jmorris6689 Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 Don't know the last motor made 463 on 19psi with no timing above 4k. So this one should make more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmorris6689 Posted June 26, 2013 Author Share Posted June 26, 2013 Ok so I have a kinda stupid idea... I'm ready for the insults. But I want to take out my factory seats and install some stock r35 gtr seats. The reason behind it is I love my power leather seats, but they don't hold me in at all. And the gtr seats are way better in the holding department and they are still a nice leather with alcantra and have power seat controls. I know they are heavy but I can shave weight in other places on the car. But does anyone know of another seat that is a nice leather finish that holds you in and possibly has electronic controls. The gtr seat also is heated like mine so that is a plus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmorris6689 Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 The motor is ready to be dropped into the car I'm gonna work in doing that this weekend. Really sucks that it's going to be 120 outside! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmorris6689 Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 Started to get ready for the big drop in day tomorrow! It is STUPID HOT right now so I really only have half a day to work on it (early morning starting at 5:30 and late night) so hopefully I can atleast get the motor in and the trans mission attached. Then Sunday put in the radiator, intercooler, oil cooler, and hook up some form of exhaust. I might leave it open downpipe seein as I have a neighbor that revs the crap out of his old crap Nissan truck with no exhaust litterly everyday for about 30 min. No idea what this guy is doing to it but I know excessive reving of the motor is of no use. Especially at 11 at night. So I think I may need to test mine out open down pipe for a bit to get the point across.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmorris6689 Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 Ran into a problem, somewhere between North Carolina and Arizona I've lost my 6 speed clutch release fork and my transmission to engine bolts. I called the dealership and ordered new ones to te tune of $120. But they won't get in till Thursday. So I guess I'm forced to wait until then.

Moderators BarManBean Posted July 8, 2013 Moderators Share Posted July 8, 2013 Everything is in and ready to go, I was about two seconds from starting it up and found that the oil pan was pouring oil out. Just for kicks, did you remember to install the oil galley plug that sits right near the flywheel (back of the motor, facing the transmission bellhousing)? Where is the pan leaking from, just a bad seal? "Bullet-proof" your OEM TMIC! <<Buy your kit here>> Not currently in stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmorris6689 Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 It's leaking from the bolts on the oil pan that's closest to the transmission. Least my motor mounts are brand new so they came un done easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmorris6689 Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 And the oil pan leaks again, not nearly as bad as the first time but still a steady drip, bit it's not in the same place as before. The guy that sold me this block stripped out about 5 of the oil pan bolt holes so I'm sure this isn't helping. Spend $2200 on a short block that I had to tear apart and rebuild, I was told it was drop in ready. This blows I'm gonna try something else here in a bit hopefully it works out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
