Finally It's Going In

[Gee]

Dropped my car off for me rebuilt engine to be dropped in.

Main interesting bits are:

Pauter Rods
Ross 74.5mm forged pistons
NST lightened and balanced underdrive crank pulley
Cruise valve springs
Speedvision 1.2mm metal headgasket
Exedy paddle clutch
Power enterprise cambelt

Will be ran on a TD04L at max efficiency using the 'Dale' mild steel setup.

Please keep your fingers crossed for me guys.

Here are a few pictures:

[jamesgtturbo]

nice i bet you cant wait too run some high boost . are you running a lsd ?

 

[Gee]

Some say TD04L is only good for 1.4bar...some run 1.7bar...we'll see on the day.

No LSD...and 14" rims at the moment...should be fun.

Now that IS a blast from the past!

The memories are flooding back, NI's first TD04 Starlet.

The cooler piping is so long because it was an auto I think. Was an animal on boost though with plenty of scalps taken.

Good luck with the new engine Gee. Hope it delivers what you want and then some! :rockon:

 

[steveep82]

Wow with me you and Wayne all running in fully forged 4es on td04s it will be a very interesting few weeks to come! Not sure if im going to punish mine with 1.7 bar though! Not with the oem headbolts anyway!
