got the W2A heat exchanger and pump today from bsamps. Ben you did such a great job packing the stuff up i almost had to go front mount cause i couldent get it out of the box, thanks for taking the time bud




also got a little paint on the block and everything off that need to be off before i set it back on the engine stand. i only have a few days before i leave for work again so i've been tring to spend at least an hour on it in the evenings, consequently my shop is a mess.




also the first of the parts i ordered via amazon link from 6gc, it's cool to be able to support the site and get to feed my habit at the same time haha. i may have to get a little point and shoot from amazon too i've been using my wife's cannon and its too big to run around with i'm am afraid i'm gonna break the lens or something.

LOL...Any time man!

I've been tring to take a lot of pictures to put together some how to's for future refrence. but for now just a couple of pics of where i'm at tring to get measurements and fitment stuff sorted.

[JasonTX]

more amazon parts and more fitting and putting it back together this evening. felt like pretty good progress for an hours work.

[JasonTX]

same old story just putting in a few minutes whenever i can spare em,






i feel like i'm not making too much progress atm, hopefully i'll have some more exciting pics to post for next time

[JasonTX]

with all the delays with work and life i'm not gonna be ready as quickly as i thought so i'm gonna change up my plans a little, now i'll be tearing down a block to build

I love the work that you are doing on the engine. Its going to look lovely when you get installed in the car.

It looks practiacally brand new.

thanks

got a couple things today.

i bought a similar rainguard a couple of years ago from a guy here on the forums last one was engraved though. sold it but descided i wanted another one and these look almost the same as the last one i had. The aluminum is a bit rough rougher it'll need some polishing and deburring, but overall i think its pretty good quality and maybe a little thicker?



still waiting on a couple of parts so i can take the rotating assemby to get balanced

a couple more things

rod and main bearings came in friday and clutchmasters package was at the shop when i got in this morning

[JasonTX]

been out for work most of the summer but a friend is letting me use his hangar and lift to store my car so i have been carving out a couple of hours on monday evenings to do a little work on this project. here are some pics and a review of the last couple of months of work.



block assembeled, had it balanced, acl bearings, wiesco pistons, eagle rods and arp main and rod bolts



Toda flywheel and arp bolts



Head assembeled, stock cams, ferrea valves and enge springs



arp head studs and oem headgasket



Head, oil pump installed


oil baffels in

water injection nozzels



distribution block


holes drilled in intake manifold


assembly



installed on head

[JasonTX]

went with the drift motion(left) oil feed and drain fitting over the kinugawa one



fitting installed




turbo, vave cover and misc lines installed and test fitting heatshield to clear the lines

reinstalled it several times but not very happy with the way the timing belt looked but i think it may have something to do with the aftermarket cam gears. i guess i'll know for sure once i start it. anyone else have similar experiences when using the ats machined gears?







berk dp



plugs and wires

[JasonTX]

Harness getting a little repair and rewiring



all back together



and plugged in with the intercooler and some of the remaining bits that needed fitting





a couple of pics of the oil feed and return lines

[JasonTX]

finally ready to get the old motor out and get the new one in










thats about where it sits now. i'mm plugging everything in and bolting it back to get it running. still only have mondays from 3-5ish to work on it though. hopfully that will be enough time to get it going before winter.

Congrats man! That's motiving me, can I come see if when u work on it next?

[enderswift]

Oh my god you've been holding out on us! Such a clean build!

I really like how you handled the water injection. Aren't you concerned the nozzles are too close to the chambers? And how are you controlling the flowrate?

sure man. i'm not there a scheduled time just when i can break away from work on mondays till around 5 since its 100 mile trip back to the house. i'll text ya and let ya know when i'll be there next

thanks, Not holding out though just not at home much with my summer work schedule. i took a lot more step by step pics but posted these mostly as a review of what i've done since april. Eventually i'll go back and do how to's and part numbers for individual parts of the build.

i actually wanted to move them closer to the base of the manifold and get it right at the head. But the way the runners are cast, some of the other stuff gets in the way. Ive read different theories about this and spent some time talking to Texas_ace, greg at aquamist, the other engineers at work and the aircraft mechanics over there at the hangar who do this with their ww2 era airplanes(btw check out the lone star flight museum for some cool examples of ww1 to modern aircraft and the texan crews that few them.)

It seems that nozzle placement is largely gonna be dependant on your goals. to cool the intake charge 1 nozzle after the IC and before the TB makes a lot of sense.(and saves a bunch of money) but equal distribution is a bit harder to achieve with that approach. Alternatively going direct port solves the unequal distribution problem but at much greater cost and with only marginal gains and a good chance that the water wont have enough time to absorb sufficient kiloJoules of heat to convert into steam before the combustion chamber. But because the intake track is very short with the TMIC and this is primarly a knock suppression system i went direct injection with small nozzels so that in a tuning situation i dont have to worry about insufficent supression in 1 cylinder and oversaturation in another.

as far as flow rate i was at first thinking progressive controll but read some intresting stuff about pump stall at lower current with progressive controllers on shurflo pumps(which i have) so i'm connecting the selenoid and pump to a simple switch and going single stage. I'll post the link if i can find it

Would you be interested in selling the 5s? I spun a rod bearing at the beginning of the month, I need another 5s to toss into mine.

sorry bud, the old motor is going in a turbo rav project i have lined up after this one
