Was the tube that went into the manifold and egr tube and do you need a plate to block that off or does it come with it or it’s a non issue?
@mattd9992
@mattd9992 15 күн бұрын
is it worth getting the pan or a spacer in your opinion as the baffles aren't that large, does it still keep the oil centred on the pick up tube do you think ?
@OldDatsun
@OldDatsun 12 күн бұрын
From reading other people's experiences, the baffles still keep oil centered around the pickup. They are small but they do help keep more oil centered for the pickup.

While a light flywheel will help it rev faster, you sacrifice a lot of drivability. For a mostly tracked car not a big deal. For a street car the juice is not worth the squeeze

I found where you talk about this but you used a stock cam. Do you have anything on a more aggressive cams installation?
@OldDatsun
@OldDatsun 3 ай бұрын
I should have shown it but you use a feeler gauge between the cam lobe and the pads on top of each valve when the valve is closed. Although they are larger cams, these gaps are still the same as stock. This is also why I was able to reuse my original pads. The gap is the distance between the lobe when the valve is closed and not when the lobe is depressed on the pad, opening the valve.

Yes I left the first piston at TDC but the cams won't sit exactly where you need them. After I installed the cam gears and lined up the timing chains I still needed to adjust the cams with a wrench to get the correct positions.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the HR oil pump doesn't fit the De engine, TMK the upgrade is the rev-up oil pump from the VQ35DE rev-up motor. If you need a bigger upgrade the that would be boundary billet gears.
@OldDatsun
@OldDatsun 7 ай бұрын
You're correct. I misspoke on this. This oil pump is from Concept Z Performance and is sold as a rev up oil pump upgrade that fits into a DE. This is also a cheaper option than going for billet gears and fits better for my build. Here's a link to the oil pump if anyone is curious. conceptzperformance.com/nissan-infiniti-nissan-oem-oil-pump-revup-upgrade-for-vq35de-nissan-350z-infiniti-g35-15010-ac70a_p_2033.php
