So you're telling me the bolt pattern is the same?! What about the bore spacing? Search isn't working or I'd check, but it sounds like with drilling and tapping the head can be made to fit? If the oiling and water passages line up you could always drill and tap for external oiling and cooling. hmmmmm.....

If you failed CO you're running too rich. As a general rule you can follow what I list below. CO = Too rich. Or dirty airfilter on carb'd applications. HC = Missfire or WAY too rich. NOx = Too lean or too much carbon buildup as this will raise compression and make cylinder hotter. CO2 = Trick question this is what you want!

Several quick ways to pass smog... 1: Use lowest octane fuel possible! I mean it! just run your tank down to near dry and put a few gallons of low grade in it, it will run cleaner. I do smog exams all the time, #1 reason I see people fail is they think premium runs cleaner, it doesn't entirely opposite, lower octane=faster burn. 2: There are additives you can use to help you pass as well, check a parts store near you.

Hrm, not sure about that 1.0 a/r. would be that much sweeter on top side, but think about where you live... now imagine having to drive up SF hills (if you live in sf that is) without the little torque you had down low.... fear! 8) then again you could go for the best of both worlds and find an old turbonetics VATN equipped unit.... that'll do nicely, but good luck findind someone who will part with one

What? Couldn't you at least find a decent sized turbo? I've seen gopeds with better Heh, just remember one detonation and goodbye apex seals.....

Who cares if she's hot?! If she isn't you can divorce and get half the Z's!

Sooooo.... where does your boss live again?

As was previously mentioned one of the dangers of overrev is valve float and piston contact with the valve. The other is your con rods. As engine speeds increase the inertial loads on the rods increase exponentially on a non-linear scale. In english this means that the strain on the rods increasing 1000 rpm from 5000 rpm to 6000 rpm is MUCH lower then the strain of going from 6000 to 7000 RPM. Eventually the rod itself will stretch, as will the bolts, it will either shear, whack a valve, or in the worst case (as if shearing wasnt bad enough) it will gain so much clearance it will finally destroy the crank, valves, and most likely will go out the side of your block making a fist sized hole...... Moral of the story, don't overrev

??? try as I might, I can't find that kit for the starion listed on their site.

Concord California to Charlotte North Carolina to pick up my brother when he got out of the marines..... all I can say is... I will NEVER stop at a waffle house again it was like a scene straight out of a movie... the strangers walk in.. the music stops... and everyone turns to stare..... spooky...

another list of the Nissan line... http://www.freshalloy.com/site/features/tech/engines/home.shtml

I'm assuming thats 6,000 rpm instead of 600 but daaaaamn, that will be very nice at freeway speeds.

Just curious, but has anyone here tried to get a RB30E? They can be fitted with the RB25 head, just a suggestion.....

Well, since it is the "other engines" forum, this should probably get stickied or better yet, someone with some time on their hands should take all the data off the list and update it with the new models and any other interesting engines, then keep a running list on this forum

Well, I can't seem to find any specs for the car...... I would very much like to see some numbers on a dyno and a skidpad. It looks freakin gorgeous but I want to know how well it works before I give it any more thought

How much power would you get? Well, that's entirely up to you and how drivable you like your car. Also, keep in mind turbo cams are entirely different from NA cams, you will want a minimal amount of overlap even at fairly high rpm. I agree with the above though, a cam is not something you need to worry about until you have tuned the rest of the motor, If you are pushing 3 liters with 11psi you should be making much more then 190hp, somethings fishy, especially with ported head, IC and intake/exhaust. Also, you have to keep in mind what you want your boost threshold to be (not to be called 'lag', lag is different) the size of the turbine housing will also play a direct role on what cam profile you select. Is the car going to be a daily driver? Rev range? Write down what you're looking for out of your car (and how much gas you can afford higher overlap eats ALOT of gas) then decide

Heh, speaking of the prof check this out, so one of the first days (it's organic chem) we were doing a review of chem 10 (general intro chem) and one of the other students asked a question about hydrogen bonding, and the teacher looked straight at him, and I quote "What does it matter? I'm not going to test you on it." I almost dropped the class, but I do need the units

Alright, what the hell is wrong with people in general? Am I one of those cursed people who seem to just attract stupidity like a magnet or what? So yesterday I'm cruising down the street on my way to get a sandwich (mmmmm roast beef....) it's a fairly wide road, 2 lanes on each side, and I'm in the left of the 2 lanes on my side of the street, noone else around me for a hundred feet in front or in back. Now there are residential streets that intersect the road every so often and all of then are stop signs. So I'm cruising, going 47 in 45 zone (slight downhill) and I see someone in a big ol' lincoln continental stop at the intersection about 200 feet in front of me... no biggie right? So I keep going and sure enough the guy waits... UNTIL I'M RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM! As I am less then 50 feet away he then pulls out and STALLS HIS DAMN CAR across BOTH lanes of the road! So I slam the brakes as hard as I can and lock the wheels, slide for about 48 feet and stop right off his door, and he has the damn GALL to look at ME accusingly! So now I've got 4 nice flat spots on brand new Perellis (~$200 per tire) and noone to pay for this since he isn't liable unless there was an accident.... ARRRRGGGH!

So, I felt the need to share this because it really shows how bad things are getting...... or maybee it's just the people around here... I'm a 2nd year college student, taking my first semester of *cue horror music* CHEMISTRY!!!! And I'm fairly abominable at taking notes.... so of course I get the teacher from hell who gives tests three chapters at a time.... things are looking grim for our hero. So I've been clawing my way through the book and the semester with equal parts frustration at poor teaching methods (imho) and very difficult test, and to this date I have yet to score better then 78% on any of her tests.... not good..... right??? So we just had a test last wednesday on another 3 chapters and of course as I'm taking the test, even with my mountain of notecards I STILL managed to bungle it fairly badly, that is to say today when I recieved my scantron I was very irked at the 69% displayed. At this point I'm at my desk, mulling over how badly I hate this class when I say outloud (venting) "I can't (censored) believe this! 48 notecards, 6 hours of studying and I get a dang 69%! percent?! ARRGGGGHHH" So at this point people are staring at me....... but not for what you would think, turns out the class average on ALL the tests to date has been around 38% and I've been throwing the curve....... as such I am one of 3 people with A's and over half the class is failing........ Don't that just beat all?

Just going to add in my $0.02 here.... ZTR, Since you seem to want this car to be a daily driver and be able to dominate on the streets, I assume you are talking about dominating in a straight line High revving race engines are really only better then turbo motors in one respect, high rpms allows for better entry and exit on turns, due to the lag turbos develop however slight it may be. If you ask most F1 engineers they will almost unanamously agree that on a circuit a turbocharged car requires about 20-25% more horsepower to keep up with a naturally aspirated all other things being equal. But as cool as it may sound, unless you plan on using a high revving engine for the purpose of something like road racing, turbocharging is probably the way you would want to go, a turbo engine for the street will also most likely get better economy (unless you keep your foot in it all the time ) and with a budget of $5500 you could build a mean turbo plant. But by all means, if you love to corner fast go for the high revs, if you just want a street beast, go turbo. Either way.... Have fun with it

Cable companies suck serious nuts.... a year a half ago I moved into a new apartment in San Luis Obispo to start my 2nd year at college, so I ordered cable internet from good ol' Charter, at $60/mo it was 1.5mbit/384kbit split between me and my roommate, and all was well..... for a time..... Now I participate on MIRC and kazaa etc all the time (nothing illegal of course but I upload alot, I believe in giving back. Now to the technology illiterate there are 8 bit to a byte hence a upload speed of 384kbit is about 48kbytes, minus losses and latency and routing, i usually managed about a 37k upload speed.... so one day I come home and go to my computer to find it strangly laggy.... hmmmm.... reboot modem.... run diagnostics on cable and router... hmmm..... what gives? So I pull up the configuration on my modem... AHHA! It's setup for 1.5mbit/128kbit??? WTF? Now you may or may not know that the setup speed for cable modems is determined when you boot up the modem and is updated at set intervals via the home office of the cable company, so you can't change it, only the provider can. So I call them up and they deny ever having had an account that offered 384kbit upstream and appearantly had no records to the contrary nor 'to their knowledge' had they EVER offered such a package. So, after much swearing and clawing my way up the chain of command I got connected with the regional manager who informed me that as of the previous day WITHOUT informing ANY customers all plans were changed to the new package AND pricing was INCREASED... WTF.... So I mentioned the fact that I had a piece of paper stating the speeds I payed for and the fact that I signed for a 2 year contract and he called BS on me, which in essence was true, they did not SEND me a contract, but I DID have one.... with a signature too the technician who came to the house tested and setup the line for a certain speed, in this case 384kbit so I was able to prove my case and Charter had to reset my account and not only give me back my full service but at a discounted rate so I wouldnt cry to the FCC on them score one for the poor college student BTW, I imagine you could request a printed copy of all services offered at time of contract from a cable company for television, same thing should apply, they shouldnt be able to change what you pay for if you have a year long contract, those of you with month to month, bummer

If you have access to an oscilliscope put in on the car and have someone watch the firing line and spark line while you put a load on it. From what you describe, what I understand is that this only happens from a stop, but does it occur at high speed when you put the engine under heavy load? If it doesn't then your injectors are fine. Also, how did you disable your EGR? This kind of thing can also be caused by open EGR valve at idle. Is it blocked off? Your fuel pressure sounds good, 35psi at idle is fine, I would be highly suspect of your 'custom programming' at this point since you have eliminated all of the physical elements of the ignition system, and since you have pressure and don't have missfires at high speed and high load it very much sounds like a problem with injector drivers or ignition tables. I doubt it is a vacuum leak as that would cause high curb idle. Since it only happens in gear it is obviously load dependant, things that register off engine load are MAP sensor and Vacuum advance if you use vac advance. Check the MAP sensor and the computer fuel/spark tables. Most likely you will find your culprit there. Good luck
