hi all, just a quick one. engines coming along, got a few pics--



hoping to be in and running by the end of the month

just got to run it in for 1000miles = not much boost, its gona be hard
:o

the spec is- 87mm wisco pistons for a gen2 eclipse turbo, balancing shafts removed, ported/polished head,eclipse turbo metal cometic head gasket tomie cam pulley, fidenza ali flywheel, act street clutch(able to hold around 440lb/ft torque) , all vacuum pioping replaced with silicone pipe.
also installing a larger intercooler (same width, but around 3x as deep :D ), intercooler water spray(boost operated) and my large turbo( see other post- garrett turbo) hope fully not too laggy, hoping the lightened flywheel will help build revs quicker- thus building boost quicker??????

oh well, just thuoght i would share alll this with you guys.
:beer

after run-in, new injection system will be fitted :D :D

yummo,
thats... shiny!! :drool:

eat off it, just so you can say you did.. :P

Wow that looks fantastic, what did you use to clean the pulley guard?

looks a little too clean lol

not too sure what was used to clean it???? i think it was pro cleaned, as the guy who is building it builds f1 engines for a job and he cleaned it at his work.


yer, it is lovely and shiney, trouble is i got to get the rest of the bay to match
talk about never ending

few more pics

cleaned tbi and new vac pipes


twin fans


no engine !!!!!!!! yet


abs unit removed, s/steel line put in place.

busy cleaning 19 years of dirt from the engine bay now

a few more bits;

sleepy eye kit installed,


air diverter made and fitted.

wow thats really nice mate well done! :beer

what car are those twin fans from?

i think they are from a ford sierra sapphire cosworth. they are spot on the right width. look almost factory :D

looking nice man, keep us up to date!

you reckon i could run it in with this????????? lol rofl


all joking aside, its nealry there. final comp ration turnt out at 8.42:1,
which should make it a bit nicer to drive off boost, and combined with the ally flywheel, should make it quite responsive :D

THE ENGINES IN :D :D :D

still a bit to do, but it is running.
heres some pics of it being put together, and on the hoist ready to drop in;


nice aluminium flywheel and cam pulley


inlet and clutch fitted(sorry its a bit blurry)


cam cover and ex manifold fitted

hoping to gewt some pics today of it in the car.
