ok so iv got engine out and in currently in the process of a rebuild/upgrade.

combustion chambers 45cc

piston dish 15cc

piston dish after machining 13cc

got steel h beam conrods

arp head, main caps, flywheel and rod botls/studs.

ballanced bottom end

lightend the flywheel from 9kg to 7.5kg

big oil pump

acl race bearings through out

head now has 45mm inlet and 38mm exhaust valves. (standard is 42 and 36mm)

wonder what the bill will be lol

finally got driveshaft ballanced! only needed a small weight on one end!

gearbox is getting rebuilt also.

so its possible that it might stop leaking oil out of all the seals lol.

just finished porting the head to suit the new valves. few pics.

all together and running. got a run in tune today. thanks to john for helping sort it.

145kw atw on 8psi. good results. super safe tune with no timing. much more advance to be had.

no breathing what so ever so new pistons are doing the trick.

was 135kw on 8psi before, different dyno tho so yea. . .

time to do some kms now!

installed the new 880cc injectors(was 550cc), so much fuel on tap now. sickness. new map senser to increase boost above 22psi and i will be sorted.

interesting to note, did a quick spin up the road. the fuel curve is no way a percentage change accross the whole map when changing to different injectors.

off boost was about -40% while on boost was about -20%. (roughly obvisously)

also a new 1 bar wastegate actuator is providing a rock solid 14.7 psi of boost with much improved spool time over the stock vf36 one.
