£23 import taxes paid at the door to the UPS driver. Spot the obvious er... mistake....

 

ordered some spares????

 

Lol, only 4 rods though.

 

Bizare mate....

They must have made a mistake

 

Going for the 3.3 block then are lol

 

I either need to buy a new ej33 block or find someone who wants to forge half their engine.

 

its good to have spares mate,you never know,if anything happens to the ones you have already,youve got a couple to spare.

 

They fit and no extra cost?

 

I don't have a micrometer but all labelling says they are 92.5. No extra cost, but the site didn't specify quantity.

 

Better check that the pin size and compression height is the same on the 6 pot motor.

 

Hmmm, where would i find that information? Should i just send them to you now lol?.

 

Did you manage to get heads fella?

 

I haven't as yet. I got a quote for the short motor build which was too good to resist, but in reality its twice what i paid for the pistons/rods etc, and that has taken me 6 months to save.
Have you still got yours?

 

No i sold those to a friend, i have another set from a Version 4 STI Type R

 

Apparently the EJ33 has 96mm pistons...

Lol, carry on the way your going and you could build an Impreza and come back where you belong.

 

Yes send them here and I'll measure them, i'll pm you my address now.

 

Just read through all 5 pages mate and loving this.

Would like to do this at some point but don't think I would ever have the *****

Still, I'm off to eBay now to look at 'knocking' blocks!

 

Seriously? I would love to inspire someone to do similar as JGM, Frayz, EMB and Daz Davies have inspired me.

 

Excuse quality, taken in my loft in a rush.

 

Lol, yer. While those guys builds are inspiring I would never have the £££ to do one like that.

I been looking on fleabay and seems you can get a knocking engine for around £200/£300. Something I will be looking into for sure.

 

Or wait for a non-knocking engine like the one currently in my car?

 

How long did they take to be delivered?

 

About 10 days i think.

 

That's pretty quick

 

Been following this thread as i'm going in the same direction at some point soon . Just wondering are the pistons and rods you've got from realstreetperformance 2.1 kit ? What makes a 2.1 different to a 2.0 kit is it rod length/crank or just over sized pistons? Also can i ask who is doing the build and for how much ?

 

Subscribed - just need to make time to have a good read now.

 

I think you may find this interesting fella, going back a month or so ago with us trying to find info on the "2 line cams" from the sti heads.

Today i removed the cam cover on an engine to check the cams(basically to see if they had the 2 lines) as is the general census assciated with V3/V4 heads.

They didnt!

They were identical to the set i sold to a friend a few weeks ago( one central line) and identical to the other cams people have found in V3/V4 heads with under bucket shims.

Now i know for a fact that these heads came from version 4 type R because the guy who's heads they are removed them from his mates to type r to fit on his forged engine.

So...........IMO the "one line" 4in/4ex cams are actually V4 Type R heads as opposed to the "two line" V3 heads.

 

The oversized 92.5 pistons make it 2.1, the 79mm 257 (later model) crank is 4mm longer, therefore making it a "stroker".
I'll go into who will be building it at a later date, and although i'm trying to put prices on everything, i'll have to check the builder is fine with me posting the price. Although i think a lot of people will be contacting them.

Cool, was there any difference in profile between 3/4?

 

No worries ill keep an eye on things here then , real street seems very cheap!! just thinking are there many builders out there willing to build from parts they haven't supplied ? as think they might get the hump as not making as much out of the job .

 

Wow its going well buddy!

Its gettint to be a very interesting thread this, I haven't read it for a month or so.

Keep up the good work
