Well I've been hell slack on the forums latley, don't think I've posted in over a month, so here's a quick update coz I know ya'll missed me! (or at least raggin on me haha)

Here's some pics of the rebuild process, mmmm shiny stuff.

First, the block, honed and bored

Then, close up of exhaust ports after porting and polishing

The head all pretty and clean

My poor clutch, it didn't like 4wd launches much haha

and some shiny new pistons with teflon skirts and valve recesses, hopefull I won't bend another valve...though, knowing me :headspin:

ETA of about a month I guess, depends how long it takes Amaru to get a new cooler *hint hint*

Well, I just had land on my desk the turbo for Marks VR4... and holy mother of god its big :D Its a customised Garrett GT3071R and a big thanks goes to Luch from Tune Agent (www.tuneagent.com) for organising the turbo at an awesome price ($700 cheaper than GCG, and anywhere else locally!). I wont go into how much power it can make, but it is a reasonably sized turbo, and the final results should be very damn impressive :D

Anyways heres the pics...

thats pretty fricking big for such a small engine isnt it ??? will be interested to see what power you get out of it and how much boost you decide to run that thing should be able to handle a fair bit by the looks of it.

:rofl: I dont know if Mark wants to keep it secret or not, but it should be very well matched to the engine.

    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
    • Shimmed or shimless, still solid, no hydraulic pump up stuff.
    • They have said food will be limited. Mainly meat pies and sausage rolls from memory. But they have a coffee van!
