Uhhhh yeh.....soooo I popped my 3.0, lol

Specs on that motor
Stock bottom end (should hold 450ish)
HR Headgaskets
HR Headstuds
Revup oil pump
Rev Up cams
HR springs double shimmed
Revup Retainers
Port and Polished heads
Portmatched LIM to heads, and LIM to UIM
New Valve Seals

Motor was built by Kevin, KRRZ350. He did a great job and for a sweet price. Very good guy to deal with.

Are you doing a full swap or 3.0 timing?

 

lol, Uh oh, how did you blow up the 3.0?

Are you doing a hybrid swap or full 3.5 swap?

Heads with valve springs and retainers are FS and head gasket and HR bolts too. Make offer. Also have LIM and UIM for sale thats matched to the heads.




3.5, she will soon hit the streets again, backyard buildin all day



And for the ignorant, CareBears.........
we <3 you

 

Hybrid Swap

Snapped a rod, too much boost......learning experience

 

Oh snap!

Good luck with the new build!

 

Dayum! Goodluck on the swap.

 

what kind of rpms were you turning, how much boost and did you have a boost spike

also why did you upgrade the rods or atleast the rod bolts

 

gl with the swap

 

this is like the 1st time i have seen a 3.0 pop a rod, how much boost were u pushing?

 

how much boost were you pushing ? what EMS were you running ?

 

Same questions here, lol how much boost and rpms.

 

Is it possible if you could share more details as to how the engine poped, so others can use it for future reference, 1st time iv seen broken rod on a three 0? like how much boost/hp, what is knocking (too much timing?), did you overrev etc...

Seen that ur going to be revving pretty high (based on the HR equipment ur using), you sure u going to feel safe making 450ish with stock rods and reving 7k?

 

Was running 15psi, it was holding well when I was spraying alot of meth. I turned down the meth a bit and then had a lil boost spike. Motor popped at about 5k.

 

I boost spike will do it everytime. I am guessing your not running a 3inch exhaust or have the wastegate in the best location

BTW, how many psi did it shot up too

 

damn thats tough. I remember when I had my 3.0 at 15-16psi for a while, eventually I swapped it out because of excessive blowby (car would get covered in smoke at every stop light). It probably had broken ring lands. I know it was my fault because of my style of tuning, I would turn everything up high till I heard audible knock then set things back a lil bit till it went away, NOT GOOD TUNING at all, but it lasted me about 2 years on boost and another 1 or 2 years on nitrous.

 

Damn Bish so 3.5 I see. Good luck with this one!

 

lol, well spike was due to something so stupid I don't want to post......lol
I just have to look back and LOL, just dont let any friends touch your car when working on it no matter how much they want to help.......

 

Well let us know anyways so we dont make the same mistake you did. lol

 

No software controlling your fuel/boost?

 

^ my fuel setup is simple, FMU and contrary to common belief the walbro and fmu works nicely with turbo. It does not take too long to bump fuel pressure.

lets just say someone was helping me and pinched my WG line with a strap
can't be mad because I looked it over and didn't catch it. The WG was opening but the line was pinched so it wasnt opening fast enough

 

what size are the revup injectors at 3 and 4 bar

 

I agree FMU and walbro should work pretty good. I didnt have an FMU but I do have a 1:1 fpr, i had my base fuel pressure at about 60psi on 440cc's and it had absolutely no leaning problems at 15psi. so with FMU having normal base pressure it is perfect.

I figured that was the issue, someone pulling the reference line or something like that by mistake. Sucks such a simple mistake can destroy a motor. Iv maxed out my boost gauge a few times (max is 20psi) on my 3.5 lol, but thank god my turbo is way out of efficiency at that range and no damage was done, despite being built.

 

Good luck on ur next build

 

well, here are the pics of my timing swap in progress. Should have the motor in and running this weekend.
Props to turbo Mike on the tech line

 

what size are revup injectors at 3bar

 

i don't know bro

 

Damn...sorry this happened to you man. Good luck with the 3.5

 

So did you upgrade any of the 3.5 parts? Rods, pistons, head bolts?

 

some pics of the timing swap almost done

its almost ready to go in
I should have snapped a pic with all the iming marks lined up before I turned it by hand

 

 

yo bish i cant wait til your **** is done im a have to swing by one of these days

 

I can not see from the pic but did you drill a hole in the rear timing cover to allow oil to pass thur. The one on the front somewhat lines up but the rear one does not, if you look at the 3.5 inner cover you'll see what I am talking about. It's near the timing marks by the vtc niods

 

please tell me that you are putting forged parts in this 3.5

 

hmm....did not but good looking out, next time I will do this

I said but my wallet said

 

Lol

 

what do you think is going to happen to your 3.5.

 

gonna beat the **** out of it blow it and swap another one in......

I am building a motor this winter tho, however its not for the maxima, its for a nissan and will be seeing 20psi and better

KA-T
