That's not what I said. In fact, I stated the opposite. Re-read that again, my friend. ;)

I was beeing sarcastic translating a joke from a language to another most of the times fails :)


They don't change your static compression. that's the quench pads of the GS-R vs. the B16 head.

Interesting. Oil feed from the back of the head. For that size turbo that works. But not for the bigger ones.

Actually id like some evaluation of this point for turbo oil feed.Whats your thoughts?
The idea of suplying the turbo with oil from there seemed fine im my mind, but
in life small number of times you are correct.Even smaller number of times you know you are wrong :)

Well, really, this is not as uncommon as one would think, but in the Honda world, where usually larger turbos are being used for the same application that require a more "standard" location, what you have right now really isn't bad. If it were any other non-OEM turbocharger I would feel differently, but in this case, it can work.

If I were to say really anything of merit, my only concern particularly, is the material of the line itself. Unlike the oil return line, the oil feed line is subjected to a lot more chances of it being destroyed due to its proximity to so many hot items that could cause problems (e.g. oil leak, fire, smoke, damage to the turbo, etc). At minimum I would put a thermal sleeve around the entire length of the oil feed line. Optimally, a nice, steel braided oil feed line with a thermal sleeve is optimal.

Thats fair.The hose is hydralic controll hose or what ever its called.63 psi working pressure(230 burst) and working temperature -40 to 100 celsius.Oil temperature
gets higher than 100 for sure some times but ifrom other boosted b-series data i have is like most of them hit 210-250F or 100-120 Celsius max.
But im thinking of these temp protection sleeves.Ill probably get one for the part of the hose its from the turbo all the way to were the downpipe ends.

I'd also check to see what actual oil pressure that the oil line is seeing and research whether or not that particular location could cause oil starvation to the cylinder head itself; this is crucial because although the cylinder head technically doesn't have bearings within the caps themselves, there are oil orifices that help the camshaft stay lubricated over time, which is important in cold starts, and higher rpm driving. The B-series was designed to protect the head and bearings first, everything else is a sacrifice. I would just hate to see the cylinder head have damage on it simply because the source you used, drew too much oil away from the head into the turbocharger. After all , that is a large piece of hose you have there. Much larger than what that turbocharger would require.
Im thinking of trying to measure pressure buti dont know if there is a difference between measuring presure from a hole thats just blocked with a bolt
and measuring presure when oil flows through.Because it would not be wise to measure with the engine running with the turbo without having oil.So ill have to "pass through" measure oil pressure.The turbo has a build in resrtictor of, if i measured correct, 1-1,2mm.Using online calcs at lets say 6 bar the flow is ~ 2litres per minute make it 3 lpm to be super safe, an oem oil pump at 600 rpm flows 5.5 lpm , at 5000 rpm 32 lpm.The average b series with some miles on it hits 6 bar close 8000rpm.The oem pump at 8000 rpm should flow at least 40lmp, so the turbo steals like less than 10% flow.
Im considering the stolen flow ok.At least it looks ok im my mind.Lets hope im correct.
That's really it, I guess.. :shrug:

I was speaking about injectors cause one of them looks without black on the start of the tip. The first spark plug on the photos.

Since im thinking about forging the engine, ill get valve spring retainers too. Will this valve springs work for turbo with 9-9500 redline?
Cams will be ITR max.Probably GSR since my TD05 has airflow of like 360-400 hp

Item Specifications & Spring Pressure:
Seat: 1.350" @ 80 lbs / Open: 0.900" @ 220 lbs / Coil Bind: 0.765"

Its brian crower.I found a kit with steel retainers on ebay.

Yeah somehow me neither.But again you can only be sure with ferrea but this engine wont break the bank haha.
What about the 80lbs tho? Strangely enough its about "preference" ( :crook: ) Some run 80lbs some run 85 lbs some run 90lbs.
If i can rev that GSR/ITR cams to like 9300 with the 80lbs cams id take em over the highest wear 85 or 90lbs springs.
