Sbr's Engine Build.

[Swiper the Fox]

yeah all bolted on gonna see how it goes but still looking for a good bare head..

id build you one but my head guy is soooo slllloooowwww that you wouldn't have it till next year!

if he didn't do such a bloody good job id send them elsewhere...he's starting to piss me off somewhat.

its an unfortunate way of the world that when someone is so good they are in high demand...but my patience is starting to run out with this one...who takes 6 weeks off at christmas thats not at school?

also paul... those shims i saw in the oil pump box.... wat did u end up doing with them... i figured they are to shim up the pressure release valve to increase or decrease the pressure????

thats correct....they wont be required...but mark will check the pressure on start-up to see if they are needed. ive already addressed this with him and he said with the clearances ive used the pump should be ok out of the box.

[skylinekid]

ok sweet not that im trying to double check ur work or nethin i just wanted to know wat actually went into it etc.... tis good to know for future reference

ill write 'oil pump shims' on the packet so you know what they are for.

there only 270's paul.... also it sounds like a pain in the arse on the street tis all i will say lol

have also been discussing with paul my exhaust housing size.... atm ive got a .81 but the .96 housing seems that it may have been a better option... the only problem is to the manifold i have is single entry not twin entry so im gonna have to check if they make a single entry .96.... will also have to get the housing made to suite my wastegate inlet pipe... ahhh more mucking around

it will be nice and responsive with the 0.81...if you want less response and more top end i think the 0.96 would suit. Dave's 2.6 doesn't seem to want to make any more than 450awkw with the .81 no matter what i do to the tune or fuel type. Ive put it down to the rear housing being unable to flow the air mass...you having the extra 200cc and a better head will find it even tougher to 'move' the air through it...hence the idea of the larger rear.

Being a RWD though the 0.81 might be easier on the tyres, driveline and might be easier for you to keep it pointing in the direction you actually want to go.

my thoughts exactly.... either way im pricing up a .96 rear made to suite so we'll see how much they are..... but seriously 450rwkw should be plenty through a street cars rear wheels only...

just double checking since u didnt reply that plate that sits behind the cams gear did u strip the paint off it. or is it still all good...

[skylinekid]

was told i should see a big effort made this week to have the head finished and back to paul ready for sum assembly... cant wait.
