I has shortblock swap
(8) Qts. of Advance Auto Dino 5w-30
(5) Qts. Castrol GTX 5w-30 (2) Oil fitlers (10) Cans of brake cleaner (1) Tube of Ultra Black Saturday will be Legendary. <---That's better than epic. |
It puts a new engine in the hole?
|
si. the motor is not the epic part (in fact it's weaksauce), just the task we have at hand this weekend.
|
What's your motor build?
|
coated stock pistons and chromo moly rings....
|
|
I bet you can swap a motor pretty quickly now.
|
no rods for whatever reason.

Stock. eBay special. Yes, there will be some bolts. http://www.boostedmiata.com/engine_work/rebuild_kit.jpg Picture above are my high end components. I really dipped into my wallet and even purchased a $20 timing belt kit instead of reusing the current one like I wanted to. I even decided to drop another $20 on a water pump, cause I'm baller like that. And the best part of of the entire build are my $70 chromo moly rings that I really splurged on. jesus, look at this thing....can you believe it cost $20. You know you're jealous: http://boostedmiata.com/engine_work/water_pump.jpg http://boostedmiata.com/engine_work/water_pump1.jpg haters will be haters. |
what's wrong with your motor now?
|
You have as much $ in your break in and good oil and filters than you have in your rebuild !:laugh:
|
since the last dyno day in may it's been spitting oil, burning oil and smoking on decel. It still makes good compression and runs great around town. I've replaced the turbo and did my steam seals and it's just getting worse now smoking on heavy acceleration. I did about 5-6 autoxes and each time someone would mention a puff of blue smoke, i ignored it, by the 6th event the amount of people mentioning it and the announcer making fun of me, i decided it's time to do something.
when I looked at my dyno from that event and the videos it's evident something happened on my first pull. With my rear end being damaged the way it was it took my nearly 10 seconds longer to reach redline in 4th, my torque was crazy low, yet i still made 230rwhp. I have a feeling all the load from the dyno and bad rear made my pistons work overtime and must have damaged the rings or something.

still, what's going to be fun about this weekend is more about this game plan: Order of operations
|
Okee dokee. Well at least the bosses in the waterpump are threaded. I've seen 1.6 pumps come from Mazda where you had to tap them yourself.
I think I might have just swapped shortblocks. |
i am, but im freshing it up in the process, im not going to be using current block, im going to use neo's once we swap his built motor in first.
|
Yeah I meant swapping in a good, unmolested block.
It would drive me nuts to not replace the rods and wear parts. |
yeah. it is. dont rub it in.
|
hopefully that water pump dont sound like a supercharger :)
|
it already does:
I always thought maybe my timing belt was too tight or something, ive just been blaming my tranny for the last three years. |
^ that was mad tyte jdm.
Good luck, you have your work cut out for you! |

Good shit
|
Nice man. Your turn around time for anything is incredible.
|
I just ended up swapping in his shortblock and bolt good things around it. didnt have enough time to pull out the pistons and swap them. it works, runs strong, so whatever. Im beat from pulling and swapping two motors in one weekend.

here's some shots of Neo's pull:

I'll have logs in a bit, but before I swapped the block I wasn't happy with teh setup. Some of you might remember me even considering a t25 setup. I guess as my block got progressive worse, i got less and less happy. Last log the weekend before the swap I was hitting 12.5psi with an EBC fully closed at 4100RPM. Yesterday I was logging 14.5psi at 3500RPM, MBC only.
I can't believe the transformation the block made. It's funny, before I pulled it, it still made 170psi across the board. But it was obvious from the blow-by and consumption that something was up. Hell, I only drained 3/4qt of oil from the block before swapping...it had just gotten an oil change the month prior and was barely driven. anyways, discovered the ebay turbo im using has a stainless chra, thats cool too. http://www.boostedmiata.com/gallery2...serialNumber=2 |
Comparison logs...
Here's what I logged yesterday; flat road 4th gear: http://www.boostedmiata.com/gallery2...serialNumber=1 and here's the last log in Aug I took before I pretty much parked the car waiting to do the swap: http://www.boostedmiata.com/gallery2...serialNumber=1 same street, same gearing, same setup. |
We are so win!

Nice work guys!
I have a tip for anyone else who has the same engine load leveler (I have it too). http://gallery.y8s.com/d/21604-2/scott_004-rsz.JPG You can unbolt the chain from the leveler and loop the chain through the factory lift rings, then put the bolt on the leveler through two loops of the chain. This allows the leveler to stay closer to the engine block, which means you don't have to jack your cherry picker up as high. It makes it a lot easier when pulling an engine out by yourself. |
Yah, I do the same thing with my level. Or... find lower points and use all 4points of the leveler to nicely balance it straight on.
Bah.. hard to see really... but it does make a solo job alot simpler. http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/m...d/DSCF0190.jpg |
we have no issues with it at that level.
I've done it various ways: http://www.boostedmiata.com/gallery2...serialNumber=1 |
God damm, i wish i had a load leveler for the past 3 motors :(
