Hi,
the engine arrives today - 86,25mm pistons verbauen - everything balanced - everything weight mached - 3 layer TRD bearings (complete engine) - repaired crank becouse the crank seal damages the sourface - 0,05mm decked and the next is to calculate the volume too to get the CR and then i will slowly begin to assemble everything together greetz -------------------- |

Hi,
little modified fuel rail so that the injector plugs fit and then the bigger problem, clearly visible that it is not easy to make the turbo fit the intercooler especially when it shoult professionaly, but the good point is that the ST246 valvecover looks like that throttle body and ic line up well greetz -------------------- |

Hi,
small update, the timing belt is mounted and works and here a adapter plate for the ISC, in the future i will work with a haltech ISC looks like i come in trouble with the water inection valve.....this valve is also a troublemaker, the oem nozzle is to small in size so i had to bore them until i hit ~350mL/min, the big issue is that not the nozzle itself limit me but the valve seat, so i had bo cut the nozzle bore the valve seat, weld it together and then i can machine the nozzle to hit my target possible i do theis on weekend mfg Alex -------------------- |

Ah I see that NSK bearing on the timing, I was unsure if it would work because it has a diff bracket. Good to see it installed on yours! So now I know its good to go!
Progress looks fantastic! |
