Project "Baller"

[meminto]

heheh the puppy is huge, but he still thinks he is a pup even tho he is seven.... he is very obedient too lol on command he will sit, lie down, follow, wait, shakes both paws and I taught him how to give a hi 5 (although my wife taught him the majority of skills he now has lol) ...

The walbro pump itself is only for the feed into the surge tank (not pictured as it hasnt arrived yet), the pumps you see there are both bosch 044 externals...

The calculated numbers are, well, fairly substantial... but this build is not just about the power factor, there were a number of required outcomes as part of the project scope..

[bentvalves]

Love seeing people spend substantial amounts of time and money on an older engine, and following through with dreams making them a reality.

whats the estimated paper figure man, spill the beans already??!

[meminto]

When I researched the goal vs requirement, I looked at a number of different combinations and the cost for each with there pros and cons..

This build hasn't cost the earth so to speak, as one example, I worked out the cost of converting to a 2.3lt stroked SR20, this build has cost approx 1/2 of that and on paper will net more crank hp (torque is a different story)...

I am uncertain if I want to divulge the calculated power output as it will undoubtedly vary when its done and dusted, but my goal was not just for power alone...

No one would believe me if I spill the beans...

if what i'm seeing in those pictures is correct. it looks like 2 walbro pumps will be suppling the fuel.

this build looks sick, what are you aiming for numbers?

im guessing the same thing...and maybe a secondary tank up above to the pumps need not worry of not catching fuel...

damn...those fittings...i needs em

[meminto]

People are being persistent to find out more and more information, oh well I guess it is pretty close to being assembled and tuned, so may as well spill some more beans..

The on paper calculated output of this build is approx 725 crank hp @ 28psi of compressor flow.. (Based on calculations with CA valves, not the RB)

Either way, the dyno and strip times will be a better indication..

This motor has been engineered to overcome certain obstacles, if you catch my drift...

[meminto]

One intank walbro pump to pump fuel to the surge tank, the pumps in the picture are Bosch 044 externals...

I have a pic of the pilot setup of the boot for the fuel system, but I havent uploaded it..

[ca18detgabby]

very cool.

my mutt is almost as big and he isnt done growing .

then again my step dad just got a purebreed blue dobie and that thing is freakin monster

[meminto]

Fuel pics, this will probably change but you get an idea...

[r34 gtr]

Your car is going to be ridiculous.

[hotgemini]

Got a shot of the crank scraper?

[meminto]

Not as yet, its still sitting with my other parts..

[hotgemini]

I'd love a photo when you get a chance, I'm just finishing the windage tray for my CA, then I've got to work on the pick-up, baffles and trapdoors, then I'll knock up a scraper. Just made a custom sump and so I'm a little paranoid as I'd rather not detonate a motor because of oil control problems.

I don't expect to have any issues making the scraper but its still nice to see someone elses work first regardless.

[meminto]

I wont be taking a photo of the scraper on its own as such, rather with the assembled block...

I am curious, how does oil control problems relate to detonation?

Or

Do you mean you would rather not run the risk of destroying a motor due to oil control problems...

[hotgemini]

Yes, sorry, detonation in the sense of pieces of conrod littering the road, not in the sense of pre-ignition.

[meminto]

No dramas...

[ca18detgabby]

looks amazing. superb welds too.

hey hotgem

the scrapper matt will use was my first incarnation... there is a finished pic of mine plus some of my sump mods here http://www.nissansilvia.com/fo...34686

[bentvalves]

dead link niscort, would love to see what you've got going however.

[r34 gtr]

Greg, what did you end up replacing that s15 turbo with?

More updates meminto, you're killing me with the suspense.

[bentvalves]

ye replaced thou turbo witth 2871R, 63 AR hotsidius, 53mm inducer variety, of the 3" inlet heritage.

I hope Im able to blow my **** up with this one this time around.

how strong are nissan headgaskets with not small turbos ?

[r34 gtr]

I would have gone with the 2876, but whatev. Blow it up and post pictures.

[niscort]

dead link niscort,

think the site crashed overnight.. link seems to be fine now

[AFSil80]

Which valvesprings and lifters are you using?

I'd like to run a dual-spring set up, but I must be looking in the wrong places.

[meminto]

Not sure if that question is for Niscort, I am using RB25springs and solid lifters..

[meminto]

Achieved a little more today before the threat of rain...

All fuel lines and the start of the fittings...

Red = pressurized fuel line to motor..Blue = non pressurized return line to tank..



I still have to mount it all properly, but rain delay

I was able to mount my tft touchscreen yesterday arvo..



Cheers

[Nali]

WTF....this is exactly what i want to do to my car.......curious.

Please keep us updated.

[hotgemini]

I can't quite follow whats happening with the fuel lines there. It looks like you're intending to run two lines for the entire length of the car, then Y-piece them together into a single line and then split those two lines via the T-piece back into two lines, is that right?

Wouldn't an alternative have been to join them into one line in the boot and only have to fit up one single (larger) line under the car? or am I missing something? Fitting hardlines neatly is a **** of a job after all.

[meminto]

Hi, yep that is what I am doing...

I considered alternatives, this is the way I want to run the lines...

[meminto]

Took some shots of the manifold/injector setup today, another 1.5 weeks to go unfortunatley, still waiting for the cams to arrive..











Enjoy...

[r34 gtr]

Hot! I like how you've hidden the fuel rail on the underside of the manifold. This setup is going to be cleeeeaaannnn!
