All-Motor (NA) Engine Build
basically a spin off of one of Kojima's NA motors but with alot of key modifications and block prep/mods to the bottom end and crank case to eliminate losses due to windage (oil cloud formation/turbulence).
some specifics:
DET head w/ sodium filled exh valves and mild port/debur job
C3 Cams
JWT springs and Ti Retainers
98 rocker arms
all slotted pucks (no flat shims)
RR HVLA's
CS Cam Gears
ARP Head Studs
OEM Nissan HG
Fully machined, cleaned and prepped DE Block to GTiR specs
360 degree main oiling
internally polished crank case and oil passages for oil shedding/windage reduction
All new Stainless Steel Freeze plugs
OEM VE oil pump kit
VE 4CW crank (Knife-edged, chamfer and polished)
Custom Crank Scraper
modified upper oil pan for windage reduction
Eagle Rods
SR16 Pistons
Custom Piston Oil Squirters (improved oil flow and positioning)
Calico coated ACL main, rod and thrust bearings
full OEM Nissan Gasket set used for assembly (all new seals/o-rings/gaskets)
Motul Assembly Lube
Permatex RTV for sealant
So thats about it...I may be forgetting some stuff...but the point of this thing is the attention to detail/prep/machine work and the windage and crank case improvements coupled with a solid valvetrain/cam setup and the higher compression of the proven sr16 pistons in a DE. I did a leakdown test on all 4 cylinders and passed w flying colors. One of the best Ive personally seen even on a new engine...
I expect with good injector choice, tune, light flywheel and manifold configuration it would easily make reliable power into the mid 200's with a nice well distributed and somewhat controllable curve (as opposed to a VE) and can be reved pretty well without having to go to hell and back to make the necessary power.
It was intended for a track car I was building where I didnt want to have to rev super high to make power to get out of turns, elevation changes, etc.
The first idiot fanboy that says "why not just buy a VE" deserves to be castrated
