RSP they are the ones im ordering my stuff from, the guy told me they should be getting the stock very soon i.e tomorrow/wednesday so i think il just wait for it.

 

I got my engine build parts from realstreetperformance and they were spot on, quick delivery and very helpful

 

They have good customer service when they emailed me today to say it was out of stock and i replied to them and left my mobile number they rang me from there to say that it should get the by tomorrow or wednesday i was impressed with the service. So ill wait for the parts.

 

I got the wiseco piston and Manley rod combo and arp studs and acl race bearings. All still in the boxes though as I havn't got round to putting it all together yet.

 

When are you planning to do? I cant wait to get my stuff haha

 

Getting married in 2 weeks so there has been a lack of cash but i've had 2 knee ops in less than a month so not been able to work or do anything with the motor. Its been off the road for over a year now
Hopefully i can get started soon

 

I've got Mahle competition pistons in my recent forge build and have not had any issues what so ever with them. Mine came from advanced automotive. You will get discount off the prices on the website if you speak nicely to her.

 

has anyone tried this turbos?

Would not bother personally as its not tried and tested, have a look at the SC range from scoobyclinic sure they will have something to suit your needs

 

i have been looking at the SC40 Billet Turbo (20G) is this the same as TD05 20G?

Info somewhere on the thread lol

 

cheers mate im just being lazy to search lol

 

hi guys, just to update i have got the pistons and the rods yesterday so i thought let me post some pictures;











should be getting some more stuff soon, it has been a little slow project but want to make sure i get the rite stuff, i will keep you guys posted

 

As Banny says give Mark a phone you will get the right info on pistons and rods.

I ran a 2.5 with a 20G 2 years ago in my RA and it was mental on track power was instant, will make a very good road set up. You will be well advised to get the best rods and pistons you can as you WILL end up going for a bigger turbo eventually. As mentioned above who is doing the closed deck work on your block and what block are you starting with open deck or semi-closed deck?

 

Morning guys

Engine started yesterday for the first time after 6 months or more, sounds very good, just a little smoke when i rev it but that should clear out once its done few miles, there is few changes in regards to the block its not a close deck its semi closed deck which i rekon is fine for me because i dont want more then 400bhp out of it. I have few pictures of it which i will get up here when i get a chance, just getting the car together now and make sure everything works fine.

 

Good one mate i'm still work in progress, got the block built up just got to get the supporting mods etc. Getting my heads chamber matched and then build the engine complete. Have just bought a front brembo upgrade which i'm looking forward to fitting. I cant wait to get it back on the road

 

I know how you feel mate, my next step is 6speed and brembos all round,Td05 20g 740cc front mount and mapping. Hopefully will get all done by next month.

 

What suspension mods you thinking of doing or are you staying standard?

I will be having this fitted very soon and brembos all round

 

Here is few pictures of the car at the moment:

 

Nice Type R man
Engine is similar spec to mine I went for wiseco piston/eagle rod combo and mine is a semi-closed deck Ej257

 

Thanks mate, loving to drive it just noisy engine when cold but only done 200km so far. mine is a semi-closed deck too

 

Wouldnt mind that man mines the same

 

does the noise go away after few 1000 miles?

 

Car booked in for remap on the 16th with Duncan, he will be using RCM rollers, cant wait to get it done.

A little late due to funds and other family issue, but its getting better now so will have it mapped and see how she performs.

I will post the results on here once its done.

 

Had the car mapped by Duncan race dynamix, made 366bhp/380lb/ft, wasnt expecting to get over 350 on 440cc injectors.
