Tyler06 266 Posted March 15, 2013 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. Engine- 86da block 11.8/1cr EF crank 200 rods arp studs with acl pistons to suit Crow solid 647 with .596' lift Jp timing gears and chain C1 head with major work All crow springs retainers etc Yella terra adj rockers aussiespeed mani QFT 650dp R/series Msd 6350 proggrammable XF Tfi dizzy DC ewp80 85a alt ATI super damper Slightly modified Hurricane off the shelf extractors 3" straight through exhaust dumped B4 the diff Driveline- Stage 2 kitted C4 B&M Deep pan with temp gauge Allfast 4400 custom 8" convertor Derale Cooler Just six performance built custom diff with 28spline spool and 4.11 gears Just six performance 5stud and big brake upgrade all round Custom 3" tailshaft with spicer yokes Other mods- Custom dash and gauges B&m mega shifter Hidden wiring andbattery relocated 17" AU S1 XR8 rims Lowered 3" all round Well that basically sums it up up until now but its gonna change in a few areas very soon. Heres a few pics and a vid of her on the dyno. Feels good to start a new build thread lol. Bit messy but you get the idea- Engine Bay- How she sits and rear need the extra clearance trust me lol - Her ass and the T is on the back because i told my son (Tyler) it will be his wen his old enough and he just wanted to make sure i remember lol - Ass again but just showing the 235's look sweet but cant go any wider and they still dont hold traction at all haha. Front end- Underneath- And my last dyno run ;-) 2 Mixalis and vessv2009 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

'Nova 997 Posted June 5, 2013 So I've read this before and thought I'd already commented, obviously I hadn't! My dad had one, we sold it last year to a young girl for her first car! His was the reverse colour of yours! Will always have a soft spot for this! One of my good mates ZGMitch302 still has his first one! Bright orange 250, 4 speed wagon! Anyways, just thought I'd show some affection! 1 Mixalis reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
