  1. Overdue update....  Lots has happend and lots of changes.

    So a short period after fitting the new turbo kit,  Unfortunately my headgasket went and i was burning loads of coolant, I had Funny onion off the forum help me disassemble the head and strip to the block it look like it failed on cylinder 3 as bore was washed. overall everything else looked good, over the coming days i send the head off for a full rebuild new valve stem seals, valves re-seating, carbon removed and a skim. The head was very very slightly warped and 8 thou was removed. While the head was away i decided it would be a good idea to spray the engine bay and clean it all up as was not a huge fan of the silver. Once head was back we put it all back on no issues and car was back on the road again. 


    I thought my old oil catch can was letting the engine bay down a bit so i sent my rocker cover to RWDevelopments for AN10 fittings and a new catch tank. Also put a Civic rad in too as the old was was corroded and looking a bit crap, once everything was back together it looked like this.

    that's the most comprehensive diagram with pictures that i know of

    hopefully its of some help to you

     

    based on the key...it seems pictures 55 and 56 may be on interest to you 

    Cheers mate but its a tad different but very informational. I need the EP91 diagram as its slightly different. thanks for reply though

  3. The information on this is so hard to find, Does anyone have a photo or a description of which wire is the negative one.  Or anyone who has wired an OMEX kit in throw me a message.

    I don't really want to go off the back of the ECU but if I need to I will. 

    Yes I know OMEX is bad! cheers haha

  4. Still need to hone a block when fitting forged pistons anyway.

    You'll need to have the valves measured to determine whether they need replacing. Measure the ID of valve guide, and OD of valve, this will give the oil clearance. If it's out of tolerance, replace both.

    I recently just had my head skimmed and rebuilt with new stem seals and all the valves reseating my head gasket went so got it done while it was off. block is getting done at my mates machine shop :)

  5. Looking at running around 280BHP on a TD04 (19-20PSI) , of course i already know about fueling, mapping ect just all the extra goodies for the main build. I wasn't planning on forging however my bottom end went this morning so no other choice really apart from a new engine but would rather forge it!



    Also normal OEM head gasket or 1.4mm athena gasket?



    Also do i need valves or am i good with stock?



    Let me know guys!



    Cheers
