Hey all, thought i'd chuck this up for anyone who is interested in a 25 build chasing 500 plus rwkw. Car used to have stock motor putting out 296rwkw with the old faithful 3076r and not much else. Now with my current licence issues (ie lack of) i will be building the motor fiiinally with parts i got thru NYTSKY an Raw Brokerage several years ago. So the list so far consists of;

CP pistons 20 thou over 9 to 1 comp

Eagle H Beam rods with ARP 2000 bolts

ARP head and main studs

Nitto oil pump

Full fuel system (sard surge tank with two AEM pumps inside and pierburg lift pump)

Custom low mount t3 manifold with Turbosmart 45mm Hyper gate

Custom plenum on stock runners with stock throttle body

Now i am just waiting on my custom turbo the boys at JEM have ordered which is something like a Garrett GT3794r with t3 rear. Still working out cam ideas an also injectors which may be ID2000's. Haltech Platinum Pro will be going in along with maybe a Profec B ebc. Hopefully with all this on e-flex it should pump out over 500rwkw fingers crossed. Will whack some photos on once stuff gets serious, we all know what the parts look like :) Also, all my old parts will be for sale ;) Will chuck them in the for sale section soon enough...

Cheers!

Can't wait till this beast is done :D

Edited by MR 33

Well plan has changed a little bit. Ended up selling my old turbo set up including manifold and gate, so I will now be going with a high mount set up. Should be easier to work on, not too mention look better :yes:

Motor miiight be back tomorrow, if not week next from machining. Will put up some more photos as the build progresses

Build is moving along nicely! Have decided on going solid lifter conversion. Cams will be 260in/270ex. Fuel system is nearly complete, went with Xspurt 2000cc injectors and twin inlet top feed rail. Just waiting on motor then everything should flow along nicely :)

Boot install just about done

Little update, cams have been decided on along with solid lifter conversion. Have decided to drop the VCT in order to get the cams we want. Have gone with Tomei Procams 270 inlet and exhaust with 10.25mm lift. Should sound grumpy! :yes: Got Supertech solid lifter kit with oversize valves and all the good bits that come with it as well. Tomei cam gears on the front. All that arrived during the week and has been sent away to machine shop. Changed from my custom plenum (which is for sale) to a Greddy style one, which we painted in wrinkle black. Along with my black fuel rail, reg, lines and fittings it should look very sexy I think. Getting ever closer to hearing this thing fire up!

Plenum and rail lookin nice

    • Yes, me too!!!!  I need to find a something that has all the abbreviations for what these cars have LOL
    • Dang.....  that is some good info.  Thank you.    Yes, I plan to do some troubleshooting before I actually just throw parts at it.  I was doing some investigating on parts, just to get a head start, if wiring and stuff all looked good.
    • No worries, now that I'm closer to 70yo than not, this sort of stuff will one day be 'lost knowledge'... and even now, I wonder just how many folks out there have the Kent-Moore J34291 shim setting tool set to set end clearances rebuilding these...but right the now, there's less and less hard parts available, and you'll be headed to the wreckers to buy a donor box if it's worn out...(or pay a shop to do exactly the same thing). In a way, it's fortunate the 4-speed was so popular, because there's still heaps of consumables (banners kits, bearings & plates etc) around ~ these early 5-speeds weren't exactly that prevalent, so there's not quite as much about for them... but it's a race between perceived demand for these parts, versus how much they fetch at the shredder for recycling purposes...
    • I hope one day I can do it like you. Your engine looks great.
    • If there's nothing else I can do I'll probably do something like that Someone on the internet said that ca20s and ca18 engine blocks are the same and that you can use a ca20 engine block and put ca18det parts to make a ca20det Do you think this is possible or will it damage the engine?
