8k in parts... Yeah i think you could definately build an engine like that albeit maybe with some cheaper second handys these day and i think all parts could come from aus. If you and your dad think you can do it and you do alot of shopping around then go for it mate. Haters are gonna hate and in all honesty the only one putting a damper on your idea is someone that obviously doesnt have the time to read up before he states facts. Machining and such will cost you but if you set a realistic budget and then add another 25% on top minimum then your on the right track. Anyone that has built a Higher than normal HP engine or car knows that. I say good luck and go for it mate. P.S that XR is sick haha.

Something is wrong with Tapatalk ??? <br />Anyways im just gonna go back to working on my <150rwkw corty ;-)

Hey bro thats no good.How do you know it's not working? Is it set on the correct cyl setting is the limiter set at a sensible setting and tested under load?

farrrrrk piss that stock coil off. It's what makes ya spark man the, msd just gives it the juice.

So a guy shows up at my house today to get a diff off me and i open the shed, he says i have heard of this car (SNAIL ETR) big smile on my face. <br />Reason to keep going? I think so! In love again? I think so haha

Rightio so instead we should all run belt driven fans? Maybe a clutch fan? I much prefer knowing that my thermo runs as i want it when i want it! I didnt do it for the extra 5hp i did it for common sense but hey i also dont have a waterpump to bolt it to so maybe a bit of necessity not to mention my massive radiator that leaves me short of room. Jeez wat a dickhead i am :-/

Slydogs cortina????? Where lol

U love the lube lmao ;-)

Nah mate like John Holmes in Speedo's hanging out the top..

They are different lengths but unis are the same.

If you now have a bolt in dont wry mate.

Valves not closing completely and firing into the intake runners?

No completely different engine mate thats why my current engine is being sold with everything attached to it ;-)

Yeah time for a change in the engine department for me ;-) i need an engine in it that doesnt attract attention all the time lol<br />Def give the bottom end a freshen up mate. Oh and a 600 on an aussiespeed would be the go.

Bolt straight through the guts to stop as much flexing.

Hurricane extractors 3" system with straight through muffler and dumped b4 the diff on my solid cammed xflow.
Ps. Let me know if this works
 

Ok so thought it was time to start a new thread with my new engine build im gonna do. Think we have it sussed wat is up with my engine. See my problems only started when i sleeved my number 1 bore and changed my cam. Ive ruled out my cam as it checks out fine and my cam tunnel is fine. So that leaves my block with the sleeved bore. Behind the waterpump you can see a crack and wen i pulled it down it is clear it has emulsified oil on the crack but the sleeve should be the new master bore right? Well if they are bored too far down then they end up in the oil gallery and wen the engine warms ups the crack spreads and the pressures pushes the oil up the crack into the water gallery. Thus stopping oil from getting to the middle cam bearings and starving my top end as well making it noisy. So sleeve was installed wrong and is causing problems. So time for a new block.
New plans are to use Ross forged pistons that are 28cc and FG rods with the small end resized to suit the pistons. Machine the pistons down about 3mm or .118' and still have a shite load of meat. Will probaly machine less and have a positive deck height and up my comp and use an MLS headgasket. And also change my EVL valves to stainless ferrera units. So Basically a new stronger bottom end that can take it running leaner etc... I will be keeping everything else the same inc my cam for now haha
 
Anyways thats just an update for the peeps that know my car and for the rest this is wat she is atm.
This was all good for 272rwhp on a very safe tune, we made more but had to dial it back because it liked to run lean. We found out after this that i only had 9v going to my dizzy and after wiring it right she was a completely different car haha.
