What to say. The time has come to share in pictures with the great re-build
![]() ![]() Primary target = rebuild the engine In fact engine it self was not any bad. But it do not mean everything was mint with the car/engine (as can be seen in some pictures later). ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Since my mechanic wolf_tm is super-precise person everything must be clean and perfect. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Almost everything in the engine was replaced by performance parts or new OEM parts. ![]() ![]() Of course also clutch was replaced by more durable one and flywheel was skimmed and balanced. ![]() ![]() So engine done... almost (done means "closed" ![]() This post has been edited by malpaso: Apr 22, 2011 - 9:19 AM -------------------- No more replicas...

Ferdi, you remember when driving in Switzerland I was complaining driving up-hill I would need more power sometimes to enjoy ride better? So I decided to make it double this time to be sure
![]() ![]() EDIT: Just read note above and realized it may look like I plan the engine with 500HP. To make things clear no I do not ![]() ![]() Paul, no one else but you knows how hard it is for me... You hear my complains how I miss my car almost daily ![]() Now... lets share bit more pic again... Time for turbine ![]() Sad is because of budget problems (and my stupidity in 2009) I needed to use turbine that has been bought for previous project. Now I would buy definitely some different but... Nothing is perfect. However as noticeable in one previous picture header skim was needed as well... ![]() ...and also small upgrade of the radiator. ![]() Here turbine it self and installation. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This post has been edited by malpaso: Feb 21, 2011 - 4:31 AM -------------------- No more replicas...

Cracking buddy, what have you paid out so far for this re-build? Honestly I'm afraid to calculate ![]() ![]() ![]() Hi Martin, looks liker very good ![]() when do you plan to pick your car up? greetz Not easy to say Alex. Probably in next 4-6weeks but who knows... "to do list" is still too long for predictions. Good job but with intake by caldina will be better ![]() Technical details are fully in hands of my mechanic. His opinion is untouchable for me ![]() good job broo! Thanks! Can not wait to see it... ![]() Just few more pictures... Engine management First plan was to use Motec but because of budget reason (as usual) in the end I have bought APEXi ECU for ST205. So no wiring issues at all and easier tune up. ![]() Also decided for wide-band sensor and A/F ratio gauge (so gauge no.5 since I already have boost, oil temp, oil pressure and EGT).... it will look like airplane cockpit ![]() ![]() ![]() This post has been edited by malpaso: Feb 22, 2011 - 6:10 AM -------------------- No more replicas...

Secondary target = to get rid of the rust
![]() During installation of stronger fuel pump issue with the rust has been found… From first sight it was not that bad but when fuel tank was removed everything was clear. That rust must go first. It is useless having perfect engine when can drop out from rusted body anytime. First run of new engine must be postponed until this is resolved ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() -------------------- No more replicas... This is evolution... This is SS-four :)

Wow thats alot of rust. How do you plan on takling that? Wire wheeled tools, and some paint perhaps? Yea... It makes me really desperate... there only way to replace what is in really bad condition, what is not that bad sandblast and cover with anti-rust paint. So far everything that can be removed from under-body is removed to find the right way what to do. ![]() Also as you can see was not possible to remove an arm from the crossmember because the rust jamed the pin inside ![]() ![]() This post has been edited by malpaso: Feb 25, 2011 - 3:58 AM -------------------- No more replicas...

Hi, i would advise to powder coat the parts as it is stronger ![]() greetz This is on my mechanic. He knows there is needed to remove rust and protect part from rust... also my problem is budget so also money talks. I really hope you can get that cleaned up without having to replace to much! Great work so far! Thanks a lot. I hope so... every more serious complication means delay and more costs ![]() oh my!!! Flawless work Malpaso, keep it up so far so good! Thanks. At last the "to do list" is short enough that worth to try write it down ![]() - take rusted parts to sandblaster - take them to painter - install them back (this will be in waves not all at once probably)... than after: - install downpipe (with wideband O2 sensor this time) - install turbo support - make and install downpipe support - make and install cold intake box - install trans shaft, rear diff and supports - install exhaust and... at last switch the engine on and make running for 30 minutes. - very first map check to avoid any detonation with stock PFC map - check wiring and Datalogit logs (especially O2 sensor) - check everything (leaks/levels/pressures etc...) - had a little trip to control boost controller is working That would be the moment I will travel to Italy and to follow with: - 1000 kms running in - change filters and oil - Dyno tune - recheck everything (leaks/levels/pressures etc...)
