steering wheel with quick release boss (ebay special :lol: )

Seems to stick a fair distance out, so will have to wait and see what its like. Can easily just revert to wheel on fixed boss alone if its to close to me

Depends how tall you are really... im quite a tall lad, and if i have the seat all the way back with harnesses on, its hard to reach the steering wheel

yup... thats why i went with a dished wheel. Just unsure if the extra 60mm or so from the snapoff boss will make it too close.

new exhaust

any opinions on any of the above?

Will prob just go for a built short block, use my heads and get a decent baffled sump. Uprated oil pump too :)

Stay away from Flat 4. The block isn't a true CDB its an EJ257 that's been closed after manufacture. It still has the stock liners ad shouldnt be confused with CDB blocks.

Not only that but delivery with Flat 4 is hit and miss. Some people have reported quick delivery whilst others have been waiting months. I wouldn't want to be spending the sums discussed here just in case you become one of the unfortunate ones.

Speak to enginetuner, they do drive in drive out soloutions at very good prices,
i've just had my 2.1 stroker CDB engine built for my Type R and the results are very good indeed..As mentioned keep away from flat4 online they never have anything in stock and take months to get the parts to you

your winding me up, thats the skyline & the impreza with engine failures now?

do you have your heart set on a 2.5? as said, speak to alan @ enginetuner

had a wee look at it this afternoon when unloading it into the garage... started it up... NO NOISE at all!

let it Idle for a min with no noise, give the accelerator a prod, and the god awfull rattle started again. Sounds like its coming from the NS (right hand looking in) head.

suggestions.

is it a knock? or a really loud rattle?

when andys went it sounded like rear right (lookin in) and it was the bottom end, god awful rattle and one i hope to never hear again!

Could be a shim out of place

bottom end it was..... bearig metal in sump, loose rod...

Sourced a forged 2.0 to chuck in

Another vote for Engine Tuner 2.1, Give Alan or martyn a call they are very helpfull and the customer service I got was outstanding.

sourced a forged 2.0, Power FC, AFP 20G.... haggling on some injectors

will order a clutch today I hope..... and a baffled sump.

Did you get the steering wheel fitted? Hows it look on the car?

the wheel looks like a steering wheel on the car :P

I fitted it without the quick release for now...

:lol1: was gonna say if you had the quick release on, i was intrested on how far it stuck out from standard (im thinking i may be having problems with my steering wheel too far away once i get the harnesses in the car :brickwall

if the wheel didnt have a dish (65mm ) it would prob be fine.

I just needed a working solution for that trackday/timeattack and the quick release was just a little too close.

I can re-investigate once its back on the road

looks awesome

noticed I havent popped a pic of it up on track with the TA decals

:)

change of clutch plan.... cant get an AP ( kit no CP2000-18 ) for weeks :( so went for the quick fix of the exedy FK01H601 kit... supposed to be good to around what i'm planning.

The car wont be running 400bhp till i sort out injectors anyway so it'll do for a while!

DSBC-R arrived....

I've decided to hold back the plans for 400bhp just now and get it all runing with the current fueling (uprated pump, standard FPR and 440cc injectors) so maybe 340bhp for now. I'll look into a track friendly fueiling setup with room for E85 once its running. 700ish cc injectors, parallel rails, FPR, swirl pot with external pump etc.

I think everything is covered. Just hope it all comes together :|

Got the same clutch in mine and it judders like fook, cant wait to change it...........

new engine is in.... and just about ready to run.

Rolled the rear arches too... not the neatest of jobs so will need to paint the insides of them.

Old engine ready to be karted home and stripped/maybe rebuilt :D

Will have the old IHI VF24 turbo and one of my spare sumps up for sale soon too :)

initial mapping... 306bhp (dunno torque yet). 440cc injectors are max'd. 0.8bar of boost on 20G, full boost by 4200'ish rpm. Nice and revy engine.... but a bit funny sounding (piston slap)

Hmmm... might need to find some bigger injectors before snetterton :lol: and brakes, and better susp....

youl get a tad of postin slap with forged internals adam

i,ve heard the same but all the big engines i listen too sound just like the usual standard block ?

yup.... when cold.
