Yes I did another 2.1 stroker but built by enginetuner, thought I'd give it ago myself this time round :)

Building yourself ?

Heads have been built / ported / machined by my mate who has been porting and running a engineering shop for over 10years, the block has been machined and prepared by Lateral, I'll be assembling the short motor / long engine myself under the supervision of my mate who built my heads, everything else on the car will be done by myself bar the mapping which will be done by Paul at zen

Very best of luck with it mate, these 2.1's are catching on.

They are indeed :)

Needed a change and sold it in bits what payed for the new age

Its no slouch with 433bhp 472lbs/ft... but have just got a CDB and im still deciding on what route to go with a new engine over the winter

yes i did mate, sold that one tho, got another 2 door now that should be a bit quick when finished.

good luck with yours, i do like the spec

Nice job.

Some pics of the heavily ported heads, supertech valves lapped in, valve seats 3 angle cut, JUN valve springs and retainers fitted and all shimmed up to suit the piper 276 cams....

Not tempted are we...... :D ;)


Nice spec list Omar - good luck with it. Am sure it will be a goodun! :thumb:

Have a spare CDB in the stores and some nice heads, I was thinking about it for the type R but will leave that as it is for now.

Clive

Omar spec list looks good and the teaser pics very nice. Good luck with the build mate i'm sure you wont need it though :thumb:

Lol Clive your not the only one i have 2 spare CDBs + 3rd CDB is built and awaiting me to finish the head work and just bolt it up. Probably keep the other 2 as pension funding lol.

:D

Bally, would you have a spare set of bolts that hold the two block halfs together that I could buy off you?

Go for a 2.1;)

I probably have somewhere mate but its going to take me a while to find anything with the state my garage is in lol...

Have you tried Mattybr5? hes on here too....send him a PM and just let him know that i put him in the frame to look for a set. :D

Will also have a rummage for you tomorrow mate if i get a chance as i usually get in quite late from work. :thumb:

Omar tried to look but had no Joy mate....i need to sort the garage out as have far to many boxes of scoob bits just thrown into plastic boxes..Sorry mate.

Thanks for looking, just picked up a blown uk turbo short motor, so that should cover me on all the bolts and plugs :thumb:

An update on the build guys, ..look what I just bought - a complete mint Sti4 Type R Rolling shell less running gear shes even got TAX and MOT :P It will save alot of time as its pretty much ready for me to drop the running gear in to

Yes :)

Very nice spec list omar should be an animal when finished, iv still not got the rods and pistons in the block yet (i bought the crower rods and cp pistons from you couple months back).
Will be keeping track of this thread mate, keep up the good work :thumb:

Thanks, just read your thread the car is looking good :thumb:

Thanks mate, its getting there, slowly lol. pretty chuffed with my proggress so far seeing as im not a mechanic in anyway lol.

Nice thread Omar..:thumb:

How come you have started from scratch again after building the last 2.1stroker?? Which incidently has just completed its first full trackday and didnt miss a beat!! with just the addition of coilovers, whiteline bars, links and ALK and a front brake change to Ksports.

Glad to hear it's gone to a good home and im very surprised to hear that the same gearbox is still holding up! How did it perform on track compared to your RA? I did spend around £5k on the engine build so you should never have any problems engine wise even on track as it was built for abuse I guess Enginetuner did a fine job of building the car :thumb: Is it still on Martyn's map?

After selling the car I went over to a RX7 and then a Soarer, but they were no match to the Type R you now own so I felt the need to build another but this time doing as much of the work myself, it's abit boring handing your money over to someone and letting them build your car for you...So I thought I'd give it ago myself :)

Any recent pics of the car or videos of it on track?

Long block is now finally assembled I'll get some pics up during the week of the assembly process, in the meantime thought I'd post a pic up of the wheels that I collected from Ruislip tyres a few weeks back

Nice wheels, Rota Fighters's?

Thanks to you & Musti for the R180 diff on the weekend mate :)
