the first pics ive been sent of my 2.1 build,



will have some more pics to follow next week, heads are refubed and machined ready to fit then in she goes providing clutch has turned up,

 

Very nice - makes me want to rush out and build my own new engine

 

who's building it?

 

slowboy racing is doing the build, cant wait to get it back and get it run in, then start thinking about turbo and ecu

 

I know how you're feeling. Literally just had some snaps of my 2.1 back from Alan at EngineTuner - what is it about a nitrided crank that can put a smile on your face? I've opted for a sc46 running Alca Tek, mated with a toucan in-car. Hope your build goes well and I'll look forward to seeing more pics.

 

cheers buddy, im lookng into sc46 or 321t, im aiming for 450bhp and as much torque as poss, not really thought that hard about ecu but syvecs has been recommended a few times now, more pics soon good luch with yours too

 

Sweet

 

I had exactly the same requirements too and those two were my options. Not much in it, so went on recommendations from ETuner. I know your builder has used the 321t before and has had great results. Both great turbos. Whatever you go for you'll have a hell of a road car.

 

cheers bud, what is the 321 like on a 2.1, what revs is it on full boost ect, by august id like to be running the turbo and ecu, plus other supporting mods

 

Looking good,Neil@Slowboy racing build for us 2.1 and we are went with the MD321T billet plus Syvecs and we are very happy with this combo

im using my std sti heads they have been fully cleaned, skimmed valves relaped, valves cleaned,
once its run in neil is going to map it on the sti injectors and top mount which should make around 350 bhp with very little lag, then im going sc46, md321t, possibly a gt30. with all supporting mods my goal is 450bhp roadcar.
dura, might be interested in your gauges at some point just seen them in the forsale section they look the part

 

All the best with your project Ryan

 

your in good hands Neil does quality work,i look forward to more updates.

 

We are at 490bhp on Manley rods and as Neil@Slowboy racing said we can push our engine up to 550bhp without the problem

We would be very concerned at this level if we would have Eagle rods,which are not the best above 400bhp

What are the pistons coated in?

 

not sure regarding the pistons id imagine some sort of anti det coating, i trust neil with the build everything ive heard about his work is basically perfection

 

great thread, love the 2.1s

 

spoke to neil today, engine should be fired up for the first tim tommorrow

 

got car back friday, done around 250 miles running in so far, here is the the reason for the rebuild,



any way the car is running nice and sweet hopefully can get the rest of the running in miles done next few days and get it mapped on standard turbo next fri,
will upload some more pics of the bay soon
