Engine complete!! UAS has been working a treat and finished my engine ready to drop into the Z Twin feed fuel rails looked good - should be nice and stealthy Gtx2863r turbos attached nicely and oil/water lines all hooked up. Can't wait to see this bad boy fired up "brief" engine specs for those that missed out or can't read previous lol 88mm pistons Eagle rods Heads extensively ported 1mm ferrea valves JWT400+ cams JWT valve springs ARP main and head studs Cometic head gasket GTX2863R turbos AMS manifolds New lifters New oil pump New water pump New thermostat New timing belt New gaskets New clutch fan New sump New NA power steering pump
Looks awesome mate similar specs to mine except the turbos and your extensive head porting (wish I had it done now). I put a road tune in mine the other day it's a bit laggy due to conservative timing and boost controller not set up but once it's on boost it REALLY hauls ass at @ 18psi (seems to be my minimum) I'm getting about 12psi @4000 rpm will be good to see how yours goes.
Good stuff ! So your expecting more power/ response from yours when the boost controller is set up ? I'm also looking forward to seeing what my set up can do to. Be nice to see if the GTX turbos are as good as they are claimed to be
Well initial run in tune won't have incredibly high numbers . I'm more wondering where my torque curve sits and how responsive it is
I'm expecting it to spool a bit better with some midrange timing. The boost controller is feeding air onto the wastegates all the time at the moment so once I set it to stay closed until desired boost is reached (24psi) that should help some. I think I need to check my cam solenoids are working as well.
Yeah that would have been it - taking the zed up this weekend - then not to long after that hopefully - Also a interesting note, I have retained stock intake piping but am going to run dual intakes in the SMIC positions
Cars at UAS Yeah your where I got the final nudge I needed to go with the idea!! Trailered the car up to UAS today. 5am start bleck! Scrapped my rear bar getting it off the trailer ! Screw you wings west rear bar and lowered super streets. But glad to have it there not long and I can start sharing the fun part and some numbers/pictures and results
Engine in As title says the engine is finally back in , some things connected back up , new clutch and flywheel in. Doesn't it look nice and shiny lol
Oh,. I kept stock intake piping. Funds started getting tight and I don't buy into the whole hype over larger intake piping. If I was going to go bigger it would have been 3" like black beasts so there is no transition at compressor inlet
Thanks mate , the painted timing covers help it look clean so do the polished bits lol. And this engine hasn't been started yet and everything on it is new appart from the intake pipes and engine mounts lol Had a look at yours and its not to bad either ;p
