Nearly Finished My Engine.....


Recommended Posts

A few of you guys here know that for the last few months I've been busy rebuiling my engine after blowing the turbo.

I'd like to say a special thanks to Steve for all the info he's given me in the past weeks, without his help I'd still have a bundle of unresolved problems.

Oh and here's a photo of what I'm on about, enjoy........

FAT32,

O's Factory is a friendly name for a small collection of highly skilled engineers I know. These are the guys I turn to when I need to have some sort of special processing on a part, or bespoke manufactured items.

If you look closely at the breather holes in the cam covers, you'll notice that they have been tapped out to take a fitting. The fittings are being specially manufactured from billet alloy to suit.

Bass Junky,

I've still got a wish list that's about twice as long as the spec sheet :burnout:

Steve,

Needs to hit the road before the end of this week. I have a trip to the Isle of Man that I don't want to miss.

I've been working on it like a :ghost: since last week.

B-Man,

Two reasons really, one is that it didn't need doing, and the other is that it would take about the same budget again to do it.

I'm saving for it already and should the bottom end let me down I'll just have to fix it. :rant:

Awurth,

That list is witness to a growing obsession, it's been over three years in the making :)

But it fair adds up......

I started out with a NISMO exhaust, then I didi the suspension, then added a PFC, then the DoLuck bits, then I swapped the exhaust for the HKS, followed by the Flywheel and Clutch, and the recent demise of my stock turbo, has got me here.

It's a long road, but I'm certain it'll be worth it. I picked up my wheels from the refurb shop this afternoon, and should have her rolling tomorrow.

Can't wait :flower:
