  1. This shows it pretty good. VG33 on left and middle, VG30 on the right.
  2. You don't have to do that. The engine will survive a couple of seconds when the oil filter is filling up.

  4. Punch a hole into the bottom of the oil filter before removing it and let it drain. This keeps from douching the starter in oil.
  5. There is probably a bad component in the ECM. The ECM is programmed to turn on the fuel pump for a few seconds when ignition is turned on. Then when there is a tach signal the ECM turns on the fuel pump. I would try swapping out the ECM. If you are in the Summit county area (Breckenridge) I have a spare ECM that you can try. Hit me up and we can figure out something.
  6. That is right, I found some 300ZX injectors on ebay for the Pathfinder. Been doing different cars through the years and don't remember exactly what I put where.
  7. You sure that the yellow top STI injectors aren't in there?
  8. Well it was good that the engine did not make oil pressure pushing all those broken bits through the engine (oil filter "should" catch it). Make sure that there is no damage to the crank "flats" that drive the oil pump. BTW is the damage of the driven gear in the flat area? I recommend that you disassemble your next oil pump (even if it is new) and get a good visual on everything.
  9. Ugh.. It is spelled Camaro
  10. So the turbo should be fine as long a the piston didn't blow apart. The heads should be good on the blown up engine, just clean out the oil passages really good.
  11. Thanks for posting. I was guessing #6 because it was the furthest from the oil pump. I kinda looks like the rod bolt failed, popped out, and the rest is history.
  12. Today with everybody and their brother putting DIY on youtube, there is a video on how to remove & replace anything.
  13. http://car-part.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi?userSearch=int&userPID=1000&userLocation=All+States&userIMS=&userInterchange=BBEBE&userSide=&userDate=1993&userDate2=1993&dbModel=54.27.1.1&userModel=Nissan%20Pathfinder&dbPart=444.1&userPart=Differential%20Assembly%20(see%20also%20Carrier)&sessionID=200000000000000001072589704&userPreference=price&userIntSelect=1434389&userUID=0&userBroker=&userPage=1&iKey=
  14. With an auto, you only need to move the engine forward around an inch. With a manual you need to move the engine forward about 6 inches. BTW when I was first experimenting with boost levels I broke a couple of ring lands when I turned up the boost to 18 psi. I found a rebuild engine in Vail and purchased it. That is why the engine is so clean.
  15. With every oil change some oil pours over the starter/solenoid and eventually the oil gets inside. I removed my starter when I had a similar issue and took it apart. Sure enough the innards were covered in oil.
  16. BTW good call on adding the 10 mm exhaust studs. It was tough to get to the intercooler hoses, hopefully you don't have to remove them. You'll need to remove the tranny/transfer case first and then remove the engine. The engine doesn't move forward because of the front differential (and that is a pain to remove).
  17. Looks like you have been busy and you're doing a good job. I put about 10k miles also on the ebay turbo so there is a total of 20k miles on it. Honesty for running 12 psi of boost it is doing fine. I got 60k miles on a Subie engine running 22 psi of boost with an ebay turbo (20g flavor). A factory non turbo oil pump should be plenty for you setup. There are no oil squirter in the non-turbo block and the turbo doesn't require that much oil. Photos from 5 years ago Try to find a more stout clutch/pressure plate. The stock replacement did not cut the mustard at 12 psi of boost and in high gear.
  18. Let me guess - you really like the vg33 engine. Anyway I am going to drag the boat and camping gear for 4 hours this weekend. We will see what happens.
  19. So if this engine goes - I will be looking into a forged piston rebuild. Hopefully at a much later date.
  20. I added the boost controller and went into no-man's land - 17 psi. Bad part is the clutch starts to slip in 4th gear at that boost level. So I'll just run 11 psi for now.
