I need a turbo oil pan for my ongoing engine build. Paint condition does not matter as long as it is straight. Does $50 or so plus shipping sound fair? If not, shoot me a number please.

Disconnect connector and pinch the hose going to the cold start injector to see if the rich condition goes bye-bye.

I bought mine from courtesy Nissan. Plug the part number into their search box and click "go". Pallnet was working on some at one time also. I do not know if he ever brought them to market.

It is often the ECU. Use your diagnostic decision tree in the FSM. Been here, done this.

Thanks everybody. I bought a set of 86mm from Randall. I'm going to hold off on the purchase of the 86.5's and the rods until after Christmas. I appreciate all of your time!. -Stan

N42 Pistons should be dished, not flattops. Stock 86mm flats would be from 82-83 F54 NA engine..

I'd try changing your password from your PC.

zentec, what's the bore size?? Rods included? If so, which ones? Thanks, -Stan

Must be something with the image then. I'll take 'em. I am still looking for a set of 86.5's and L24 9mm rods. PM your paypal info. I'll pay shipping of course.

I am looking for a set of stock flattop pistons. I would be interested in 86 and 86.5mm pistons preferably with no rods. They can come with L28 or L24 rods if that makes things easier on the seller. Is $75 fair? I would pay more if mated to the L24 rods... No junk please. Thanks, -Stan

Randall, It looks like those pistons are not all the same part. Some skirts are longer than others. That would make it very hard to balance. I appreciate it but I will have to decline. I'm going to re-post this ad in the correct forum. Thanks, -Stan

Thanks Randall. I am definitely interested. Still interested in yours too kaito. Especially the 86.5's if you have them....

Thanks! I look forward to the pics. How do the piston skirts look? Randall, were the flattops used with a turbo or strickly NA? -Stan

Looking to buy a set of stock flattop pistons. They can come with L28 rods if that makes things easier on the seller. Is $75 fair? If not contact me with your asking price. No junk please. Thanks, -Stan

Make sure the signal wires from your CAS to your ECU are well sheilded from your plug wires. EMI can make this signal go bonkers and the ECU will act accordingly. No spark. Run the engine in darkness and look for stray sparks arcing to ground around these wires. I wrapped my little bundle in a foil like material and grounded it.

Love the build!

Looks like "n" should equal 1, 2 or 3 depending on which harmonic you are trying to match. Not 440... I get L = .347m at the first harmonic...

<P>double post, sorry.</P>

Me thinks your cfm calc may be incorrect. cfm = ( (RPM * CID) / 3456 ) * VE Using ( 7000rpm x 170ci / 3456 ) * .85ve I get 292 cfm for an NA engine. another: cfm = (RPM*Disp in L * (VE*10) ) * PressureRatio) / 5660 Using ( (7000 * 2.8 * 85) * 1) / 5660 = 294cfm used this one for Turbo The differences here are attributable to the metric to CI conversion.

Those look correct to me. The only two types I've seen are offset and flat. Offset is correct. -Stan

There's a yellow Z with 240z bumpers (so it may be a 240) on I-65 North in Montgomery. Go get before somebody steals it It's been there since Thursday afternoon I believe.

That ECU came out of an '83 turbo with low impedence injectors. I used it with no resistor pack and the 1983 harness. I wrote "1981.5" on that ECU in sharpee marker after looking the number up on Jim Wolf's website. I should have written a question mark after it because I'm not very confident in that information. Please post the part # here so we could look it up for you, but I ran that ECU on a 83 engine and harness for several years. It was installed in the 83 parts car when I got it.

Congrats on the life change. As a software developer desk jockey and former grease monkey, I can totally relate. The desk thing will drive you nuts if you can't work on something tangible in your free time. Best of luck to you!

Have you tried a different ECU? I know you had yours rebuilt, but something could still be fried. I have a one that I removed in order to swap in the z31 ECU. You are welcome to it. It's known good. If it doesn't fix your problem, I'd appreciate it back though ;P
