renfrewshiremod_craig Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Hi guys I am about to start building a forged engine for my glanza being a mechanic myself i am goiny do it myself was just looking for any major tips or anything to help. I have reciently bought a N/a engine which i aim to pull to bits and use the block crank and head as a base. I am thinking of buyin a package deal i saw which consists of : Wossner forged pistons (thinking 75mm)ZRP forged connecting rods Athena MLS steel headgasket ( not sure 1.2 or 1.4?)ACl main bearings and thrust washer set Calico coated ACL big end bearing setAs i have as much time as i need to build it anytips about the head? Different valve's ? Cams? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Measure everything if you want a nice blueprinted engine is the advice I'll give. Also make sure to get it static and dynamically balanced as this will reduce the wear on the bearing shells. Take your time and double check everything. Wouldn't bother with going for different valves or cams unless your looking to crack 350+bhp. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

renfrewshiremod_craig Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 I live in glasgow and my aim was 350bhp on a vf34 billet scroll hybrid Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 You got a flow map of that turbo? Anything which you can run around 1.7 bar you'll most likely benefit from some cams. Oversized valves aren't needed until around the 460bhp mark. You'll also be better off going with some uprated valve springs and some head studs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renfrewshiremod_craig Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 The turbo my mate has just bought brand new from a company up my way and was planned for his imprezza but turns out its not big enough for his build. I am goin to see the company who forged his scoobie tomorrow and see what tips and if they can help with the block Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Fair enough, someone over on TGTT just got hold of a billet VF35 and he said that spools up around 500rpm quicker and is one of the best turbo's he's used. What is it you need to know pal? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
