White 'rine project

[RSi]

little update:


I noticed there is NO information on things like cam gear weight. It's not that important, but I just found it interesting NO company advertises weight to use for their sales pitch.

Stock cam gear VS. HKS cam gear:

HKS weight:

The red looks quite nice when done properly (high compression forged RB20DET project) -

Yeah you have to get high temp wrinkle paint.


I looked into red but too many Honda and SR20 boys do it so I passed.

Black turned out perfect; you just need patience.

Thanks, I found some VHT black wrinkle paint for hi temp jobs. Turned out awesome! Just did three coats then slowly heated the pieces with a blow torch (I didnt have access to an oven that I could fill with chemicals from paint curing). And yes, patience is key b/c this paint takes about 30+ hours to properly dry. I also painted the coilpack cover though. Hard to tell from the pics if you did the same, but it looks good regardless! Black is defiantly more classy than red. Hands down. The fittings you put on the covers for the oil lines look awesome too.

Attempted cam installation, but since I ordered the RB25 cams with 256, 8.5mm, I thought they would fit.


Exhaust cam is identical to RB20, however intake will have to be changed because the NVCS mounting is different from the typical 4 bolt cam gear mounting.

Now a good deal on RB25DET intake Tomei Poncam with 256 duration and 8.5mm lift is for sale. My loss is your gain.


I'm just gonna enjoy the holidays for now and not worry about the car.

Yeah all I did w/ these bungs were:


1. lightly sand the bung interface to a polish

2. freeze the aluminum piece at -15C for 6 hours.

3. Run engine to warm state

4. oil the aluminum bungs and push in with wooden handle of my hammer.


Popped right in then seized perfectly as the bung expanded from heat.

good points. I'll be sure not to force it as the idea of aluminum shavings in my oil is less than appealing.

It's not threaded. Tap it with a hammer to loosen it up, then just jimmy it back and forth, or whack it with a hammer to pop it out.. If you want to fit threaded fittings, 3/4npt fits, just need to tap it and screw them in.. Not sure what Mike did here but you can get a collet type AN fitting that slides in, or grind the threads off a -10 i think, that's about the right size.

Don't use hammer because you could crack your covers...

There's a member on here that sold these push in bungs for AN-10.

The problem with tapping into the covers would be there would be metal filings stuck inside cover and the baffles and could cause damage later if they decide to come out.


You can get the stockers out by putting a screwdriver through then twisting it out slowly.
