ktl Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I dont think I've ever posted a picture of me motor on here so i'll start a progress thread. here it goes.Brought the motor in feb 09 which was located in Birmingham (3hours drive for me). mods: Jasma exhaust,hks bov.As soon as i brought her home i was on a lookout for wheels. Managed to find some wolfrace alloys, not my favourite choice but got them for a bargain.I then did the basics such as flat blades wipers,debadge,a quick detail over, 8K hids.I then sourced a ngk grade 7 sparkys,hks actuator,fpr,hdi intercooler, sps manifold,sps decat,hdi bc and was away at 1bar running 172hp.I then wanted more power so i brought a GT hybrid off Enzo, back to the tuners and got 186hpThen pop the headgasket went on the rollers. My man Turboflow aka Owen did a headgasket changed but it popped again on the way to Santapod so suggested to go forged. So we went down to Burwash (tm developments) to get my bits. wiseco 74.5 low com pistons,scat rods,exedy organic clutch,acl bearings,new thermo,oil pres sensor,headbolts, and the rest from toyota. Hes still got the pictures on his camera of the new engine going in etc.But heres a picture ofthe clean forged engine in and runningI then brought a Gizzmo boost controller and BC coilovers from Burwash.I then got some new pictures with my new slr camera up with the bumper being all smoothed off where the cut out was. Wheels sprayed White. I then wanted more power so i went and brought a JAM Racing ECu. Off to the rollers and pushed the tubby to 1.1boost and got...209hp, 210torque.picking up some Cobra Bucket seats this week.I'v missed a few bits out such as harnesses,hks ssqv and gauges.. minor stuff.hope you like, I've enjoyed every bit of it.ktl Quote Link to post Share on other sites
