Those are some thick walled pins! And I thought the ones I will be going with were thick at .225"!

 

Basically I'm planning to push 250+hp per cyl, so they are needed. I've seen .200 pins bend before on similar builds.

 

Bottom line, I don't want to do this twice, so I got the biggest ones you can get at the moment. A little more rotational mass, but that's the price you pay for not bending them!

With all this motor progress, its time to get started on the little things... first up, reloading my intake manifold with all the goodies.

Then on to the most painful but most simplistic fix. Swapping the chipped floater out of my tilton for a nice new one.

did you ask tilton about any kind of warranty on that plate?

 

They helped me out a little on pricing, but that was all.

 

Bottom line, in a race application, all the liability is on the customer. They are happy to help you get it back in shape though for the least cost.

 

I was very happy with the candid nature and help Tilton provided, but as you know, their carbon clutches are all race applications, so they cannot warranty anything.

 

I have actually seen guys with brand new Tilton triple carbon clutches set the preload on the clutch incorrectly and wear them out in a matter of a few hundred miles.

Well Saturday was productive. 18 hour day yielded a motor assembly and getting most of the accessories on the car and getting the tilton back on the V160 again. So happy all the "hard stuff" is done. I have to figure out where to get a meziere electric water pump idler pulley or ill be forced to drop power steering, which isn't what I wanted to do. Hopefully meziere will sell one separately.

 

Here are some photos from Saturday. 7:30AM to 1:30AM the next day.

Hope to make some more progress after work this evening.

Very nice!

 

1) What is sitting next to the Super?

 

2) What made you go electric WP?

 

That is my friends Datsun 280z. not sure what year, but its 197X vintage. I want to say '76.

 

I went to an electric pump because we half filled the block while it was apart. Should be a lot stiffer and take more hp before it breaks. Very common on the 2j platform past 1100whp. Some have ran more, but my block is already at the max machining that id like to see (.040 over), so I opted to fill it half way since it needed a cleanup hone anyway.

That Blue one with the SBC that was at Akron vs the World?

 

Understood with the WP-I have run the 4G63's we have half filled with regular pumps without issue, but the electric is a great upgrade-also great to cool down at the track with the car off. I though those cylinder walls looked thin....

Yep that's the same one. Drivetrain is for sale if you know anyone that needs it. He wants a turbo engine. The SBC V8 was a great starter drivetrain, now he wants something with a turbo. Unfortunately the T5 and SBC don't do it for him anymore, so he wants to swap it all out for something different.

Well got the N20 Purge back up and working.

 

 

 

Then fired the car up after a debacle of issues with injectors. #1 was shorting internally on the wire, so I ran a replacement. Afterword she was running like clockwork.

 

 

The car now has decided that the rear main seal is not going to cooperate. The car runs great, but is seeping a lot of oil out of the weep hole on the back of the block. After a 3 week long marathon, I'm tired of looking at it and have lost all motivation to keep plugging away at it. Into deep storage it goes until next season when I will get to pull the tranny for a rear main seal, tightening up a few minor things and finally running the car.

I would repair the rear main before selling it. $30 seal and a couple hours in the shop is not that huge of a dilemma. Its more the fact that I never get to enjoy the car. If it doesn't sell, ill run it next year.

 

 

ive been where you are before I do regret selling my car some times.

I have just been thwarted every time I wanted to run the car. Get the car out to SP and the oil control rings fail. When I pull the motor, the clutch has a cracked disc. Order the new disc and start on a rebuild. Struggle to get it in one piece then once all back together, the rear main leaks, coolant leaks at the firewall, along with a shorting injector. Small stuff not working right have kept me from running the car all year. Fairly aggravating. I still have not made it to the track with the car that is literally built to go down the track. Its the cars only purpose

 

It could be worse. I could be in the Staats boat of blowing up 4 motors in 2 years.
