VR4 Update

[Mark]

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*

[PhantomS14]

Nice Mark, can't wait to see that thing back on the road.

I'll take your VR4 cooler then when Amaru gets a new one!

[leech_]

[Sinista32]

Where's the NoS!

I have stock GTST intercooler Mark.

[Aurora]

That's be smaller than the VR4 one he has on there now.

The VR4 Coolers are tops

[Mark]

Thanks Richard, but it may be a wee bit too small :wassup:

[oscar32]

Mark,

I think you should, with chrome

Nice work, can't wait to see it in action.

[Mark]

ROFL! Chrome, that's a mad idea.

I'll take some more pictures tomorrow, should have the cams etc there and hopefully assembled...*holds breath*

[Amaru]

Well, I just had land on my desk the turbo for Marks VR4... and holy mother of god its big 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

Anyways heres the pics...

thats very vry nice. now markus dont nlet this one go bye bye alright!

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.

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

stroked ??? anyways its probably best to keep it a secret either way looks like the buildup is for something with alot of power/boost :aroused:

[PhantomS14]

Damn!!! If the Hoff rates it it must be good!
