new engine-WARNING!!!! ITS BEEN STOLEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ukstariont3]

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

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

[Junkers]

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

[iXNAY]

looks a little too clean lol

[ukstariont3]

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

[artinist]

what car are those twin fans from?

[ukstariont3]

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

[decoy]

looking nice man, keep us up to date!

[ukstariont3]

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

[ukstariont3]

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;
