So Im rebuilding a beams motor...., Who wants to touch me. :P Options

Hi folks.

A few of you guys here seem pretty interested in the beams motor.

Well I am rebuilding one at the moment.

I know quite a lot about these engines, as I have been researching for the last year or so, trying to find out information here and there.

I have the motor in bits at the moment, my hands are tied until I get my bottom end bearings.

So if you have any questions, or would like to see any pics etc, let me know.

My motor has a port & polished head (Which was done by an unknown company in Japan) heat wrapped TOMs extractrors, Apexi intake, cusco paddle clutch, light weight cusco flywheel, balanced crank/rods/pistons/flywheel, and the cat has been replaced with a straight through pipe.

Hopefully it will make in the region of 210-220 flywheel hp, or about 180-185 hp at the wheels.

And BTW it will be going into a 1050kg MR2.

Ive been doing a 'mock up' build over the last few days, to make sure I have all of the nuts/bolts/etc. etc. etc, so I am good to go when my bearings arrive. 8)

Hence the lack of crank. :?



I also put a few coats of clear over the rocker cover and intake manifold, to satisfy my magpie syndrome (lust for shiny things!) and for a few extra points with the ladies. :lol:
