The RB is in! (pic intensive)

[Booztd 3]

Guys

I got RIGHT to work after getting the car back from the cage builders this weekend. The main goal was to have the motor set in the car by sunday evening, so we could get parts ordered up for the motor mounts and hopefully have it mounted in place by wednesday.

We left off here, tearing the motor down





More removal









Head removed



Pouring all the gunk out of it



Extra parts/trannies



Where the magic happens



Everything dissasembled



Head going in the parts washer



Strainer cleaned and Oil Pan installed



Oil restrictor pressed in



Headstuds installed





Tomei 5 Layer MLS





Head cleaned off









Water galley in place, tomei gaskets on



TB's cleaned and in place





New Front Main seal installed, as well as cam seals. (NOTE - These are identical to the 300ZX cam seals)



Cam gears and valve covers on, intake mani on





Clutch going on





And now this is where the magic starts to happen!





The Pan is currently resting on the cross member. We will be modifying that wednesday as well. The transmission is bolted in to place



And here we have it.....





Also notice I had a custom piece made where the battery used to sit. The final piece will be in stainless and I'll be mounting my AEM EMS on top and hiding a few things behind it

My full-race manifold shipped out today so I will have that by the weekend to make sure it fits and/or if it needs revisions. I cant wait!

that is sick. i wanted to do this swap eventually as well...this just makes me want to do it even more. if only i had the money .

[USsil80]

love the project... any upgrades inside the motor.. full race mani- going to be running there gt42 turbo ... nice work

[Gold Digger]

West Peroia, damn. You aren't to far from my home town. Galesburg.

And you are putting that into a Fairlady? NICE.

Be sure to let me know your contact info. If I get home this summer, I'll make a trip down there to check the car out. Also might plan a meet up that way as well.

Looks good man,-Neal

Good work, please tell me you got the head resurfed and the block decked while you had it out?

[MOB240]

how much does it usually cost to get the head resurfaced and decked?

[Booztd 3]

Good work, please tell me you got the head resurfed and the block decked while you had it out?

I dont plan on pushing this setup hard at all right now. My main goal is to get the motor in the car and running/driving. Once I am satisified with the way it works, I'm going to pull the motor back out, do a clean-up of all the wires, and then finish painting my engine bay. I purposely waited to paint the bay because we'll be welding some plates in for the custom motor mounts and I want this setup to look pretty clean.

I know it sounds like a little bit of extra work but I dont want to be fighing the AEM EMS with a brand new motor.....

[Chaos the Xile]

I'm sure we all want to see step by step of this til completion! GREAT WORK

[HxC_Nismo]

Probably another month or so. I Still have to fabricate the radiator setup, the intercooler setup, exhaust, IC piping, etc. Still lots of work to do!

Getting close though

[Carl H]

looks good but did you relube the head after washing it, it looks a bit dry...

[rbsileighty]

What crossmember/mounts did you use? Nice seeing another Z32 with an RB! Just saw the vid of one the other day... cool combo

I second carl's concern... was thinking the same thing as I went through the pics

[jEzTeR]

SICK!

[bt2s14]

Awesome work you are doing here looking forward to seeing more.

[Booztd 3]

Yes, we removed all the cam caps and put assembly lube on each of the journals and the lobes of the cams....

[002-M-P]

Looks great man. Those engine bays are so short, have fun with the radiator setup.

What turbo are you putting on that full-race manifold?

Got a big box of **** today, pretty exciting to move forward with the swap

XS Power 3-Row FMIC

24x12x4

For 150 shipped on ebay I couldnt beat this. I talked to alot of supra guys running this IC and they're makign 800-900hp with this FMIC. I figured its kind of hard to screw up an IC so I'd give this one a shot







Next up we have engine goodies!!!

Pauter Rods





CP Pistons





Titan Motorsports 1000cc Injectors

I took a gamble on these too, but Titan sells these injectors with all of their 1000hp fuel systems, so I figured they must be decent



Thats all for now, peace!

[USsil80]

i hate you.... envy is a *****.. very nice... the earlyer pics show the motor in... but now pics of the awsome pauter rods and nice pistons... you pulling it to build the bottom end... again i hate you.. nice build

[002-M-P]

Getting boxes of parts is fun. Next week will be a Power FC and T04Z for me

Let me know how that intercooler works out for you. I have a stock GTR intercooler, but it is banged up like crazy and was contemplating that intercooler or a $450 PWR one.

[kjlindgr]

You can't get 1000whp on a Supra with 1000cc injectors.

[Carl H]

yare rule of thumb is 1cc per 1hp on an i6 but thats assuming 100% duty, which is a bad idea...those should take you to 800 safely before they poop out.

[rotorimp]

Looks like you have a nice shop to work in--quite a variaty of other cars too--Ford gt, Vw Bug. Keep the updates coming!

[pirate87]

nice, btw what transmission set-up are you using?

Andy,

Hey man, I sent you an e-mail a couple days ago. Did you get it? Might want to check your junk mail, could have went there.
