nismopu Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Is the TT oil pump a sizable upgrade? Also, i noticed on many na2t build threads folks switching out the GE HG for the GTE thicker HG. Were you looking for quicker spool time by using the GE HG and retaining the higher comp? I am at the point of collecting parts to put my GE back together and was just curious about some of your choices for parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am at the point of collecting parts to put my GE back together and was just curious about some of your choices for parts. To be honest I am not sure what flow difference between two pumps are I only went with TT oil pump because it has provision for crank sensor. I do know however that when you go with TT pump and you use 2jzge block with no piston oil squirters they tend to push front main seal out from high pressure. Most companies just put few screws around the front main seal and that seems to work just fine. I am leaving mine alone until I notice oil coming from the front of the engine (if it happens). I wanted to stay with high compression plain because of all the benefits that it will provide and I am mostly going to run the car on race gas so it just made sense to me.

Ivan280zt Posted November 13, 2011 Author Share Posted November 13, 2011 (edited) I have been running hand full or errands over the last two weeks but I finally got the chance to post some pictures of the updates. I took the compressor cover and fuel rail to get polished and I should have it back sometime next week. Got the water neck back from the powdercoater. Exhaust manifold installed with all new oem studs and bolts. Belive it or not it took me over an hour to get all the studs in without cutting them down... Bracket from head to the manifold is on but I think that I will have some clearance issues with the quick spool valve so I will have to see how that goes next week. Cam gears were faded from sitting so I had them powdercoated in gloss black and I installed the Titan cam gear bolts. Radiator all cleaned up. All new timing gear parts. Fan shroud welded to the radiator. New lower cover. Twin turbo valve covers painted same color as the engine bay, intake manifold powdercoated in wrinkle black, brand new igniton coils with brackets, and one super sweet TRD oil cap. New coil cover that I wanted to get repainted but it looks so good with the factory color that I am going to leave it alone. Water neck installed. Upper radiator hose done. Lower radiator hose done (looks twisted but its not). Sepertine belt tensioner and water pump ready for the powdercaoting. I should have some more stuff done by end of the next week then I will update on the progess. Edited November 13, 2011 by Ivan280zt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RagingPanda Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 After seeing what you did with with 240SX and KA-T I really want to see this bad boy run. Most people with your power goal run the R230 off Q45. Is the R200 strong enough? I'm sure you will be putting down 600wtq+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked with Ivan at Ams his first name is my middle name I belive that's where the confusion comes from. I am pretty sure that R-200 will be good to start with if it blows up I will go with solid rear end.

Ivan280zt Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 (edited) Got some more stuff done this week. Water pump pulley and belt tensioner came back from powedercoating and they look great. Cleaned and repainted crank pulley and installed S2000 ribbed belt idler on belt tensioner. B&M transmission oil cooler installed. -6 lines and AN fittings. I was going to use straight black -6 fittings but in the end they would not clear trans tunnel so I had to run to the local speed shop and get 45deg fittings but all they had were red/blue... My down pipe is in the same area as these two lines so I got some fire sleve on there just in case. I left enough slack in the lines so that I can get them closer to the frame rail in the case that downpipe comes too close to it. I am still waiting on the compressor cover to come back from polisher and few small things here and there so thats it for now.

Ivan280zt Posted November 19, 2011 Author Share Posted November 19, 2011 (edited) Here are some really sweet pics of the never ending project from today! Lokar firewall mount transimission dipstick... lol I was not going to drill any damn holes on my firewall after all the work that was put into it so I just cut the bracket apart bent it and mounted it to the head. Finding M10x1.25 1.5" long studs locally NOT FUN!!! Now thats what I call true blow through turbo!!! Exhaust housing was rusted so bad from sitting that I had it bead blasted and lightly coated with wd40. Got my cover back from local polisher talk about BLING. Nice row of the coolers. Tial BOV. Going to work on intake manifold stuff tomorrow every time I see less of that blue tape I feel so much better! Before Now Hot pipe powdercoated in wrinkle black. Thats about all I got for this week. Few more things so take care off then its time for the fuel system carnage. Edited November 20, 2011 by Ivan280zt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
