Project F

Yes project F it is called. F for focus. Not like focus in Ford.. no,no. Focus like : I like to focus. And I need to focus on this CA18, cause I have never done this before. So I need to focus. Also F for Freddie. At this stage I have to say thank you to a few members. They are Draco, Toby,Vlade,Desertrat and VeeCee. They all aware of this effort of mine in the rebuild coming up. They all assisted already mentally and phisically.
VC for the engine stand. Thanks. By mentioning names, I am looking for trouble, but thank you all sharing this with me.
Now that we have the emotions side of it done, I need to focus.
Ah ha- @ VC, I have lots and lots of piccies!!! 😀 They will follow soon. I notice my photobucket is in maintenance. Hope to be ready soon.
Stock as it is now, will it be. I will how ever follow Phinx fitting a t28 exhaust housing. Oh yes the pistons are std 1 mm oversized. Why, because Draco has done that. 🙄 😂 😂

Cant wait to see it, hope it works for you.

F can stand for a lot of stuff... 😮

We make it Project Freddy 😀

I knew I am going to expect some of these comments out of the members 😀 😀 😀 . Great, Project Freddie it can be. At least we got the attention now. :200sx_200sx:

hey femmecool (hehehe - project F for femmecool!!!) (maybe cos you have gay sx stripes!!!)

aaaaannnnnnyyyyyywwwwwwwwwaaaaaaayyyyyyyy...

speak to n1smo200sx (mike) i saw a very very sexy little turbo lying at his place that will make your sx run nicely. bolts onto standard manifold. used but remanufactured as far as i remember and it was not expensive at all!!!

give him a call - you may find yourself in possession of something quite nice!

I stand to be corrected but that was a ceramic ball bearing turbo right?

I was interested but the AR was very small, remember an RB has two of those

What AR is it??

the exhaust housing looked very similar to our standard t25s'!

I think .48 or something that is the same as a T25

One can use that core with a T28 then you got a GT28 😀

Good luck Freddie!! Just holler if you need any assistance 🙂

Here is a starter piccie so long. Vlade is helping me to upload the others.
The engine block on VC's engine stand.Bored 1mm oversized. I painted the block with high heat aliminium, but seems it will not last long. Well ok, as long as it looks cool while I am building it. Wait until you have seen my baby blue painted oil pan 😮 😮

Oh yes, May be I am the first dude to start a rebuild from the top and not from the bottom?? 8) 8) 😂

Bypassed the stock fpr. Will fit other fpr in engine bay, just for the hell of it. Who knows when I want to upgrade on injectors 🙄 🙄
Any comments on my RED pipe work?? Be careful 😉

Cool. Chicks must like you. 😂 😂 😂 😀 😀 🙂

so where did you plumb the FPR regulator into the fuel lines???

He got a AM FPR going against the firewall or something

but he kept the original hard fuel lines that run through the inlet runners.

i put my AMFPR next to the brake booster on the firewall and i go straight from the outlet there into the fuel rail.

its just more efficient that way. and i could throw off a little extra weight!!!

@Woohaa - yip, you know I love girls, and not this gay stuff of VC 😂
Yes FPR will go against f/wall or something.
So, some little feedback since Saturday morning. It was not a good start. And my face was down the whole weekend: NISSAN supplied the correct ring set OS 1mm, but the pistons are 0.5mm OS. So, Barend could not fit the pistons. So this morning it was me and Nissan. They admit fault on their side. All part numbers are correct, but the OS pistons on their catologue is wrong?? And they can prove it to me!!! 😮 🙄 Then I tried stock on 0.5 ring set, and you guess what---- nada, nothing,,,, need to be imported. So, we are trying to source AM ringset 0.5 OS and not importing from Nissan. No way. Cant wait another year for parts. 🙄

that totally sucks man. no jokes from me this time!

go get arias pistons. they cost the same and will be here in a week. the set includes rings. i paid R3800.00 for pistons and rings!

you will need some custom bushes set into the small ends, because the piston gudgeon pins are a larger diameter... but any engineer can do that for you.

pm me for more details if you want to go this route. you could begin building again in two weeks time. who knows, they might even have them on the shelf.

good luck!
VC

He just need rings then he is sorted... 😀 Pistons is brand new 0.5mm Nissan ones, they look the shiz

Our gathering at Freddy's house last Saturday, building the engine

Heard Freddy got rings already so we should be sorted this Saturday... and avoid crap like this...
