Some of you may know that i blew up my engine a while back. for those who didnt knoe, well you know now!

not long after i increased the boost and made awesome power, the engine let go. High revs in 2nd gear and i blew number 4 and 6 piston bringing the car to a complete stop. I managed to get the car started after a while and got it home as i was less than 1km from my house. the car seemed to clear itself and i thought it was a massive oil serge that caused the problem, i then pulled the front spark plugs out to find 2 smashed. I replaced them with some good ones lying around, sprayed a can of carby cleaner into the intake while the car was running and the car ran fine, just a little down on power.
Knowing there was something wrong i did a compression test to find i had 80psi in no.4 and 170 psi in no.6 while the other 4 were all at 200psi so off came the heads! Ripped the heads off to find i had cracked 2 piston crowns off, was expecting it and glad it wasnt a bent rod. The biggest suprise was there was no damage to the bore or to any valves for that matter so i was lucky.
The engine has almost been totally stripped down to a bare block. I have sent one complete piston and conrod assembly to a company in melbourne so a set of 6 forged pistons can be made. They should be done in 2-3 weeks from now. As soon as they are back the rebuild can begin.
I got the heads back today after they initially were sent away for a service, then a port job, then a throat out, and finally bigger exhaust valves were fitted to get maximum performance out of them. Standard Ralliart cams and valve springs remain.
Other modifications that will happen while the car is apart are 500cc Delphia injectors, oil catch can, rising rate FPR, stand alone ecu and water/meth injection. I will call sprintex next week and see what their thoughts are on pissing off the 7th injector all together and using that injector hole for water injection.

I have plenty of pictures attached of the dead pistons, empty block and the newly ported heads. As i get more parts in i will take more pics to show you all as complete tear downs and rebuilds happen rarly in garages. I might add up the costs as well, but that might be a little scary :D

look forward to watching this jase... defs cant wait tilll i get to do my own rebuild.

Also + 1 vote for pissing off the 7th injector even if there isnt water injector... imo its a ****ty bandaid solution. But i think you might be doing this anyway as per new ecu and big injectors.

Are you upping compression or leaving as it??

i dragged off a commo with 2 broken pistons in mine :P yay me lol

btw, magnas still go on 3 cyl 1,3 & 5 (the rear bank) lol i know.... i drove some distance like that :|

those are big looking valves you have there!

retaining the 9.4:1 compression. Was going to drop it but seeing im not going to increase the boost past 10.5psi there is no need to lower it. With all the headwork it may increase the boost as its all running a lot more efficent

nope it works the other way... the ve of the engine will be much better, and with less restriction.....
you may fing boost drops to 9.5 psi for example (whilst still producing more power)

With all the headwork it may increase the boost as its all running a lot more efficent

It's not a turbo dude.

Good luck with it all anyway. Will be awesome to see how much power a properly prepped s/c'd magna engine will produce. Depending on how efficient the blower is - it should be good for at least 350HP I would guess.

Good stuff Jase, thanks for sharing. A question for you:

It seems odd you are going to considerable trouble/cost with a full rebuild including headwork, yet you aren't gonna drop a cam in while you're at it? Or are there very minimal gains to be in a cam swap for your setup?

i dont think its worth it. The ralliart cams give good enough lift and im not chasing 400kw atw's, mind you 250+ is the plan. It was going to be more cost and i couldnt justify it as this build will be costing a lot as it is


:stoopid:

shut up you! you can't talk because you quit when it all got too hard.

P.S, yes i want to lol

I can't wait to see this thing at WSID. It will be absolute animal and will certainly surprise a few.

Might need to look at (another) brake upgrade if you want to take it to Wakefield...

lookin good jase. Who did you source the larger exhaust valves through?

mate i dont know. all the head guy said was they were out of a V8, dont know what type. They had to be cut to size and machined to seal properly so not an off the shelf item. mind you, the valves including all that machining BS was only an extra 300 bucks

Get some R-comps, polish your driving, and go do 1:10s around Wakefield.

Stop mucking about and get on with it Jase :p

Its funny though jase as the brand new heads for my new engine after all the porting etc now flow with a inlet/exhaust %ratio of 78.75% with standard sized valves (a ratio of better then 75% is ideal). Its good to see different peoples ideas still come out with similar results. :) I must say though that its a bit easier for you as your forced induction whereas im NA but the basic ideas are still the same.

Oh and incase any of you are wondering, the person who helped me with the ideas (as well as letting me use his flow tester) on the porting/flowing of my heads is a well known world series sprintcar engine builder here in SA, plus i also used what i learnt from my previous head porting trials.

The valve size to combustion chamber ratio is nearly ideal with our 4valve V6 heads but as has been proven there is much to be gained from porting them in the correct places but they can also be stuffed up really quickly by taking off too much alloy in places as well, especially if people try to use porting ideas from old cast iron 2valve V8 heads.

When we CC'd my new head castings we found nearly a 3cc difference in volume between the stock factory combustion chambers! :shock: So a lot of work had to be done on the chambers to get them all the same. In the end im pretty pleased with the results and i must say they have come out much better than my last set.

All i have to do now is finish the rest of the bottom end and then put it all together. lol

Just out of curiosity what rods you going to run? Mine are are from a company called blue something, they are forged items to.

Just out of curiosity what rods you going to run? Mine are are from a company called blue something, they are forged items to.

I was going to use a brand new set of stock rods (which i got from EZboy) that i have had ARP rod bolts fitted and been resized and shotpeened (with those mods ive been told the rods are then strong enough for around 500hp engine)

BUT ive now decided to use the new steel crank and forged rods that i was given as part payment for my old high output engine, just because there sitting in my shed and i have no intentions of selling them so i may as well use them. lol
In reality its probably a waste to use them in a NA motor but then some would say modding a magna is a waste too. :shock:

lol

The plan is to set the revlimiter around 7500rpm due to the grind of the cams anyway.

Well if it's anything like your old engine, it should be making usable power throught the rev range.

well i just read on another forum the benchmark for me to win the dyno comp at autosalon. A civic pulled 248kw atw's at the brissy AS on the weekend, thats the highest all year from all the shows. Fingers crossed this build will give me that and higher

Mate you'll get there easily. I reckon you'll make 250kW at the rollers without even breaking a sweat, if the work that's going into the motor is anything to go by. 10 pounds + 9.4:1 + bigger valves and a tough bottom end will be bulletproof.

P.S. What ECU are you looking at?

Microtech. Very good mate of mine works at a shop that they specialise in them. All they company cars are running them and their new drag car just got one as well, plus i get mates rates woohoo!

Its good that you're going for the bigger injectors. About time u pissed off that excuse called a 7th injector :P. The only thing I find a little odd, is that you've upgraded the size of the exhaust valves but not the intake though. I can understand the logic, to get more gases out, but wouldnt it of also been worth going for larger intake valves at the same time?

Apparently the 7th injector was not there for extra fuelling (as it was found the standard injectors were only around 65% duty cycle), but as a means to cool the intake charge while proving extra sealing for the charger. With the valve sizing, I'm guessing the theory is that with the charger the motor has no problem filling the chambers, but the larger exhaust valves allow the motor so expel the spent mixtures easier (less work).:P

pretty much spot on..... but also when the intake temps were high (hot days) the 7th would richen up the afr's proably the reason why no one cracked any pistons on std tune (except the dude who's ecu failed)

then as soon as we re tuned them BANG sprintex was tuned to run rich over 4000rpm deliberatley min 13:1 and when mine was retuned it was set at 14:7 or what ever it is all the way from idle to cut...


bahhh who cares now.... im going to wait and see what happens... and if i keep my magna i might get a raptor for it if they sound cool lol

I'm guessing the theory is that with the charger the motor has no problem filling the chambers, but the larger exhaust valves allow the motor so expel the spent mixtures easier (less work).:P

Also that there is a lot more gas coming out than going in, due to the chemical combustion.

Might not smaller be better though due to the higher flow rate?

cant wait to see this baby completed
ive been in this thing when he jsut got the blower and when he did mild work to it and ***** myself
can just imagine my reaction when its rebuilt :O
keep up the good work Jase and remember Mynes Pimp yours is race ;) maccas castle hill you know what im talking about lol

he could take a heap of material out of the intake side without needed new valves. On the exhaust side he couldnt get as much so needed the bigger valves to compensate

Before you had it ported and polished, did you have a black ring of carbon on the outside of your exhaust ports? If you did, is this where he took them out to?

Ah that would do it they aye....sounds like she'll be a ripper once finished

Forged pistons are finished, packed and will be posted 1st thing next week so the build will begin next wknd. will have pics of the pistons as soon as they arrive

Hows your hunt for injectors going?

Just split the fuel lines and jam them straight in, that oughta do it.. ;)

Hows your hunt for injectors going?
I've got my tuner onto it. He said he should have some info mid week so i'll call him then. bit disappointing as the 1st place i emailed said they had injectors they would fit at a great price but now have to pay the magna tax and get 11mm injectors unlike the norm which are 14mm. Bloody magna's hahaha

On another note, got some more goodies yesterday. Picked up a GReddy oil catch can and a full set of new gauges to keep an eye on the vitals

Could you modify the fuel rails and manifold to get the 14mm injectors to fit?

Could you modify the fuel rails and manifold to get the 14mm injectors to fit?
mate you can do anything! to modify the fuel rail and use 14mm injectors would work out to be the same or more than just using 11mm injectors. There is also not enough material in the rail to machine it out to 14mm. We'll just play it by year and see what tweakit can come up with

Check out the siemens catalogue as we use siemens injectors.

The forged pistons arrived today. :D

2 week turn around from when i paid my deposit to them being finished. They are still a 9.4:1 compression piston and almost identical to the original. Differences are they have lowered the top ring 1-2mm to give the crown more meat between the combustion surface and the ring. The standard piston had 5 small holes to get access to the oil ring, now there are 4 larger holes that also slightly extend to the outside of the piston, i'm guessing to give the oil a bit of a valley to run through. On the under side the pictures speak for themselves. You can clearly see how much more material there is holding the conrod pin in.

Now i've got the heads and the pistons finished, I will start putting the engine back together this weekend. I'll get my new gaskets and bearings later in the week so in the mean time i'll get the block all cleaned up and ready for re-assembly

Jase

Get that thing turning and burning ASAP. You know we're all hanging on this... lol

You and me both!!

Also noticed another thing after i unpacked everything. These pistons now have 3 rings and an oil ring compared to the usual 2 rings and an oil ring. Interesting

Maybe the machinist put an additional ring in to give you a bit of extra security on the FI front?

Just waiting on conrod bearings! They were supposed to arrive today but looks like it'll be monday then the build can happen.

I've learnt how to be patient, thats for sure!

Hey jase, my CP forged pistons have 3 compression rings and the oil ring.
Reason for that is that with forged pistons you cant run as tight a piston to bore clearance (thats why cars with forged pistons can have a bit of piston slap when cold idling) like you can with the cast pistons, so to make sure they seal properly most forged piston companies will add an extra compression ring.

What? has it been 3 weeks?? You ain't seen nothing mate....... I might as well only have "time share" on my car.

lol My car has been engineless since march, mainly due to me not having time to work on it and i really cant be stuffed working on it when i do get some "spare" time.

Looking awesome, mate. This rebuild is going fast!

hahaha looks awesome, take your time and do it right no need to rush now, your pretty close

dont want any mishaps due to impatience, like me, i'd have proably started it already....

did i mention magnas start with no manifold? just dont run! lol ohh and only on 3 cyl too :bowrofl:

get an engine oil cooler ;)

ohh and quick some massive s/c grind cams before you tighten the bolts!! ;)


done much more investigation into an intercooler yet? it can be done if you have awesome machining skills and a cople of inches under bonnet clearance

you're a twat!

definatly getting an oil cooler installed, along with an alloy intake pipe for a bit of show/noise. negitive on the intercooler but still want to get water/meth injection but it looks like i'll have to relocate my battery to the boot

Thems some nice shiny pistons you got there. Doesn't look to me like it'll be ready by this weekend, but then again I'm used to mechanics who work on Qld time. Any luck sourcing larger injectors yet?

that looks pwetty :D

coming along nicely Jase.

injector wise, i have found out that Mazda RX7 series 4 and earlier came out with low impedence high flow injectors with a 12 mm O-ring. If we go down this path all i will need to do is drill out (or machine out if that sounds less harsh) the fuel rail to suit a 12 mm injector which is only 1mm bigger than whats in there at the moment

Re torqued heads as they had to come off again last night, water jacket side had the welsh plug in so i went back to the head place this morning and he swapped the cams over and sorted that issue. Both heads are identical, learn something new everyday!
Torqued conrod bolts up
Tappet covers on
Fuel rail on with injectors in
Water jacket installed, now that was a pain in the date!
Supercharger mount re installed.

Tomorrow night will see the sump back on as im waiting on the gasket for the oil pick up, total cost of 80 cents there! once thats on we will kick it over on the starter motor with no plugs in to set the rings. Plugs in, s/c on, wire up and kick it in the guts!!!

I wish my heads went on that easy and that quickly.
hello 220fwkw :P

no mucking around there man, good effort

its an easy job putting the top of the s/c setup back on wont take long at all...

now get retuned and burn some rubber

also how much heavier are the forged pistons each???

Hey Jase,

All ya got to hope for now is that it doesnt do in the main bearings as they are the only "old" parts left in the bottom end, seeing as you didnt do a crank out rebuild of the engine.

also how much heavier are the forged pistons each???

Andrewd, i can tell you that my CP forged pistons are about 200grams heavier than ACL cast pistons, so i guess jases forged pistons would be similar.

since when were we the mob

though now that i think about it we could become a pretty big gang to be reconed with

tonights progress was a little less than expected. Didnt get the cam seals which is a bummer but might be able to source them tomorrow. got the crank cover, oil pick up, sump and oil pan installed; starter motor on and wired up; front and back exhaust manifolds on and thats about it. I've had enough for one night got a nice headache from my head sitting on the concrete floor all night. Tomorrow i want to get all the timing belt exposed to prepare to set it all up and thats all i can do till i get the cam seals.

good times

yeh i recon so too haha team MagNutz :P

Wow! Loving the effort being put in, I can see you want her up and running sooner rather than later. :p

Nice to see shiney parts aswell. Can't wait to see the results of your hard work.

Just an idea; get some old car seats to put in garage/shed to save you from sitting on the concrete floor. I have my old exec seats in my shed, they're a life saver some nights when im just doing little tedious bits.

This is going to be a beast when its finished :D :D

Is it going to be ready for autosalon Final battle jase? I want to experience this thing on a dyno in real life lol

you dont want to install the supercharger backwards so it sucks not blows :bowrofl: :bowrofl: :bowrofl:

No no, don't sleep, just go buy some speed and get back into it you *****!

and the rebuild is complete!!! just clocked up 20 kms in it and besides a bit of an exhaust leak she's all good!!! much deeper meaner exhaust note which is due to the new valves and head work. Give me a couple of weeks and i'll be tuned with numbers to show.

WHAT A ****ING RELIEF

Congrats mate, Well done!
Hope you get some serious numbers lol

he doesn't have to run it. it'll be interesting in March!! woot.

and the rebuild is complete!!! just clocked up 20 kms in it and besides a bit of an exhaust leak she's all good!!! much deeper meaner exhaust note which is due to the new valves and head work. Give me a couple of weeks and i'll be tuned with numbers to show.

WHAT A ****ING RELIEF

yeah bro 1st rebuild! i now have a pretty good understanding of how these things go together, just hope i never have to do it again

I have the final pictures from the rebuild. Just under 2 months from the moment it went bang to getting it back on the road. Pretty happy and very relieved thats for sure.

Just got home from my mates zorst shop, had 2 leaking gaskets either side of the cat so not a biggy and you have to love mates rates! looks like a chrome spagetti mess under there! Car has a much different not now when into the throttle and i can only assume thats from the oversized valves and head work that went on

Please excuse the ****ty HP 18's on there, they are off my mates hilux as he borrowed my 20's for toyofest and i should have them back tomorrow.

Next on the hit list will be to get a stainless intake pipe. Reason for this mod is to easily weld in a port for the water/meth injection in the future and to get rid of the sharp bend into the throttle. While thats happening i'll get an oil cooler installed to keeps temps at check so there is less chance of damage next time im at wakefield park

Don't excuse the 18's man, they look hot!

Should be interesting to see what it pulls when its tuned!

IMHO 18's are far better than 20's which are heavy dont handle rough blah............!

lol

in all seriousness though, with the massive under bonnet temps due to the s/c and now even more so with extra boooooost, you think it's wise switching to a Metal inlet tube over plastic? might be fine for the 1st 10 min then when the heatsoak sets in...

Perhaps some evo style bonnet vents might help? Even with the plastic inlet piping, I'd be a little worried about the radiator when jase goes to wakefield...

Maybe some carbon fiber naca ducts. Ala GTR.

I wouldn't be using a metal intake pipe man. Car manufacturers design them as plastic for a reason - it doesn't conduct heat. Metal will conduct it, hold it and make your intake temps go through the roof. I'd be seriously looking at some bonnet vents like others have said.

Hey Jase,
Noticed in this pic your top radiator hose is squished flat. Its either twisted or there is a negative pressure in the system, it would be restricting flow mate.
