Cool. That engine looks tiny when compared with the amount of room the old 1.8 took up!

LOL! looks like a Preg Valver in the background!!!!!

Lookin good fella. WHHHOOOOOOOSHHHHH TICHHCCCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHH!!!!!!

 

[DTWD]

I take it all the engine bits and bobs arent in yet right?

Cos that engine is quite a bit smaller than my 1.4 8v E engine.

Near enough done just need the HKS air filter on and the heatshield and I think thats it done engine wise, but your right it does look tiny!!

 

[DTWD]

But that size will be better. No more worries of having to drop it out when wanting to do anything even minor. Will run a lot cooler, and as turbos tend to get hot, its a bonus. Hopefully the year after next (when i finish uni) i will be the proud owner of something similar.



Paul

ps Is that the paint the car came in? It looks ace

 

[marcus cliogtt]

The bay was re-painted while the engine was out, its silver with a blue metal flake!!

 

[Clart]

Looks nice mate well done. I thought it was ready this week?

 

[DTWD]

No, I dont mean the engine bay, I mean the rest of the car.



Paul

 

[marcus cliogtt]

The rest of the car is subaru wrx blue with a blue metalflake! My be ready this week need to speak to Dave @ torsion see how its going!

 

[BRUN]

very nice mate, very nice

 

[BenR]

lol...is that a hayned manual on the roof!?

 

[Red16]

looks well smart mate, doin a good job there, keep the pics coming.

what spec is the engine?

 

[DTWD]

Yeah and with the specs, can you give us an aproximate price idea? As I said, I am looking at this in about a year, so it would be nice to get an idea of how much I need to save up. I know TT are asking about 1k to do the work and you provide the engine, but I know nothing else. Like how much would it cost to rebuild the engine etc.

not bad but y a 1.4 ? the 2.0 williams could take a 2.o 16v lump so y not go for a 2.0 16v turbo block out of the vel satis - the one im building will be a hell of a lot quicker with greater tuning potential. It goes straight in ( u have to chisel a bit out of the bulk head so the turbo will fit in the engine bay ) but the power to weight ratio will be unreal. You have to fit the vel satis ecu and wiring loom but thats no big deal. R- SPORT will even programme an ecu up to improve the 250 bhp standard.If you change your mind and want a 2.0 turbo unit let me know - i can get them cheap.

 

[BenR]

put the 172 head on with the turbo exhaust cam.

But there were concerns over the height of the F4R unit in it, although its not the 730 with its inlet manifold.

Every mechanics bible lol!!

As for the tech spec this is what I could remember probably bits missed off:

Full set of SFS hoses
Magnecor Leads
Tarabusi pistons and liners
Lighten and balance bottom end, including taken 3.6kg off the flywheel and harmonicaly balancing front Pulley, crank, rods, flywheel and clutch!
Uprated Clutch
Grp A headset with uprated bolts
Forge front mount intercooler with hard piping
Uprated engine mounts
Low temp stat
Low temp fan
Copper Core Rad
Braided oil hoses
Braided turbo feed
Kevlar Heat Shield
2x4" titanium tipped backboxes

Went for the 1.4 lump as with the 2.0 lump fair enough you can get 250bhp, but if it goes wrong it will cost a fortune to get it fixed such as if you do the 16 pistons, where as with the GTT lump you can get off the shelf performace parts.

 

[mikesclio]

all this work, just curious, how quick will it be? im guessin very, but could do with a smile!

 

[powelly]
