3 more days, it dosnt take that long to reseal a timing cover...... just the power steering is a b(*&&

 

Yeah I know. We'll be working on it but the way things have been going it may not happen in time.

 

im gonna break mine down today!

 

If you can do your whole swap over in 3 days then we can do this.

 

sorry to hear about the leak bro.....

after i got mine all together i have a freakin coolant leak! sucks....good luck getting it fixed!!

 

Sorry to hear bout dat oil leak, bruh.

 

So before tearing things apart I decided to try and figure out where exactly the leak is coming from. I believe it is the 2 O-rings in the upper oil pan. I checked the timing cover and it looks sealed pretty good. I shot some video of the leak so maybe you can see something I dont.



I love how it starts every single time with no problem.

 

Cant really tell without being right there.

 

Yup I think thats the upper oil pan...
Time consuming, but should be an easy fix over the weekend.

 

Wow that thing is pissing.

I have a leak as well but not that bad. Im for sure that the VTC solenoid is leaking on me since i dont have a gasket for it but i have it all gooped up with rtv. I know i have one on the lower pan as well .

But yeah it does look like its coming from your upper pan.(with some pressure obviously)

Out of curiousity did you lubed up the o-rings before you installed them? Or maybe they got pinched when putting on the upper. Hell i pinched my dip stick when i put mine on but that was totally a dumb **** mistake by me lol

 

The crazy thing is I never removed the oil pan because I was afraid it would leak if I did.

 

mine is leaking oil from somewhere, ill get to it one of these days or something but hope you get it controlled and then hit the track for some #'s

 

My 4th gen's oil pan is leaking in the same place, but not nearly as much as this one is. I've never yet touched my oil pan other than to change the oil and it just decided to let loose. It really makes a mess under there too Time to break out the Engine Degreaser while you're fixing it. Nice job with the swap and the pictures, enjoy!

 

c'mon bruh tell us what you're doin bout it.

 

Pulling the motor and re-doing everything.

 

SO I was missing the center o-ring on the block. If you go back through my pics you'll see the one on the left is there but the center one is missing. I bought a new one from the dealer and installed it. Now we are putting the gasket back on and bolting everything back up. Also we dropped the oil pan this time just to be safe.

 

Everythings back together and its not leaking any more. The end.

 

Goooood to hear there are no leaks but im afraid this is just the begining.
You see... you have to dyno/track the car now because a whole lot of people are waiting for this

 

That's what's up...

 

 

LOL we'll be hitting the track friday. I dont know about dynoing, that will be up to her. She's more worried about getting her black i30 seats in more than anything.

 

Yeah. Its crazy how it only took us 4 days to redo everything after all this time lol.

 

Talk about a sigh of relief! After all this I'm sure we could do it again in 2 days.

 

So we took the car to the track with plans NOT to run it but she just couldnt help herself and did anyway. We checked the codes the day we finished the swap and had 12 many of which was caused by a plug on the tranny being upside down which was fixed before we went to the track. I know the knock sensor harness is broken and will be fixed today. She ended up running 3 times and got a best of 15.508@90mph. This was with a 2.3 60' and stock cat and catback. From experience I know the knock sensor added a full second to my times so we will be in the 14's soon. Also a 2.1 60 should knock another 4 tenths off but we'll see.

 

UPDATE: Just fixed the knock sensor and took it out for a test drive and OMFG I've never felt a maxima move like that. Makes mine feel slow as *****.

 

Maybe thats cause it is







see me

Naw really though I am glad its up and running. Well worth the wait

 

LOL. I took mine out after I drove hers and FAIL smh. My transmission feels better though lol.

Now we have the usual swap codes EGR and EVAP. We'll probably be at the junkyard this weekend looking for a 95 auto ECU. Cant wait to get this thing dynoed.

 

got a auto ecu, dont remember what year it came from though.....

 

Nice nice, question. What was wrong with the KS?

 

It was dead when we bought the car.

 

If you can verify its a 95 I may pick it up from you.

 

Yeah man when i first did the swap i didnt have any KS hooked up. I was pretty disapointed in the swap. But then i hooked up the resistor and i experinced the same thing you just did

Makes it worth all the trouble

 

nice man...its about time this got finished

 

Update: At the dyno right now and it made 210whp and 213tq.

 

Not bad. Stock exhaust?

 

Yup stock cat and catback. We're very happy with results and with that HP we should be able to hit 13's.

 

Yup. Where did you dyno?

 

ISP in college park. We had a little dyno day.

 

 

where are the dyno numbers for the 210??? dyno must of spiked for a stock catback lol......
