That's the spirit! Good luck with the build!

Thanks mate

Perfect excuse for a forged build. All the best with it! Cracking car

[BrummieJDM]

Cheers mate, my thoughts exactly just not looking forward to picking up the bill

There is always that, but think of the grin factor with 350bhp

[BrummieJDM]

Bought some more goodies today ready for the rebuild

- ACL Race bearings
- ARP Head studs
- Cometic MLS Headgasket

[BrummieJDM]

Got most of my parts now for the rebuild and decided to go fully forged in the end

Wiseco Pistons



Eagle rods





Cometic Gasket, ACL race Bearings and ARP Head studs






Plus two addtional upgrades

CT26 Stage 3 Turbo with Forge actuator



Evo 8 Brembo's with 320mm discs




Just got to get an Exedy Fast Road Organic Clutch, Walbro fuel pump, Cambelt and tensioners, Head & Bottom end gasket set then it'll be off to Century for Nathan to do the rebuild

[craig]

Awesome, those brembos are gonna look awesome nestled behind the wheels

[mrtoretto]

Nice work!

[JDM-MAT]

Thanks guys

Quick update, car went off to Nathan last week.

This week Nathans took the motor out and stripped it down ready for machining, he found it was actually head gasket that had gone not the rings

However he has said that the main bearings looked a bit dodgy so it'll be worth while plus at least it's forced me down the forged route to get good power

[craig]

Awesome dude! Bet you cant wait to get it back!

Dyno print outs please!

So after about 3 week of Nathan having the car it was ready for collection last night so I'm now busy running it in and really enjoying the nice new rebuilt engine

I also purchased a few additonal parts for the build:

- ARP Main studs & Bolts
- ARP Flywheel Bolts
- Exedy Stage 1 Organic clutch
- F1 Racing Fly wheel
- Silcone Water hoses

Here are the pics that Nathan kindly took for me B)
















































So I now need to find a 2nd hand Link ECU and it stills needs the bored out fuel rail and 540cc injectors fitting then it will be Mapping time

great thread, top work.

[BrummieJDM]

I havent updated my thread for a while but I have been busy doing a few bits so thought it was about time



First of all I have been trying to make the interior a bit less bland

Installed a Momo Race steering wheel, Stainless dial surround and White dials











Fitted a new leather gear gaitor and hand brake gaitor




Also carbon wrapped the centre console.





Nathan fitted my Rev3 rear lights but they were a bit dull so I machine polished them back to life










Also had a new Japspeed exhaust fitted





I bought some Apex springs and new KYB top mounts to improve the handling which are currently being fitted





Finally I have bought a Thor racing branded Link Ecu which is also currently being fitted and should be mapped hopefully in the next couple of weeks

Is that BOV a forge or the no name ebay version, had the ebay one on mine when i bought it and the piston opens at 1 bar Absolute rubbish.. Lovely build though.. What turbo you going with?
