Good stuff, best of luck to all those with the new titles!

Cheers guys, planning to run 1.2 bar on this. The engine was built in a day, the cylinder head was assembled by an engineer as he ported and polished it, so we just had to bolt that on once the bottom one was together. Most of the time was spent waiting on parts!

Only one way to learn - give it a shot! An update from last couple of days.. Sump and a few other bits fitted Almost ready to fit New flywheel Fitted at late night! She is running and sounds sweet! Went for a little drive last night and the alternator packed in so that's next to fix.

Ma There's 2 types of Toms bumpers. One to fit early fogs which are more square and the other to fit the later fogs.

Looking forward to seeing this turbo kit fitted, it's been a long time coming! ;)

I imagine it would be awesome on track on a TD04! Engine won't be going in today as I'm waiting on a new timing belt. Gives is a chance to check valve clearances and fit the remaining few parts.

Sorry about the delay with these, my supplier had me waiting til yesterday. These will be sent out tomorrow, if anybody wants one at GB price please let me know and I can post it tomorrow. A few pictures below!

Welcome along!

Cheers Mark, I look forward to it myself. Not sure how much boost to run yet but I'll decide when it's on the road! Cheers Micky, the cam gears on the 4E/5E are the same.

You don't need the wings, just the headlights with bonnet and bumper.

Cheers Ed! The engine is now built, huge thanks to my mate Usman and my cousin Shaq for giving me a hand with it today. Pictures from the process.. New engine spec list so far: 5E-FHTE engine 4E-FTE pistons on FHE rods Mild ported & polished head Valves lapped Polished crank ACL bearings New OEM piston rings New OEM oil pump New OEM engine gasket set New OEM 3E flywheel New OEM distributor cap & rotor arm New water pump New oil pressure switch Zep 1.2mm headgasket ARP headbolts Spec 4E paddle clutch 4EFTE oil filter housing Polished cam cover (unfinished) Sm

Thanks Nomez, yes that's the price I sell them at. Shipping would be more to Ireland, however you're a returning customer so no extra shipping for you. Cheers Idrees

For some strange reason, they didn't. Brand new from TM-D too but no sheets in the box!

Cheers Lewis! Atleast you're back with another one mate, cheers! Should be there Inshallah! With this being my first engine build I really wasn't sure about ring gaps. All a learning curve ey! The gaps on the new piston rings are the standard recommended ones (0.48 for top ring and 0.57 for bottom ring from the top of my head)

Cheers More new parts! 3E flywheel and OEM oil pump Cam cover braided fittings ACL bearings & piston compressor, which means the build can begin when I have some free time!

I did the same to my old GT, although mine was just one piece that broke off! Looks like it was in a similar place to yours too.

Looks about right to, 12" is the ideal size too.

Loving the attention to detail, should handle pretty awesome with a good alignment setup now!

Sorry to hear this, thoughts are with his family and friends. RIP Gary Any idea how it happened Ryan?

Glad you're cracking on with it! Turbo and engine look awesome. Not sure about the White paint on the cylinder head though, black or silver would look much neater!

Good man Lewis, you're not giving up on this! I was doing some research on what power the stock internals can be pushed to and did find that the first things to give in would be the piston rings. I wonder if anyone makes uprated rings that fit the stock pistons? It may be something to look in to, ie. Totalseal or similar. Glad you managed to get home in the end, I'd have seriously offered you a drive down in the diesel as I was free this evening but it was away being valeted. How did you get home in the end then?

I think it went while it was being mapped. I gather that 3rd cylinder gave in at 1.4 bar.

Epic helmet!

Bang tidy!! ;)

Haha
