RobMacs Forged/Sleeved B18 'Going Turbo' Glanza V
Glanza Mac replied to Glanza Mac's topic in EP91 Glanza Progress Blogs
Had my bumper resprayed :-) Need to Polish the rest of the car to match but it's the newer shade of 040 as the car will be having a Respray :-) Cadwell Park Unfortunately didn't go as planned. My nsf cv joint started to vibrate so I think the locking ring has split so the bearings where not going to stay in there long as it has happened before but I got a few pictures of it on track Plans for dss cv joints or complete shafts to be made for it as the standard ones just can't cope Rob.- 983 replies

Yeah pretty gutted but turns out the engine wasn't sleeved either like it was sold to be but no unfortunately no refund on the engine as it was second hand previously used before me but not to worry. It's my 6th engine in this and no doubt it won't be the last :-P Rob.- 983 replies

So.. As some may know the forged engine let go :-( As you can see, it made a mess. Assumption is that the engine wasn't built to correct tolerances and cylinder number 4 had spun a shell due to the rod bolts not being torqued up as I can't even find the missing arp bolt and as the pictures show that the crank had flattened off which then ended up with the crank grabbing the rod and smashing it to bits.. Bad times. Anyway onwards and upwards :-) Out the engine went As did the abs New shifter bush's Cut a long story short, a stock b18c4 engine was bought, so was a race s- 983 replies

Thanks mate :-) I like k20's but I'm sure this thing finished will be more than enough but if it doesn't work/perform well with alot of boost then I would consider the K20 route or a b18c on tb's :-) Rob.- 983 replies

So the car is now on the road :-) Found a fair few problems that needs to be sorted with one main one being that my fuel pump may be on its way out as it will only go up to 2.5-3 bar of pressure so I'm really under fueling on acceleration, fpr adjusted many many times and makes no difference, blocked off the return and still the pressure will not increase so a new larger pump will be ordered, possibly an aem 320lph pump but it's nice to just have it out of the garage atlast :-) Few pictures from yesterday Rob.- 983 replies
