my forged build v4 sti ra
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

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.
