    Just finished building my d16 and it spins with the same amount of effort, I’m glad it’s normal ,at first I thought it was too tight ,I guess I was just use to how it spun with broken in 100k bearings

    Hey Nick, do you know if the piston positions and the rods notches are the same for D16Y8 and do you know if the two notches have to be on the one site of the rods like at the video?

    • @NickSabella
      @NickSabella  Місяць тому +1

      Its still going! It smokes after idling sometimes, but not always. Pretty sure its the valve stem seals because its intermittent and never smokes under boost. Plus I never replaced the valve guides so there's probably a little play in the valves. I also had an issue with my boost controller earlier this year and blew the head gasket. Slapped a new one in and it's been fine ever since.

    I am building a d16 turbo vitara for my 24 hours of lemons car, and the piston to wall clearance worst case is 0.0059" before a mild hone which is needed for the new rings. I'm wondering if we just send it loose, or if we should spend the extra cash to bore it out, and get 75.5mm pistons?

    • @NickSabella

      @NickSabella  2 роки тому +1

      I just sent it with the tight clearance. I reused the cradle bolts but I used new rod bolts. I can’t remember the torque specs I used for the rods because it was in the instructions that came with them. I used 2 steps to 38 ft lbs for cradle

    I have a y7 im putting a turbo kit on and when i pulled the oil pan there was a bunch of copper flakes in the pan. The oil also had what looked to be aluminum flakes when you shine a light in it. The car doesn’t have any noticeable knock though. Only 100k on it everything is factory. Is there anything copper in the valve-train that it could be coming from?
