Camshafts, bearings and intake

Posted onLeave a comment

Here are the camshafts. Coatings for more slippery 🙂

Sadly, at the moment they’re the only engine bits I have. Rest of the stuff is at Martelius’

The bearings thing.

I spoke with a friend about conrods in general and also about symmetrical conrods, when I realized what the “always turn the engine to normal rotation direction” means. I’ve thought it had something to do with piston rings but oh boy was I wrong. It’s about bearings.

See the little notch there? The bearings should have a tang that goes into that notch. If the engine is turned “backwards”, the bearings could dislocate and jump off the notch, maybe resulting spun bearings.

Fuck I’m an idiot! I havent ever realized this before 😀

Second peek to the intake! Still much to do.

Coilpack, camshafts and one corroded valve

Here is the corroded exhaust camshaft getting polished

…and testfitting it

Brand new intake camshaft

Quick test with the coil on plug. This is one of those long Lexus COPs that are used in RX300. It fits but some fabrication is needed.

…and last, one of the three corroded valves. One might think that the corrosion would be on the exhaust valves, but for some reason it only affected intake valves.

HKS Speed Limit Defencer

Yay! Now I can put a HKS sticker on my car!

Widric bought a pile of crap some time ago and within the pile there was this little thingy. It is supposed to remove the 180km/h barrier from the japanese cars. As far as I know, this device should get between the gauge cluster and the ecu, hijacking the speed (SPD) signal.

The actual 180km/h barrier isnt that big problem to me, but what the hell, now I can get all the way to the 210km/h what the car is supposed to go 🙂

Serial number 33?? 😀

And this is how it looks from inside. Some logic chips and other junk. Really simple device and I wonder how it is even this complicated.

Easy to install too. Just connect black to negative, red to positive and white and yellow are the in and out for the speed signal.
