blew the turbo 2 weeks ago.. pulling it out tomorrow hopefully its just the oil seal if not i have a 700 dollar paper weight -.-
since the turbo blew winter down time is in action i bought a new sr20 swap so i have 2 swaps ill be selling my old full swap after winter
got stuff accomplished i guess.. there was oil on the cold side of the turbo and oil in the intercooler piping rofl could not get the turbo out cuz the down pipe bolts rusted up and pretty much disintegrated pretty shitty so tried to pull the whole turbo assembly with the down pipe connected but the steering shaft is in the way ill finish it tomorrow cuz the bears game is on
I bought a whole new sr20det s13 came with everything trans ecu wiring bla bla blacktop swap. Today me and eric got started in tearing down the new sr I got for next season aside from there being A LOT of RTV and random bolts used and the broken timing chain cover the engine overall looks GREAT. Im pretty happy about it cyl walls look great the head looks fantastic. Im happy about the engine building class my teacher Mr. Norden is a great guy and knows his stuff. I cant wait to keep on building this but from the looks of it im going to need the right bolts for the most part im still re-searching on what cams and turbo I want to run next season
here's the block it self took off all the accessories and what not pretty clean
valve cover off the cyl head is pretty clean took off the cam caps and everything looks good and in order
Rocker arm's are off and as u can see the head is great and nice!! Cams off and shims are off I dropped one of the shims and I think its in the oil pan lol taking that off tomorrow
I LOVE THIS THING!! KEEPS EVERYTHING NICE AND ORGANIZED!!!
I tried to get a good angle but the cyl walls look great no scoring or anything pretty happy about it
More updates tomorrow taking the upper and lower oil pan off the procedures are pretty crazy on doing it
still doing research on what cams and turbo im going to run ive been reading on the gt2871r and i wanna shoot at a good 360 hp ill be happy pretty much on zilvia ive seen 262 cams with valve springs and that turbo can reach that easy i don't wanna re use the s15 turbo even though my buddy pavel can rebuild it the max he said is 320ish on them

Kinda got a lot of work done today had couple of demo's from the teacher that I already know. But had to kind wasted a hours time for the tear down but whatever got lower oil pan off and the upper oil pan the previous owner used a lot and I mean A LOT of RTV there was a freaking mountain of it I got a picture of it. I found a piece of metal idk what it is till I get to the block it self and tearing that apart but on to the pics
The lower oil pan bolt removal sequence inward to out ward starting in the middle towards the back of the engine, Here you can see that there is a lot of RTV used and we found sludge in the lower oil pan -.- and a piece of metal idk what it was or where its from but I will find out soon
pretty clean except for some sludge
here is that metal chunk idk if you guys can see it found it in the lower oil pan
upper oil pan off and the baffle plate is also off u can see more sludge and RTV EVERYWHERE mountains of it there is a bolt sequence on how to take off the lower oil pan also its outward bolts to in ward in pairs
A little rtv mountain I made lol
Got most of the rtv off from the block and the upper oil pan started running out of time tomorrow taking off the harmonic balancer and the timing chain cover and timing chain
Everything nice and separated and labeled
Eric went to town on the upper oil pan in the solvent tank lol
thats it for today!

Big update today well kinda I suppose? got a lot done took the timing chain cover off. I need a new one because it was broken when I got it. Harmonic balancer is off, valves, springs, retainers, oil seals, lashers are all out. Cleaned the head super freaking clean and parts labeled neatly =] dones anyone know the BEST way to get rtv out in little crevices ?
As you can see here the timing chain cover is off and SURPRISE a lot more RTV!
Upper and lower oil pan, oil pick up, and both upper and lower baffle plates scrubbed down in the solvent tank pretty clean just gotta get that rtv out
Upper oil pan cleaned and put in a hot bath (forgot what the machine is called sprays hot solvent on it and cleans it) still gotta get that damn rtv out but idk if it matters.
THIS VALVE REMOVER IS AWESOME!!!!! I love it had some trouble using it because I was not paying attention in class when my teacher was doing a demo on it -.- LOL all the valves, retainers, keepers, springs are off!! the valve seat looks to be in good shape gonna be measuring the valves and the seat tomorrow to see if the valves are still good to use MIGHT upgrade but cash is running tight
THIS TRAY IS AMAZING! keeps everything nice and organizes. Theres some carbon build up on the exhaust valves not so much on the intake valves, oil seals on the lashers are done gotta buy new ones, lashers look good gonna re use them
The head with nothing on it but the freeze plugs and valve guides kinda dirty
Thats okay!! we can clean it! used almost a whole can of degrease why? cuz I can and its free lol let it soak for about 5 mins then got the power washer out! sprayed the shit out of it. Turned out pretty good and clean tomorrow gonna use that machine again forgot what its called to make it nice and clean and ready!!

I had to use the corner of a scraper in the little crevaces. It just takes time and patience. That and a spray can of carb cleaner or something similar.

looks great did you touch the bottom end? thats what im shooting for but with 550's
Yeah i touched every last bolt on my engine, I installed all new crank and rod bearings, Arp main, rod, and head studs, !!!CAREFULL IF YOU USE ARP MAIN STUDS!!!!
The 2 rear exhaust side ones need to be ground down or they will hit your pan and stress or crack it!!! see the pics Aslo if you use arp studs they will change the squish on the bearings, after tightening my mains my crank wouldnt turn, I had to get it line honed. so unless you plan on taking it apart over and over (Arp's are reusable unlike factory) I would order OEM bolts.

So friday I had a good solid 2 hours to work on the head getting it ready or the new step 2 262 brian crower cams and brian crower ti valve springs and retainers check it out so clean prolly going to paint the out side hi temp silver make it cleaner
heres kind of a before shot after I took it out side and hosed it down
After shots I was working the head with the fine hair wire brush attachment in a drill then used small wire brushes the exhaust ports were a bitch to clean and get in too
after all of that I took it to the solvent tank for more cleaning and de greasing and stuff then I risned it out with water then I stuck it in this thing I forgot to ask again what its called but it was in my previous post like a 200 degree bath of solvent to clean stuff out and put a protective coating like a huge oven with hot ass water if anyone knows the name tell me haha ill ask on monday
Had to wait 30 mins so me and eric cleaned up the valves before and after side by side. Gonna mic them monday see if I can even re use them if not gotta buy a new set
Fresh out the oven I did a pretty decent job!
This is where everything is stored lol
This build makes me sad and happy at the same time. I thought I was going just for a stock re build but I said fuck it and get better parts now im broke as a joke im sure a lot of people are who owns these kind's of cars and motors thats it for now
