Hey Everybody!
#996/2000 1991 GVR4
Apparently this car has been floating around for a while (and its no mystery why, you'll see) but now she's under new management and where I come from, if you do a job you do it right. This is my first 4g63t build so any input is greatly appreciated and thanks for checking it out!
The kid I purchased her from knew nothing except it was a 'built' motor with very low mileage and 'ran great'.
The Car has:
- Adjustable Struts (with stock springs or aftermarket springs that are stock ride height)
- New Clutch Master and Braided line
- Some sort of pedal rebuild kit
- Short Shifter
- Refinished Cylinder Head
- Mint Interior
- a Walbro 255
- HKS VPC
- Had an OEM 14g Turbo
- 3" Turbo back exhaust
The Engine:
- Found a missing dowel on the block so the bellhousing was missing a bolt
- The rear engine mount was loosely fastened with only one bolt into the engine
- The vibrations caused damage to the transfer case and causing problems with the starter making contact with the flywheel
- Spark plug from cylinder 3 was missing its electrode!
- The oil line banjo bolt was a regular bolt with holes drilled into it!
- Remarkably the cylinder head is immaculate and brian crower everything
- The block itself is bored out and has very nice internals (such a shame)
Whats been done:
- Pulled the engine to replace the bad block
- disassembled everything
- purchased a rebuild 2.0 block with Nippon rings, Clevite Mains and Rods, Polished Crank, Honed Cylinders, and Drilled Oil Holes
- Just got in new gaskets for everything
- Had trouble with crank bolt, couldn't get it off the old engine but don't plan on re-using oil pump anyway
Whats Happening now:
- Ordering new Head Stud Bolts
- Ordering new bellhousing bolts
- Ordering new oil pump
- Ordering AMG 3 piece replica
- and buying a sprung clutch, light weight flywheel, 16g turbo, and transfer case from the same dude i bought the small block from
- axle boots are torn and are being replaced
Interior:
- Has a momo knob and a deep dish wheel
- Staying the same except dyeing headliner black and installing a valor 7" pop up touch screen dvd/cd/usb/aux player
What has to happen before June 9th:
- Intercooler and plumbing
- Tune
- Suspension
- Maybe wheels
- Tint
- Maybe paint
Cylinder Head Sitting waiting for head studs
The exhaust, it's massive
The new block where the old block was damaged
new block
the missing dowel/threaded hole for the bellhousing fastener
damage done to the old clutch, it made some crazy grinding/scraping noises i never want to hear again
damage done to the transfer case (OUCH look at those missing spline teeth)
