Sonvia NEO engine build

[@mrg1875]

Honestly if Darren made a KZbin channel I would watch the shit out of it lol. Such a knowledgeable guy, I would love to learn more from him.

[@DriftSquid]

He has videos on his website but not like what we are doing

[@stashtrey1]

Lot of great tips from an old pro in this series. Invaluable knowledge. Even just simple stuff like the ARP grease and how to bed the studs. There is so much conflicting info online. I went through it last year rebuilding my little S52 M3 motor. Got to hang out for a bit with the machine shop that did my head and it was such a fun experience.

[@DriftSquid]

Best way to learn from the pros 👍👌

[@jdmimportlogistics]

Exactly what a true master of his craft. So many good tips- inspection of valve seats for fissures and the gasket fitment with deck height was gold. Thanks again Jake!

[@summitsvift]

I like when Darren says 'I ve seen many problems with that' on many occasions. Epic man

[@BrokenSilvia]

Could watch this all day

[@asianboyyy117]

BLESS DARREN

[@sixstringedthing]

Yes Squid, fuck yes mate! 👍 Darren sounds like he knows a thing or two, that RB motor in good hands. Gonna grab a coffee and settle in on the comfy chair to watch it in full.

[@DriftSquid]

Yieww enjoy it mate

[@DannySystem]

That's the correct way to hold a mic.. cool sample haha

[@michaelkarlson1074]

If it ain't broke don't fix it. Love that

[@DriftSquid]

Heck yea

[@summitsvift]

I had the same problem with std size ACL rod bearings but being too loose, I ve ordered Taiho rod bering and they were spot on.

[@DriftSquid]

Crazy this hey. Glad you got it sorted mate

[@jkrphotographs1087]

Not gonna lie. Was hoping to see another 2.7 but I’m sure this will rip no doubt!

That is in the shed mate 👌👌

Love this episodes! 💪🤘😊 You didn’t think about a stroker-kit? 🤪

Nah not for the sonny. This engine will be more than enough

[@hillhound523]

Darren needs a KZbin channel 🤙🤙🤙

[@adamjames2068]

No joke, if I could I would go work for Darren for free. Can't put a price on knowledge like that.

[@DriftSquid]

Very true mate. No one these days wants to learn though

[@summitsvift]

I have Tomei pump in mine RB30/RB26, so I guess thats good news

[@DriftSquid]

Yep tomei pumps are golden. You are in safe hands

[@tsdyno]

should do a line hone or line bore when installing main studs...

[@DriftSquid]

Old studs were put in mate 👌👌

[@tsdyno]

@@DriftSquid yeah i got that :) but was just saying that you shoulda done it when you were planning on the arps

[@spiritdrift6207]

This things gonna rip

[@michaelkarlson1074]

Yew!!

[@brendangrant5365]

Great video. Just wondering why you couldn't use the ARP studs for the mains when you went back to standard bearings? I'm in the process of rebuilding a RB25DET NEO for my AWD Stagea. I'm very green at building, your videos help alot.

[@brendangrant5365]

I think I answered my own question by watching the video again. Because the ARP studs might of pulled it down too much.

[@DriftSquid]

Yeah mate you should get it tunnel bored if changing to ARP mains also. I wouldnt do it unless you are doing that for sure to be honest.

[@brendangrant5365]

@@DriftSquid I kind of screwed up several times ordered the standard H ACL race bearings, but received the HX with extra 0.025 clearance. Fitted them without checking the part number. Then decided to check the clearance with plastic gauge. I got about 0.076 clearance. This was with ARP mains torqued to 60fp (ARP spec). So i'm thinking of ordering 0.025 oversized bearings. To knock the clearance down to around 0.026. My local engineer who decked it, bored it, tested most parts and fixed the head said to buy a Japanese brand rings, I bought NPR. I'm using standard pistons. One ring was too big. So I lost one ring, and broke another trying to get another off. Now I got to wait for genuine Nissan rings to turn up ;) Keep it up mate and thanks for replying!

[@nzuncovered1845]

@@brendangrant5365 Do you mean 0.0076? Because 0.076 is a huge clearance, that is 76 thou. It should be like 0.002 to 0.0026 or a bit over 2 thou clearance depending on your crank journal size?

[@brendangrant5365]

@@nzuncovered1845 Does 0.076mm sound better? In the end I used standard sized bearings and the bearing clearance was acceptable, even though 0.076 is less than the max value. The R33 GTR manual says standard main bearing clearance is 0.02 ~ 0.04mm. With a max value of 0.09mm.

[@Arnaud__P1]

Darren doesn’t use torque plate when he bores the cylinders?

[@DriftSquid]

Darren didnt do the bore and hone on this. I gotta be honest I have no idea what the footage was actually showing haha. But I do know he had a PrP billet piece there that he will Use to hone RB's on his new machine.

[@ryanlowe3588]

Hey brother is there anymore black and gold merch coming ?

Hey mate I think there is a little bit on the site right now.

Typical sparky, keep clean hands for his over priced coffee 🤣

[@kadengineering8983]

So keen to see the son live again. Music to my ears. Thanks to Lewis Engines for the info on the mahle pistons with the oil squirters. A mates rb25 build has mahle pistons and the squirters were all fkd up and wondered why 🤙

[@DriftSquid]

@@kadengineering8983 yeah I am hanging hey. Will be bloody rad. Well now you know hey. Crazy hey

[@kadengineering8983]

Maybe oil pressure to mains and big end is more important than under the piston... maybe a Q for Darren..? A forged piston can handle alot more than a stock piston so maybe over heating isn't a issue... Shed skid?
