Dan Gleebits

Engine Bays getting Cleaner & Tidyer...

Fabioso

Must be a really good feeling to know its your own hard work too. Love to hear about the kind of "encounters" you have over the next few weeks

Danny_lad

Thanks mate...Defo is a awesome Feeling...

Ive Been tweaking the map with my mates via lemmiwinks and ive made it even quicker with advance'd Timing 2.75Degrees+ before i even seen any litte cfs.(DET)

Gonna Use the Revo select plus ive got to tweak it that bit more....

Speaking of encounters...Had a Evo 9 & Black R32 was very Easy Pickings awesome Feeling though.. Peaking & Substained 1.55bar boost...

Fabioso

Have you got any ideas on the figures for your car in its current format? quarter or 0 - 100?

Danny_lad

No idea mate sorry.....

40-100 ish Scary tbh as its already got traction and torques steers like a ****..

0-60 wont be that great maybe 6sec relastic depending on Weather..I wouldn't mine a High 12s 1/4..

Danny_lad

The Engine Bay as its stands :

Got a set of braided lines to Make and fit but apart from that its nearly there...O and paint the throttle bodie side...

Fabioso

Looks really good m8!!

Matteeboy

That is a hell of a conversion - really good to see it done so well.

And no daft claims of being able scalp a GT2 or similar (although it must be very quick now).

Modding is not my cup of tea but that's very nicely executed!

Danny_lad

Thanks lads Comment appreacited..

Its took me long enough but its defo worth it kinda been tweaking the timing and Boost to see what i can slightly gain AFR is also Been spot on too which is a added bonus...
As for Bhp its roughly around 320ish as my mates Celica is 343 and i rape it...Once its roller its just awesome..

Gonna start Fitting my methanol kit this weekend..but im having the bodywork sorted few little Bits then a full respray in yellow to brighten it up...

How the outside stands:

Danny_lad

Righto...

Ive had it RR'd and it made 328bhp @ 1.5bar with Some more tweaking via my Revo SPS3...


to say its flyin in a understatment

that is all

Fabioso

328 bhp........ christ!!! how do you explain that one to your insurance company?

Danny_lad

He Just laughed & Said wow...

Looking at a td05-18G now though....

Danny_lad

Now that My Big turbo conversion was all Done and running and producing good power for me...I was Next moving on to the bodywork But sadly a few days ago my water Pump Gave way...

So ive had to Put the Money else were in to the engine...I desided to Do a Full rebuild well as near as dam it..
What ever i could replace with the engine in situ from gasket to bearings ect..

So it sat for a few day while i pondered on what todo so i desided along with a few mates to pull it all apart and get it done..As it wouldn't get done by its self...

So i started by removing the Inlet manifold And Rocker cover then Drained all the coolant out which i had in it...
Then i got cracking on with the manifold on the IHI amazinly i don't have to take the turbo off or even downpipe so that makes faffing about alot less...

I know this might sound sad to people but as me doing this with mates i desided to box and lable everthing that i had taken off...Bit of organizing tbh:

Pics:

How it looked after the BT conversion that i had done:


Then:


I then Desided while it was in bits this would be my only and easiest chance to Smarten and Paint a few things..So i started with the Alternator to freshen up..Also painted brackets and Alt Tensioner to clean them up atleast:


my pots of which i have many off:


And current parts in order of which i took them off:


So while its in bits i desided to uprate my rods as running 1.5bar at the limiter is in rod bending terrioty.As you can see a massive difference between the OEM rod and my Scat ones:


I didn't get much done today due to it raining but tomorrow i want to get the :

* Oil Drained
* Remove Oil Sump
* Remove water Pump
* Remove Timing belt & Tensioner

Then once my Head Bolt Remover has arrived i can remove the 20v Cyclinder head and get it sent off to be full Rebuilt...Due to funds & time im gonna keep the OEM Valves but with New Springs and Guides ect...

While the pistons and Rods are Out im going to De-glaze the Bores with a 180 Grit hone then replace with new rings.Headgaskets,New Shims & gaskets...

Alot more pictures to follow...:

Danny_lad

I spent another hour on it tonight after work...So i ended up getting the sump off which was really easy looking at it....

Then by my suprise i got the manifold of ''Without'' removing the Turbo,lines & downpipe and i done it with easy to...

So next for me is to remove the following:

* Remove Alternator Belt
* Remove crank shaft pully & Bi plate
* Remove Timing belt and Tension

Then Remove then Water Pump

Just gotta meet up with john to borrow his Head Bolt Kit then i can get this 20v cyclinder head off and get on with the rebuild...

I got a few pictures as usal...

My Custom 3'' T.i.p which sounds immense:


Under Neath with the crank and rods showing(Covered up with a dust sheet)




Then gave the Bottom Sump a quick Lick of paint but i feel i need to treat my self to a baffle jobbie


Big Thanks to John & Alex for Helping me so far :happy:

Danny_lad

Started doing abit more tongith due to the fact i got my head Remover tool in the post...

So the head came off with easy which was all good for me and to my utter suprise the Headgasket Looked & Seemed fine...Even though looks can be deseving.
So thats the Headgasket now Binned Ready for a nice new One


Once that was done i removed Cylinder 1 piston which needed some Fettling due to the engine being at TDC.
So i had to Tap Number 4 down to allow me more room to get the rod out as it was catching on the shoulder of the inner wall...

And got that out and swaped the rods over....Measured up which was the intake side of the rod and which was front & Back...
The Next Step for me was to inner inspected the Inner Bore wall for Depth marks and Genral Wear But to my suprise & my Mates(Mechanic) It was Uber Smooth and Clean...As were the other 3 Cylinders..

Next for me is to hone the cylinders and Fit my New Rings then Fit and torque up the rods..

I got one rod done tonight due to me needing feeding...
Big Thanks Once again to John & Alex

Anyway Pics...







Im not 100% sure on the Head yet but its defo having a Full rebuild and a Port & Polish( Inlet & Exhaust Sides)

Danny_lad

Righto...

Its finally time to start sticking it all back together..I finally Received most of my rebuild kit so a big thanks to alex at Backdraft motorsport for doing me a truely outstanding price on Genuine VW/Audi Parts...

Best place and price even in the states..

So im gonna start on saturday morning to get the bottom end all made up and ready so then i can finally get my head sent off to be fully rebuilt...
All im waiting on now is my head Gasket set & headbolts along with my Genesis 550cc injectors then i can turn the key ..


O and i also forget to mention ive got a Methanol kit on order and im waiting for andy forrest to ring me about a TD05-18G but it seems i can make my IHI Vf23/P20 in too a beefy hybrid...

so waiting on price from mark at cr-turbos...but its nearly there.. finally..

Danny_lad

While I knew i had lots todo tomorrow and not enough time todo it i thought id start dressing up the new Pistons & Rods With Rings plus new Rod Bearings...

To say the least i was really ****ting my self as i didnt want to snap a ring due to how bloody expensive they actually really are...Anyway I took the old Rings of one piston and by following Vwvortex & Jepistons plus reading and watching them several times i learned out how todo them which was really straight forward...

Once they were on a quick phone call to alex to confirm they were done correclty i started on with the rest of them which to my suprise went really smoothly(For a change).

The for me was to get the bearings fitted and all lube up with torco lube which is like a kinda ky-3 jelly for cars...
Took me Roughly 1 hour todo the rings and Bearings as it was a huge learning cirve for me so i didn't want to miss or rush anything...

I made sure Everything was real clean abit like a OCD Charge but i supose it actually helps...So Now there all dressed up and ready togo i can get cracking on with them tomorrow morning and can have the full bottom end all built up nicely..

Just a shame i could'nt get the pistons up like new but i supose that dosnt matter...

So tommorrow jobs are as the following:

* Set Clearances For the Rings Via Je piston website.
* Clean Both Sump Services ready for Sealant..
* Generiously Lube Inner Cylinder walls With torco..
*Fit New pistons and Align up with crack...
* Clean and Lube Crank then Fit Bottom rod Cap
* Fit ARP bolts with ARP lube and torque in seqence 3 times 50ft-lb

* Double Check everything
* Turn the crank By hand to see if anything catching..
* Fit Sump Drainer With gaurd
* Then Refit sump with sealant...

Also gotta fit a new Oil cooler and Alternator tensioner....

Anyway lots of pictures as usal..:whistle:









More to follow..
