Looking good man

 

iirc the chambers were CNC 'dto match the bores and part of the mod, then finished by hand...the port is all by hand.

 

Any updates It'll soon be 2012

 

Shouldn't that read 2014

 

You two should be on stage...preferably in stocks so I can throw rotten fruit at you

Funnily enough I spoke to a very nice lady today and hope to have some ECU info in the next few days

 

Bout bloody time

How do you 'friend' rotten fruit?

 

FAIL

Now corrected, thanks Trev

 

 

just had to post quickly; spoken to Mo from SMG\Roland Alsop twice today and I feel very lucky to have him\them building my engine...filled with such confidence which makes a blimming nice change; thanks Mo

 

Any pics Ian?

You will be running standard location turbo or something special too


Jura

 

not yet Jura...will slap some up once I get some though

depends on what’s available in the spring\early summer next year as far as standard position turbos go...will keep the 18g initially so I don't stick it in a ditch and then decide at the time. Love the idea of a rotated 30R but not sure I can justify the additional expense at present and there is always twin scroll to consider; imagine a classic with a twin scroll blower on a 2.35 running 500\500 will be mental on the road

 

Agreed too much turbos out there and Twin scroll turbo with 500/500 on 2.35L with AVCS bloody hell,almost instant power,i would like something similar and we are looking for GT30.63A/R which hopefully replace our turbo,because is too big for 2.1,this turbo better will perform on 2.35 or 2.5.

As you are said use yours 18G,which will be great to drive on yours build 2.35L with AVCS and if time will come and money allow,you will see what will be best.

Sometimes is good to keep eye on forums and some bidding sites,plus PH.

But i like idea of Twin scroll turbo on 2.35L

Jura

 

exactly what I'm thinking about the twin scroll...we shall see at the time I guess

you are right..PH always confused me though; its so big I never know where to start and then get stuck on the classifieds imagining I've won the lottery

 

When we are thinking to build our one,we are don't think on Twin scroll,but from reports these turbos rotated or no,have amazing spool and power too..
As you are said,you will see at this time

Jura

 

So I'm a little anxious...long engine will be done before xmas barring any unforeseen nasties and I'm off to pick up my gearbox from Gazza at GR Performance second week of December. Exciting stuff

 

Exciting times

 

what box you gone for ian?

 

Well I can't let Frayz have all the glory Banny, this one if for alll the sheds out there

Jon, straight cut PPG with billet selector forks and DCCD after having a play in an old RA with DCCD I had to get it Whats up with yours...still playing with your 'Dub?

 

Sounds good mate.

 

Fingers crossed

 

broke it up mate, cirumstances have changed for now. It was never going to work anyway, 400hp without rods pistons + a ty754...i did it all wrong so stopped before i went any further.

still got the car, brakes, sus, empty engine bay and some plans just need some cash now

 

good luck Jon, we could all do with more of that

 

love the bonnet that the same idea i got about no scoop in it but cant fined one anywere even thought about a sport bonnet but there heavy

 

it was made by immortal performance, they made a couple of batches, SC have them on a few of thier cars in some form or another...Lateral Banana has one too iirc

 

will call sc 2moro thank you

 

No worries

Look what arrived today, thanks EJ22Lad

 

bit of an update with a few pics...

PPG bits have arrived from Oz and I think I've sourced the DCCD centre diff and transfer case too so gearbox is almost ready for building.


sti crank pulley now cleaned up, painted and with SMG. Mo has finished balancing everything so the short engine is almost ready to be built after another clean


Heads are almost done, a couple of teaser pics from Steves' mobile...lots of additional work required as they were such a mess...I should have sourced some big port JDM heads really. Oh well

 

where did ya get that work surface from trails?
i want some

gaz

 

which one is that mate?

 

DCCD clock set with the rare 10k limit, just need to sort an MPH sticker for the speedo, anyone know where I can get one?


Another update from Steve, valve seats now re machined
