http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/...1/100_0025.jpg

http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/...1/100_0037.jpg

also stripped all rocker covers ,inlet mani fuse box basically anything that can be sprayed so must get some primer and get that started

next weekend engine gearbox clutch and lsd is coming out and the head is coming off to get a new h/g and some arp bolts

after that its sell a few bits and get some more parts for the build once i have everything my car will go out and get engine taken out the bay sprayed and hopefully a big garrett turbo with external waste fitted

ROLL ON NEXT WEEKEND :) :)

UPDATE 16/07/2011

well most of the work done now its up to me to get some new parts now before i can go any further really will be doing a lot of cleaning and tidying up of parts now until i get sorted ,would like to sell a few bits really to free up some cash for new parts

looking for motec/haltech ecu and gt2871r turbo there the two major parts really only need fuel pump injestors small bits then :)

the challenge ahead
http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/...1/100_0065.jpg

no fancy garages for this build ha ha

http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/...1/100_0069.jpg

http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/...1/100_0097.jpg

http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/...1/100_0096.jpg

marking shims

http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/...1/100_0092.jpg

here is where we found an issue now im no engine builder but surely using two different type of valves is not common practise lol

http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/...1/100_0095.jpg

http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/...1/100_0094.jpg

http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/...1/100_0093.jpg


plan is to either use my head on the na car or else source two valves ,must decide soon as its holding us up ha ha


27/07/2011

just a few parts i picked up

arp bolts
ik22 plugs
cometic head gasket
walbro fuel pump
garrett 2871r turbo :)

http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/...1/100_0115.jpg


UPDATE 30/07/11

ok took one step forward and about five back today ha ha , got the engine out of my own and got ready for painting the bay which will happen next week but the garett 2871r turbo is a no go :( with the design on my manifold the tubo just wont fit its too close to the block and fouling in loads of places so im going to have to settle for the td04 FOR NOW !!!

just going to get her set up see what she makes and look into getting a full new kit custom made to suit a massive tubby im absoulutely gutted as ill struggle to make 300 hp now but its only for the time being :(

on the plus note found a lovely lightened flywheel and exedy clutch in the car that i didnt know about :) so have shit loads of parts again for sale will make a donedeal ad tmw :)

going priming the bay monday and sorting a few small niggles

update 06/08/11

going for ford thistle purple and to contrast it the rocker and all fuse boxes inlet mani etc are going a bright lime green ,i want the bay to be totally different so why not ha ha

http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/...1/100_0198.jpg

fitted trd mounts today along with clutch and re sealed the sumps which was a complete disaster of a job

went to fit engine and it went downhill after nearly an hour of fu**ing about we decided to leave it and come back next week with a fresh start too late in the day to be dropping gearboxes and ripping prop shafts lol
http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/...1/100_0209.jpg

http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/...1/100_0211.jpg

http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/...1/100_0204.jpg

still waiting on parts for engine so did a few small jobs today

fitted new steering wheel and took out the rpm defi in the pillar pod and replaced it with the wideband gauge which is being tigersealed in as its 52mm and defis 60 mm lol but fits nicely now after a bit of butchering bt:)

http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/...1/100_0223.jpg

got wheels on fronts are perfect may even run a 3-5 mm spacer when lowered rears definitely need work but there not so bad

http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/...1/100_0221.jpg

http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/...1/100_0220.jpg

http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/...1/100_0215.jpg


update
forgot my camera but the engine is now in at long last all lined up and ready to rock , need to re seal the rocker cover and fit timing belt etc but the hard work is behind us , next up is gaskets and fit turbo kit intercooler etc and hopefully get her fired up on the standard ecu before we attempt to fit the haltech ha ha

mostly electricial and cosmetic parts to be fitted then :)

here is what was left of the doner car ha ha we smashed it pretty good :) we had a 320 bmw that we were messing in and got carried away and decided to have a destruction derby lol

http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/...9-23153637.jpg

17/10/11

engine is finished :) just need to set the timing tomorrow and fit all the sprayed covers etc , didnt take much pics but today we
fitted the rear strut brace
walbro pump which is tricky enough much harder than a starlet anyway lol
re sealed rocker cover cover gasket
fitted gear knob
sorted wideband gauge
sorted the brakes with new fluid etc

tomorrow should see all the covers ,inlet mani on ,possibly turbo kit ,front mount and rear arches chopped :)
getting there now and its about f**king time

the face of the valve makes no difference to it lad. all u want it to do is allow fumes out and once its seated correctley all is good
