Fitted my Tein springs

‎33mm on the back with out the top rubber helper in, fronts 35mmm.. probs looks more level on a flat surface! (Y)

 

[frank]

assembled the new crank into a *ahem* suitable block
the shells are graded at the factory and this assembly turned out to be a bit too snug (2kg of pull to turn it)
so we,ve applied some G3 cutting paste and spun it.........a few times
micropolished journals FTW

 

[Machi san]

Wow cg looks weird! Not see one without the sump before. That's one hell of a girdle, the crank looks fairly well supported!

 

[Machi san]

[Machi san]

Nice one Frank, now get boosting!

 

[frank]

Nice one Frank, now get boosting!

i,ve gotta go to the yards and find a suitable bov and intake pipe yet kev :grinning:

 

[karlj]

I've got one you can borrow frank until you source one

 

[airmike]

Fiat Uno turbo maybe?

 

[Machi san]

You don't need a bov

Not unless your running 2bar boost

Sounds better without bov imo

Pigeon
Although I do prefer my ssqv

 

[baguete]

Very nice Frank (Y)

With the turbo spinning, the oil return is pumping more oil then with the turbo aside?

ok guys, i,ll go bov-less then, chatter FTW eh :grinning:

 

[solarice]

Today : Finished ######ing about with the splitter (something thats been bugging me for ages) and decided to fiddle about in the engine bay.

Looking good frank, guess thats your intake all sorted.

 

[frank]

guess thats your intake all sorted.

pretty much kris
minor setback tho, the oildrain is too high up when using the crankcase breather (unless you have a topmount turbo) and its making the oil back up, and leak into the intake
so i,ll have to pull the sump tomorrow and fit a spout

You nearly got away with it haha. But if thats the only issue you have then you can still call it a win.

[Low Rider]

Nothing to see other than a standard bare head, inlet manifold, a couple of gaskets and 2 boxes with cam blanks in them. Pictures once done will be far more interesting....

 

[r-reg-sr]

er ? OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH YEEEEEESSSSSSSSS:grinning:

 

[karlj]

[frank]

I got mine off a saab for a fiver. works fine.
Looking good man! whats the plan for mapping? megasquirt? try the engine temp plug trick eh makes a massive difference, just dont run like that for more than a little blast or you will end up like me haha.

 

[frank]

cheers ed ghetto map no doubt, but i have a vafc if needed

 

[Machi san]

Lol sounds brutal is it detting its mars off?

It's upto you on bov but defo run it recirc if you can. Most modern turbo engines will have a plastic bosch recirc valve

Just so you know, my drift car has been running 14psi on stock turbo for 3years no trouble and the compressor wheel is ceramic

[frank]

had to drill the sump george :doh: (the pic in post # 1426) i was hoping to avoid that sh###y job by using the crankcase breather, but the return pipe has to point downwards on these tubs else they piddle ot of the bearings.
going back to N/A has given me a chance to compare this CG t/b with the SR one
