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

Pretty awesome build Rob took a while to read all the pages the effort though 😫😂 but it was well worth it. Think im getting the hype for the Vtec again lol not sure about being a carbon nurd! 😉😁.Thought about a K20 swap in future or thats enough 😉?

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 :-)

As you can see my front bumper is currently black as I've just bought it with a mc chu carbon front lip so I now have carbon front and rear lip and sideskirts :-D just need the 98 spec bumper painting white and it should look pretty good :-)

More parts to arrive for more power..

Tial 50mm bov in black ordered from td

340lph td fuel pump bought and fitted

Injector dynamics 1000cc injectors bought

Magnecore ht leads bought to get by on until I source cop

Also I have slightly upped the boost to just less than 6psi and it pulls well :-)

Really need it mapped as I think it will be an animal!

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

Cut a long story short, a stock b18c4 engine was bought, so was a race spec rocker cover and a few other bits and bobs which will be posted up at a later date

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

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

Few bits of progress

Tial 50mm bov arrived thanks to Mike at td and now fitted :-)

Ordered an Id workz fibreglass boot, carbon fibre number plate surround and I've bought some cv joints :-)

Also polished and waxed the car with a 12 month coat, partly because of the weather changing but also because I've been offered a spot for show and shine in a show called Mimms Honda day, rather happy and honoured so want to do us Toyota lads proud :-)
