just thought i would put up a few photos of my build.

i bought a forged block for very cheap, sold my good engine, bought some v4 heads with the wrong bloody springs and lifters so had to source those which wasnt easy rebuilt heads with new seals, reground valves and did some mild porting.
put that all together then got some phenolic spacers, did the throttle body mod to try and keep it cool, ported the manifold, did a parallel conversion, fitted 550cc injectors and fuel reg.also fitted a harvey 18g,
i ve painted all the brackets with por20 black and the inlet and alternator candy apple red and got some pulleys which match perfectly.
ive got a jun flywheel and exedy clutch to go on plus a pfc

hope you like anyway

 

looking good mate
any pics of the car?
btw that doesnt look like a cdb as can't see the hatch/markings on the block?

 

Looking very nice mate, well done.

Where are these marks out of intrest??

 

cheers, never said it was a cdb mate, its a forged odb, still good for 450 hp

 

What did you use on the alternator?

 

same paint and laquer as mani but I took it apart to do it, not easy

 

sorry bud my mistake i read wrong...thought you meant forge block as in cdb

the markings are nortmally on the oil filter housing and abover the crank pully on the block...good luck anyway and looking forward for the pics

 

no worries mate its all been done on a budget which kept growing every month, its quite shocking how much all the bits and pieces cost. i did think about a cdb but it wouldnt have been worth it for me, i want a fast road car with quick spool rather than a drag monster.

 

Look's pretty bloody smart TBH.

 

very nice, similar to how mine will look hopefully

 

got it running today but no intercooler so it was hunting like crazy but sounded alright so thats good news

a few old pics of the car btw, now got crystals and still after v5/6 grill

 

very nice indeed

 

nice

 

thanx, usually i get grief over the scoop, i didnt fit it and now its functional when i get my sti8 top mount so there -lol

 

how did u get the alternator apart? tried it on mine but seemed harder than it looks.
