Slight update-
Well engine out Attachment 45935 Attachment 45936 Stripped the heads off the block and found out their fecked (was going to use the heads) seems like when it blew, shrapnel got in to heads and slightly damaged them Attachment 45937 Attachment 45938 Attachment 45939 Attachment 45940 So now, plan is to get some avcs heads and go that route instead now, I'm going to collect some v7 jdm avcs tonight or tomorrow as the alternative choice :). Will update as and when |

Well as you know above, I needed some heads fast, I wanted to go avcs but wanted to save on costs of my current ones were ok, but that didn't happen so I sourced these.
V7 sti jdm avcs big port better cams. Attachment 45859 Attachment 45860 Attachment 45861 Attachment 45862 Attachment 45863 Attachment 45864 Attachment 45865 |

I also was aiming to keep my downpipe as I was led to belive it was 3" but that was wrong too
Attachment 45853 Tapered down to 2.5 or 2" by the looks of it, I have a 3" milltek back box to go on, so was going to get a 3" center pipe made to fit, but then had to source a proper 3" to 3" downpipe. So I found this H&S near new condition Attachment 45854 Attachment 45855 |
Obviously the costs have spiralled as usual, but it's for the better and I want to do it right first time.
Had to get a few sensors etc and a few bits n bobs for block, new rocker caskets as changed heads, Also for safety and flow got a new 11mm oil pump with valve mod to stop it from sticking which is usual cause on bearing failure Wideband loom from Tim at jti (what a pleasant guy to deal with) and also avcs loom on way, newage crank trigger G11 on way, loads of bits n bobs needed at last minute lol and there's me thinking I bought everything prior. |
the oil pump is a myth.......the jammed / sticking PRV does occur very occassionally but is normally caused by debris rather than initial cause

be careful which variety you buy as some are not value for money IMO - carry various options in stock along with most engine components
|
Think I can see some cracks around a couple of the plug holes on those heads buddy. :(

Well had a bit of time to pop over to tims yesterday and fitted new water pipes to turbo, fitted a few sensors etc to block and put inlet on ready now for billet rails to run parallel.
I've gone for the RAWerehouse rails as they have good reviews for a fraction of price compared to others. Attachment 43451 Attachment 43452 Also got some bride rails for my coberau seats as modding stock rails makes seats sit too high apparently so decided to buy proper rails instead. Attachment 43453 I also decided to get a 6 speed dccd box too, I've sourced a widetrack blob box but can't collect for a couple of weeks yet due to seller can't get to it. It's had a rebuild with Carbon syncros. Attachment 43454 |
Good stuff Corky! If your gonna be running some power the 6speed will be your favourite mod
|
You may as well upgrade the shifter bushes as the box is out to something like Perrin or Kartboy

(to my knowledge no-one else supplies the full set??) I'm ordering beatrush ones.. |
to my knowledge no one supplies uprated UJ bushes (which generally are the ones that actually wear) and we have found that it is this that makes the biggest difference to the shift quality for our competition/trackday customers...........
