alright well i put the car up around august or so and made this thread 1692 as i said in that thread that i had plans of building the motor and trans over the winter and doing a high compression 16g setup like tom n's but plans changed a lil.... i found a 20g for cheap on here with an external tial 38mm on the o2 setup, im still doing a magnus 9:1 with scat rods and bs removal motor though. i also plan on doing some suspension, as of right now i have a whiteline 24mm front and a 26 mm rear siting in the garage and im probly gonna go with k sports for stiffness and strutbars to match. i might to a full bushing kit if not ill def do some of them.
i am very partial to build threads i find them to be pretty cool, i also like to see something take shape from what it was to what it is. my car may not be the "sickest" GVR4 ever but like i said i enjoy build threads and critical comments are wanted! i will constantly be doing/buying things and taking pics and posting up on here for the build up.
so here we go!! i started off with pulling the motor in early october
then i broke down the motor to a shortblock/bareblock. soon enough i will be sending the motor out to be bored .020 over and the crank to get polished.
well after that i had no money so.... i cleaned! the engine bay that is. i have some before pics in the begining you can tell when you hit the afters... the bay had an engine coating on it that looked like s*%# because it had started to yellow, i got most of it off except for around the shock towers. but if anyone has successfully gotten it all of i would like to know how!!!
then came the turbo and the o2 housing, both were used and the turbo has no shaftplay!!!
next i bought some cosworth valvesprings from jesse, thanks again! cosworth says these things are good to 13k... but ill only be reving to 8500.
and just recently i got a bunch of random parts, scat rods, oem waterpump, and a topline oil pump.
as of right now im getting ready to send the trans out to tre for the stage 2 build with steel shiftforks and a speed design 4 spider center diff!!!
