Aint it cool!

I started on the assembly today, got the under piston oil squirters installed, got the ARP mains put in, found out I ordered two of the wrong bearing sets DOUGH!!!! Allways double check these things! I also updated a few things on my webpage. I cant get my video section to work the doem load just displays garbage on the screen, anyone got a clue?

 

 

does his shirt read bob the builder? its pretty fun if it does.


keep building!

 

The pit crew is cute.

 

ROFL, yea Bob the engine builder!

 

oh well you done did it now. a few more years and your kids are gonna whupp your butt (9 second cars) lol.

 

Bwhahahaah...training them young, huh Mardi.

So you had to remove the piston squirters for the machine shop and you just reinstalled them?

Also, whose pistons are you running? If Arias, are these the newer ones with the piston squirter clearance notches?

 

Exactly, just remove and reinstall. I am running CP pistons from SGP.

 

So their 8.5:1 pistons, correct?

 

That is a cool pic


Good luck on the engine

 

VQ's have piston squirters? I only knew of the VG30DET's. Wow. Can't wait to see the finished project. What are your plans for the rest of the engine?

Edit: Nevermind, I just read your page.

 

The VQ35's do. The 30 does not.

 

i think he said 9:1

 

they are 8:5:1 pistons, but using the VQ30 heads it brings the compression up to about 9:4:1 IIRC...

 

Per his updated website...

"The CP pistons are designed to give 8.5:1 CR with the larger volume VQ35 cylinder head combustion chambers. Since I am using the VQ30 heads with a smaller combustion chamber volume the CR will be ~9.4:1. This should be just fine and make for great throttle response."

Any chance you're going to SwainTech coat them or the CCs?

 

did you get the pistons that were fixed. They had to machine some away because they were hitting the piston squiters.

 

Can you link me to info on this...

 

no swain or cc, just huice the heck out of them and hold on

 

The article is on my350z.com Some had clearance issues, others did not.

 

Very nice. After seeing that, I was wishing I did the same.

Good luck with the motor.

 

it ended up being all of them. Some people just didnt notice.



Mardi call the piston manuacture and they will fix your pistons. Or you can do it at a machine shop.

 

Hey matt I got your message, call me tonight at the house and we can get the vids up

 

I talked to Kyle about the CP pistons, I may call CP myself and see... Kyle said I need to measure clearance. Mine have notches but I'm not sure if its enough.
