Engine removal

Thanks myhui, I really have thought about NA before I decided turbo. I know NA would be awesome. I would try 13:1 with e85 or race gas but I know I would miss boost. Its too late to run NA now though. I just send the block out for sleeves. If I would have kept it NA I would just run stock sleeves and rods.
cleaned up the IM today. The butterfly plate is out! Now I am waiting for the SOS big bore TB.
Plan for tomorrow, clean up the oil pump and maybe port/ grind a washer down for a shim.
Are you going to tune the ECU on an engine dyno?
Which ECU and intercooler do you plan to use?

I dont know what other option for aftermarket ems besides aem. So I am going to be running aem ems. The plan is to break it in on the dyno. I will be running an a/w intercooler.
For fuel I will most likely run c16 or q16.
I wonder how hard is it to weld magnesium? I want to weld AN bungs to the valve covers for a catch can...

Cleaned the fuel rails.
Cleaned the oil cooler but not done yet. Just got all the oil + gunk off. Plan for tomorrow is to clean up the mount.
Took the oil pump apart, cleaned it and took out the gears. Waiting for billet gears.
Rear main seal cleaned.
Bye bye stock injectors. ID2000 maybe? =)

Next step might be to do Extrude Hone for some of your parts.
Just send the parts to them here: http://www.gethoned.com/auto.php
Everything comes back super-smooth.
They only seem to do parts that carry either intake or exhaust air. But in the past people have used that process for oil passages, like those inside the crankshaft or inside the block. Lexus does it for oil passages now in some of their production cars.

wow, never heard of that. I might have to send them my intake manifold.
The parts you've cleaned up look AWESOME! Bravo and thanks for showing us your step-by-step progress.
Yeah I almost feel bad now for thinking he was crazy when first asking how to remove the engine. :biggrin:
o-ring in place and then oiled slightly
Cleaned the mounting bracket but didnt bother cleaning it super clean.
Placed back on the cooler
Bolt torqued back to 36 ftlb

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO WELD MAGNESIUM! You will end up with an extremely dangerous/hot magnesium fire that cannot be put out with water or chemical extinguishers.
Ok, cool.Thought something bad had happened.
Not yet.:biggrin::biggrin:
That sucks I guess I have to use washer/nut in the back if theres room.
Crank in perfect condition now! Polished right out!
And it'll easily just get fix:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:
Comments about welding magnesium are wrong. I've been welding it for years, any good weld shop skilled in aluminum TIG welding should be able to do it if they have the correct filler rod. Welds just like aluminum, but you have to control heat a little more carefully as it goes liquid and sags or drops more quickly. Inert gas shield keeps fire away. Welding the holes in the manifold should be no big deal at all.
If you are a professional welder then yes it can be welded under controlled conditions. If you are a DIY'er as this forum implies it is dangerous to attempt to weld magnesium. Attempting to put out a magnesium fire with water is like throwing gasoline on a campfire. Don't want to see any fellow NSX'ers injured.
Thanks guys, I was never planning on welding it myself. I wanted to have a professional shop do it. Thanks for watching out for a fellow primer.
I've been lurking and following your progress gsrboy and I wated to poke my head out to let you know that I am very impressed with your skills. Perhaps one day my motor will need a rebuild but with over 254,000 miles on her and still falling well within factory specs for compression etc., I think that time might coincide with the next Ice Age!
Rock On my friend.......
