2rismo Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 They're coming. Waiting for steel caps and girdle, main studs and pistons. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/448268-275-radial-r33-drag-build/page/4/#findComment-7403398 Share on other sites More sharing options...
2rismo Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 Head back from CNC. They roughed most of the hard stuff out. Now getting measured, hand-finished, all the usual stuff. Valves, seats and whatnot are all there too now and the cams should have arrived in the shop today. Tyres arrived at my place too. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/448268-275-radial-r33-drag-build/page/4/#findComment-7417719 Share on other sites More sharing options...
2rismo Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 Oh, forgot the bottom end update; Spool main caps, girdle and studs arrived and have all gone off to Jack Bros. to be line bored.

2rismo Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Cleaned out some of the engine bay today. Took hours. Barely scratched the surface and then one of the bloody wiper arm bolts has corroded itself in. Bugger. Still sooo much crap to remove.

Ben C34 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 It's not a proper build thread until there's a foot in a photo Those ports look huge, can't wait to see some results.

2rismo Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 It's not a proper build thread until there's a foot in a photo Those ports look huge, can't wait to see some results. They're a tiny bit bigger now and the exhaust is matched to the manifold. Plenty of meat in the 6boost runner/flange to make it perfect. I pick up the new Plazmaman billet runner intake next week. Will be interested to see how much, if any, work that needs. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/448268-275-radial-r33-drag-build/page/4/#findComment-7418362 Share on other sites More sharing options...
2rismo Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 Ordinary engine builder: "Hey mate, your cams arrived." My engine builder: Caps, girdle etc all arrived. Deck given a light machine before going out for line boring at Jack Bros.

2rismo Posted November 5, 2014 Author Share Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) I've done the street car thing, now I'm doing the race car thing. No water in the block (or between the head and the block, but that comes later), methanol, comp', big boost, 7s. Buh-five-tah is a legendary car.

2rismo Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 Progress on engine assembly. Got the block back from Jack Bros after a line bore and hone and being tapped for 12mm head studs as well as being fitted for the steel caps. Osama bin Grindin'. Needs a couple of thou off everywhere and a few off the thrust. Was too tight everywhere but very consistent (maximum .001 either way of the middle.) Turbosmart FPR-3000 showed up too. Will be running Siemens 2400s x 12 by the looks of things. There goes $2k.
