_Rx]

No. Still runs on 3. Guessing maybe a melted/cracked piston. Is my own stupid fault.

[LittleRedSpirit]

Sorry to hear.
 

Youll bounce back.

[kickn5k]

I have a geniune toyota set in std size with total seal gapless rings. I pulled em out of my 5k. Yours if you need em.

Thats if the bores are ok.

Lovely Simon ! 

Love those dishies.  Looks all sooo clean, you could almost put your bake beans in those dishes & have breakfast, whilst working on it !

Had the junior mechanic on the job. Head on, and he helped me do valve clearances. It's looking more like an engine again now.

Everything has been cleaned and painted again. Then once it's back in the car I'll give the alloy a polish again.

Main changes this time are;

Another half mm over (now 1mm from stock)

Full balance

New hdcb exedy - t18 200mm kit

Pulling the 315cc injectors and dropping in some 550cc, since last time it was on the dyno we maxed them at 16psi
