Amjad Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 Awesome! Need to get me one of those boost controllers! Does it have a Turbo timer function?You know you said you got the geometry done at Avia Auto? How much did they charge if you don't mind me asking? Did they give you a spec sheet with the measurements at all? Quote
Taggy Posted March 21, 2012 Author Posted March 21, 2012 That model doesnt have a turbo timer, but there is one that does. The geometry has been different prices the 3 times i have had it done, it really depends on how difficult your suspension is to undo it its on coilover. Mine were seized on so last time i spent about £150, most of that was spent whacking my coilovers lol, but then another time it cost me about £50.He charges by the hour hes working on it to do it, so as long as he can undo them easy it usually done within an hour. I am afraid he doesnt give you a spec sheet, but i am sure he could print off the measurements if you wanted. I just never asked, hes a nice fella. Quote
wssoR Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 Gizzmo ebc's are crazy bright, i tucked mine down below the steering wheel, them things will give you epilepsy!! Quote

Billy SR Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 is a certain someone ready to drop a 5e in ;) Quote
Taggy Posted March 22, 2012 Author Posted March 22, 2012 Only way i can afford to get the 5e in at the moment is if i can get some used forged pistons and rods, anyone know any one selling some? Quote
Taggy Posted March 23, 2012 Author Posted March 23, 2012 Ah fuck it, 5e forge it is! Whats a bit of debt eh!! Why rock around castle combe in a 4e when you can go mental and forge the bloody thing! Quote
Taggy Posted March 23, 2012 Author Posted March 23, 2012 my bank balance is gonna sting after this one! Quote
_shaun_ Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 good to see your taking the plunge to forge it now. hopefully they find your 5e guide and get that up and running again Quote
Taggy Posted March 24, 2012 Author Posted March 24, 2012 they have told me that its been lost when the database crashed, I am gutted! I have to rewrite the bloody thing.Well ill start a new one continuing on with the 5e build, so it can help anyone else who wants to make their own engine. It was really daunting to start with but i am starting to get my head around it now Quote
Browner Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Looking well dude. Done a few bits to my own boxy this weekend too must put the pics up tyed with the idea of a trubo conversion but the rasp off the n/a's are class! Quote
Taggy Posted March 26, 2012 Author Posted March 26, 2012 In a moment of madness i have ordered all the forged parts i need new.So just ordered the pistons, rods and bottom end bearings and a full engine gasket set, just waiting for them to turn up and I can take the block down the machine shop then to get it rebored to 74.5mm. I'll get them to clean it all up and while they are at it they can polish my crank for me too.Only thing i need then to stick it together is a new sump and pickup (mine has got a huge dent in it!) and while its all apart I might rebuild the head too.Oh and i still need to sort out somthing for the 5e clutch, i want to try and get my 4e flywheel to fit, so will see if they can re-machine the flywheel for me.This is gonna keep me busy for the next few weeks!!

_shaun_ Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 u just going for the stock 4e head on it? if u could give me a shout with a rough price for what u paid for the machine work that be helpful Quote
Amjad Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Yeahhhhhhhh! I think people use the 3e flywheel or something so they can still use a 4e clutch?Will this be run in and mapped by the Spring action day? Quote
Taggy Posted March 26, 2012 Author Posted March 26, 2012 Yeah it should be, although running it in is gonna take a while, i heard some people say you have got to do a 1000 miles to run it in!!Yeahhhhhhhh! I think people use the 3e flywheel or something so they can still use a 4e clutch?Will this be run in and mapped by the Spring action day? Quote
