WUZ Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 (edited) She's been running since December last year Peter.............................................. I'm just too busy making money to play. So your saying that all the time your block was with Chy and your car was off the road wasn't to do with engine/head issues? Just on the hunt for more power...................... addictive isn't it. Edited June 28, 2009 by WUZ Link to comment
fai17 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 You're always off shore making money My heads had more cracks than the moon so had to get a new/used phase avcs heads built up by Chy with new oversized valves. Hunting for more power is truely addictive as you know. What spec are you on now for reference? Link to comment
WUZ Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Just a slightly oversized 2.2 with a Small Garrett Turbo and some mildly played with heads Probably a consistent 450 in there................................... somewhere Link to comment
TrackScotland Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 dont think its the bottom end.... Started it up this morning and it was quiet! WTF!!! Gave it some gas and it started to make a racket again, and continued on idle. Sounds like something loose in the NS head. Suggestions on known problems with the heads/valve gear? Link to comment
Auldy Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 maybe a loose spark plug?? had one loose as forgot to tighten after service. made a hell of a racket Link to comment
simon_mcwilliam Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 (edited) I think RA Dunk is selling a brand new unfitted 2.1, well he was at the end of May, worth a pm Edited June 28, 2009 by Simmie Link to comment
TrackScotland Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 think he's changed his plans and is now using it again. Link to comment

cullenmin Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 but im back offshore just now and things look to be picking up again Nice 1 Dunk Link to comment
TrackScotland Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 new engine is in.... and just about ready to run. Rolled the rear arches too... not the neatest of jobs so will need to paint the insides of them. Old engine ready to be karted home and stripped/maybe rebuilt Will have the old IHI VF24 turbo and one of my spare sumps up for sale soon too Hopefully mapped by the end of the week - just about 340bhp for now as still on standard 440's. Fee's new engine swallows all my funds for toys for this :/ Link to comment
RA Dunk Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Excellent news Adam, wish i had the skills to build and fit mine myself , Whos doing the mapping for you? Link to comment
green_goblin Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Excellent news Adam, wish i had the skills to build and fit mine myself , Whos doing the mapping for you? Come on Dunk...get in about it yourself!! thats what im doing Nice one Trackscotland keep us posted on how all goes Link to comment
RA Dunk Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Come on Dunk...get in about it yourself!! thats what im doing If i had half an idea i probably would, Im good at taking things apart but kind of struggle putting them together again.............correctly! Link to comment
TrackScotland Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 hehe, i didnt build the engine. It was bought from a user on 22b, so a bit of a leap of faith :/ Wallace Performance fitted the engine, Russ will be doing the mapping. Link to comment
RA Dunk Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 PM Comming your way Link to comment
green_goblin Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 If i had half an idea i probably would, Im good at taking things apart but kind of struggle putting them together again.............correctly! Hahahaaa im much the same....prob be left with loads of bolts and a strange look on my face!! Link to comment
TrackScotland Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 initial mapping... 306bhp (dunno torque yet). 440cc injectors are max'd. 0.8bar of boost on 20G, full boost by 4200'ish rpm. Nice and revy engine.... but a bit funny sounding (piston slap) Hmmm... might need to find some bigger injectors before snetterton and brakes, and better susp.... Link to comment

IIRC you have proper forged ones?, does it only do it when the engines cold? if so Probably piston slap and nothing to worry about 550CC injectors will flow 400 horses but not much more if your planning on running methanol or E85, probably better with a set of 740`s or something Link to comment
TrackScotland Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 it gets slightly quieter when warm, but still not great. Will look into 700/800cc injectors. Anyone know of any for a phase1 inlet going for cheap? Link to comment
RA Dunk Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 (edited) lol edit what a load of crap i just typed i hardly read the post!! try the usual for sale sections and wanted sections on here and scabbynet Edited September 23, 2009 by RA Dunk Link to comment
gambler Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 How is the car coming on? Not long till snett Link to comment
TrackScotland Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 need to get it back to tidy it up.... BUT really want to find bigger injectors so its not going to be like a slub at Snet Link to comment
TrackScotland Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 new engine in.... its a bit slappy when running... but if it holds together i can cope didnt get a chance to re-paint the inlet... so doest look very different to the old engine bigger turbo. Old engine.... going to strip it down at home for a look. Aone kow the size and shape of standard EJ20 head bolts? starting the stripping... Whats left of the big end bearing on No2. Think the whole bearing has disintegrated! Link to comment
