Hey Guys

My engine is for sale. I need a replacement engine/clutch in the deal.

Engine: (revs to 9000 rpm)

JE forged pistons

Shot-peened rods

ARP rod bolts

Nismo piston rings

ported/polished head

plenum to engine porting

engine to turbo porting

machined crank

bored cylinders

full re-balancing/measuring of all engine components

modified sump to prevent surging (baffle type)

N1 water pump

N1 oil pump

HKS head gasket

HKS drag pro valve springs

HKS cam gears

HKS 264 in/264 out cam shafts

600cc nismo injectors

all six cylinders have identical compression.

OS Giken triple plate/flywheel kit

Basically engine and clutch.

All work was done by Stef from IMS on the gold coast. He tuned John Tuelans GTP Cup GTR and was head machanic for one of the V8 supercar teams. Engine has done approx 19,000 kms since the its build running 1.5 bar max boost. Well below its rating of 2.0 bar.

Looking for 14K plus replacement parts.

It's making 430HP @ all 4 with low mount nismo turbos. Torque comes on hard @ 3500 rpm.

The engine will support around 650HP @ all 4 with appropriate turbo set-up. Seans widebody GTR made 560HP @ all 4 with the same engine and no worries.

Michael

just curious, was was the power figure at 1.5 bar of boost? hefty i would imagine.....

Good question.

I don't want to sell it but the cash will be more useful to me short term than the car unfortunately.

Maybe I won't sell it. Who knows.

There is no where to go after this car. Porsche maybe.

    • Not yet, might end up being easter now, didn't end up getting time off over xmas.    I've been seeing some concerning things online now too. Lots of people with issues, could all be setup issues but the consequences in some cases are significant.    All of the below are other peoples stories, not mine and are unverified.  Seen 2 x broken adapter ring that destroyed the gearbox as it failed.   They still do seem to have twin plate rattle despite claims of silent. Several issues with it not holding power but some evidence of constant pressure on plate. Setup issues with bite point.   Lot of people after 2-4 weeks swapping back to another brand.    On the positive side, I've seen a barra put down near 1000hp at the wheels and its held it.  Also everyone seems to confirm the pedal is light.    Does have me a little cautious and looking at ATS carbon clutches again .......        
    • I'm late to the party on this one but good to see common sense has prevailed and the turbo kit is coming. 
    • She's looking good Greg. Colour suits it perfectly 👍
    • I had a look at the FAB9 EFR kit, around $8500 AU before delivery, so add in shipping, installation, consumables and tuning, I believe the price difference would be negligible  And whilst I am paying top dollar at MX5 Mania, if I have any issues with the kit they are local for support,  and from my experience, will happily go out of their way to help, hell, I've purchased parts from them and asked "how do I install or remove parts" and they have fitted a few of them for free, this means more to me than saving a few thousand dollars And yes, 99% of the time I just plod around in the car, that may change once I start hearing turbo whooshy noises, but, as I have 3 family members is the constabulary, even when I'm up it, it is only up to the speed limit, or occasionally, but rarely, overtaking on the Hwy (I just plod in the left lane typically and enjoy the drive) Plus the kids would never let it go if I got booked speeding, Jackie is constantly getting critiqued by the kids about her driving, which I think is hilarious, and tell them that she is "bringing shame to our family", so heaven forbid if I ever got done speeding, after all my mouthing off about her driving, I would never live it down, and it would be another thing she would bring up any chance she got Like the time I got drunk about 15 years ago and fell out of a cab, which gets brought up at least a few times every year since it happened Good times
