Hi,

currently yes but we are testing a electrolytic internal polishing process on the manifold you sent to me

Hi,

took some time to polish and calculate the volume of the combustion camber, ~48mL





and the shortblock should be back to me the next few weeks

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

Hi,

calculated CR is 8,8:1

awesome dude its all shiny great job

[Sunny]

Hi,

thanks folks

the buttom is finished



i had to grind a little bit to get enough space for the blacktop oil pump, but nothing dramatically

Hi,

lets have a look how much i can do this week, everytime that little problems like the correct key for the arp studs and i foudn a little space problem by the injector connectors and the rail so i have to grind a little bit

a intercooler is also on the way to me to solve the biggest question, what type of valvecover fit well......

but time heals every wounds

greetz

[Sunny]

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

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

damn spambots, what intercooler did u order sunny I am looking for another one but I am scared it wont fit like the last one i ordered

[Sunny]

Hi neon,

i use a uprated TTE group A spec intercooler on top of the engine

- custom pre radiator
- jabsco 80L/min pump
-TTE swirlpot

fuel cut when it is cold outside even without boost controller

best regards
Alex

Assuming that's the name of your mechanic, I hope it holds true.

Hi,

a few more little bits are done

a M5 thermocouple takes place, the problem was the M6 thread in the manifold so we gave'em a machining



here takes a AN8 fitting his place, truely a master of welding to get the fat fitting on the 0,8 pipe, respect



here i will built a heat shield



and the next steps are fuel press regulator and ISCV

sick sick build man! mucho respect!

[rave2n]

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!
