I want that aluminum panel that bolts under engine bay looks so nice!! Great build can't wait to see it all come together. Patience is a necessity but it looks like its coming together great! A+ work on all custom pieces
You've done nice custom work again!! I'm very curious about the rest of the build..
Hi, Roy,

thanks, it was that housing you sent to me so one more thank you thumbsup.gif

Interesting upgrades as usual smile.gif Nice update on the intake manifold! That's the only modification you've done to it?
Hi,

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

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

greetz

Hi,

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 smile.gif

greetz

KEEP COOL UNDER PRESSURE
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

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 biggrin.gif

best regards

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!

What I think when you think I care
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!
