Lockjaw

They are all polished, the one's ordered anyway. I believe the top one is lubed via the chain, oil will creep up and down the chain, and it has a bearing of some sort in there. The tension seems to be something you can adjust, when Yo2001 translates the manual for me, then I will know more. I am not sure why they don't send them here, perhaps the language barrier is one hurdle, not to mention it wasn't exactly cheap to get it here. Not that I am complaining, but like I said, you can get a BHJ balancer cheaper. I am telling you, it is one sweet looking piece. I really do hate the thought of putting something that nice in there. Kind of like my Ross forged pistons when they came in. I cannot wait to get it in there, with the BHJ balancer, and a fresh head, and see what it does. Its not like I expect major HP gains, but, it should go along way towards making things more accurate timing wise. Maybe reduce some friction? I think so.

Well I hate to ask this, but why would I need to contact anyone, I have the part? HAHA Actually the idea did occur to me, but in the spirit of being ethical and honest, I felt like copying someone elses design, and then selling it while they don't benefit wouldn't be fitting. So its going in my engine. I guess when you have an idea or something and someone steals it and the glory for it from you, and they benefit, then you see why.

I don't have any way to host the pic's, sorry, but it is sweet looking. As for purchasing, the supplier has not told me it was ok to reveal who, and I am going to respect his annonimity. Lets just say its not the easiest part to come up with unless you have someone that has a relationship with them, they don't like shipping to the USA. Its so pretty, I almost hate to install it and get it dirty.

Kameari twin idler set-up, and it is better then the pictures portray. Now its time to seriously rip some stuff apart, and get Yo2001 over here to translate the instructions. HAHA

I ran an H3, and I liked it, but the E wheels are more efficient, and would be a better choice. The H3 is old technology. Also I found the H did not run well until I was making 12+ psi, the 60 trim I have now runs a lot better with lower boost, and really comes alive as the boost gets up there. Also, don't buy one from turbonetics, you can always flame James friend if he does you wrong, and make an impact, not so with turbonetics.

Any machine shop should be able to fix that for you.

Standard issue t3/t4e hybrid will work. Go with a stage 3 turbine in a .63 AR housing, run a 50 or 60 trim TO4E compressor wheel in a 50 or 60 AR compressor housing. 50 AR compressor housing may fit better. If you want to get froggy, you can use a 60-1 compressor wheel, and upgrade to a Stage 5 turbine, use the same housings. The stage 3 will spool well, the stage 5 will be a little slower, but smoother in response.

Where this is a will there is a way.

Yeah I will get you their number. If you bush them for floaters, you need to do that after you shot peen them, its easier for them. I have 240 rods in my engine, prepped per the How to hot rod you nissan book, bushed, polished, shotpeened, 2 oil holes drilled, and ARP rod bolts. They are supposed to be good to 600 hp, and they looked really nice when I got them peened. Just don't be in a big hurry, they do good work, it takes time, and its not exactly cheap, but it wasn't bad if I recall. I think I had 400 bucks in mine, and I polished them myself. Everyone liked my polish job. The guy who did the majority of my machine work said the rods were good to 5 to 10 psi as prepped.

Mine is mounted solidly. Of course I am using the Spearco 221 which has the mounting holes built up and into the end tanks. I don't want my cooler flopping in the breeze.

One link is not .080 is it? My buddy ran one unshimmed with a head cut .110, and it ran strong, so you can do anything..... Just not sure how smart it is. of course, I am going to use a kameari idler kit, so the heck with all that mess. HAHA

I had mine done at hesco in town, you can send them yours if you change your mind and decide to spend you money on something else. I don't think it was to pricey, and they looked good too.

Why don't you ask what you should upgrade to, its only a matter of time before you need a new turbo.

Dimensions would be nice, but I would say Porsche probably has a pretty good intercooler. Whats the money figure for it?

HKS is 150 from Courtesy Nissan.

So what is the price on that Microtec ? I could not get the pricing thing to work. Also when do they expect a bolt on deal for the nissan L6, I might be interested.

What the heck is a microtech? Is it the same as a haltech? Someone give me a link or something. Man I am so behind the 8 ball, all I want is one of those one off idler pulley things.

I got it now, check your in-box.

I got a pm from someone. Bad news from Japan, they ain't shipping that part here, BUT...., got an inside track.

Well its been kinda frustrating, sort of like I was trying to buy drugs or something.

As a devoted NA guy (turbos are for lazy engine builders ) I would love to see that come true. Lets see you bust 129mph in the quarter like some lazy engine builder. I want one of those idler pulley things, someone figure out how to order one, and I will order it.

Well I will buy one and scope it out, if someone will just tell me how to order it with a credit card. Bling bling or not, that mutha is going to look good with my BHJ balancer on there. Come on, have cash, will buy, just need to know where and how.

I already got forged pistons.

The rings from advance are sealed power and are nice rings. There is nothing wrong with stock ones if you can still get them. Also a good set, from what I have heard is the Hastings XC. The main thing you need to stay away from if you want a lot of boost is cast iron ones. They seat the best, but are brittle. I would use stock or sealed power rings.

I have talked to JT, and the car made some wicked power, there is no doubt about it, but here is the LJ bottom line. No matter how much it makes, it doesn't do you much good if it won't do it RELIABLY. You want that kind of power, you need 550cc injectors, or you are asking for blown engines. One other thing that big number won't tell you, how was it to drive. Stock injection sucks, just go try a Z31 or JWT and you won't believe the difference. A properly tuned stand alone is even better. If you cannot buy what you need to thrash it, wait until you can. I have hammered on my engine for 6 years, and have gone thru turbo's, and now a headgasket, but as far as I know, everything else is good.
