Jozinobi Posted March 10, 2009 Author Posted March 10, 2009 Project Red EP91 5EFHE Rebuild UpdateThere was a small complication with the gearbox so it has to be taken apart and done again.The culprit was the spacer that goes behind the front diff bearing, it was too thin hence the lsd being aftermarket was a little too slack. Im glad this was found out and a selection of spacers have been ordered.This has held back getting the engine running however at least its going to be right.Goes to show that no matter how well prepared you are, a few problems will happen.The engine bay bits should be painted by now. l left the chu bits with my bodyshop and just waiting for the rest of the parts from Sheekey.I have also acquired a tin of satin black bbq paint for the block, 200C/400F should do the job.Overall Im still positive about the project and looking forward to it.Patience is a god damn virtue.

nic1.3 Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 hey mate lovely Mc Chu parts.its good news that the qearbox issue was discovered before any damage was done, better then having to rip it all out to do repair work,Nic Quote
Jozinobi Posted March 10, 2009 Author Posted March 10, 2009 Cheers NicGlad you like the parts man, I can't wait until they are on the car As for the gearbox it was all built up when the problem was found so it was pretty professional instead of just giving it back to me etc which any place could have done. The spacers are being ordered today and take 2 days to come in.The guy sorting my gearbox is also my emanage tuner, pretty impressed with his attitude and dealings.Im dying to fire this engine up but like everything I must wait.

Sparky Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Props to your tuner mate He knows Joz is serious about his motor and is making sure its right I respect that Godo things come to those who wait Quote
Jozinobi Posted March 10, 2009 Author Posted March 10, 2009 Cheers Lew Its all a waiting game bro...Nice to hear from you anyway man.Hope you're keeping well.Talk soon. Quote
Sparky Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Things are good bro, just waiting on this damn intercooler to come back in to stock, final piece of the Stage 1 puzzle Quote

Jozinobi Posted March 11, 2009 Author Posted March 11, 2009 Glad things are ok with you Lew Thanks Kevin, still a bit more work to be done but we'll get there Did you get a good look at the scoop, any differences?A big 'C' shaped package arrived earlier so just about to inspect it.Realistically there is a slim chance of the gearbox being ready by the weekend.So most likely I'll get it back next week.
