braveheart Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 (edited) Well was looking at buying another car !! a Newage for my run about, but also wanted to do some new mods on my classic, so after alot of hummming and ariiiiiinnnggg ive decided to sack the newage and spend it all on the Classic.. how selfish i know only doing what it deserves lol I have ran out of steam with the 2.5 SCDB the engine is sound and will be up for sale next month with STi 2 heads fitted to the 2.5 all the work has being carried out by SW Motorsport. Have been speaking to many of the top builders around and all basicly said the best engine to get was the EJ22 closed deck block like hens teeth and bloody expensive just for the shell ....so this is the next stage then stoke the block 2.35 I have new targets that i want to achieve for 2010 and is a 10sec car... 1/4 mile Im also selling a wife and two kids to fund this...lol offers welcolmed hope she doesn't read this.This is what the short engine consists of.. 2.35lt Short Engine Parts: EJ22 closed deck block, stripped, & de-greased Arrow billet crank, low pressure oil feed, Nitrided, Lateral/Wiseco custom 2.35lt pistons, rings & up rated pins Lateral/Crower "H" section stroker rods, Multi layer steel head gaskets, to suit piston kit CR (pair) ACL “Race series” main bearings, phase 2 (set) ACL “Race Series” centre main thrust bearing ACL “Race series” big end bearings (set) Lateral Performance custom intercooler kit (no pipes) all the pipes will be customed made by SW To modify customer supplied 740cc injectors to 1100cc & flow match. So the next month or so is going to be exiting for me anyways oh and the turbo will be going on sale very soon also Garett30/40 i have missed alot of other bits and pieces but the main parts are there ... Roll on March Chris Edited October 20, 2010 by braveheart

green_goblin Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 Your a mad kant........but i like it!!! Sounds like a good plan and sounds like it should be bullet proof with the billet crank and all the other good sh*t!! Good luck with it and keep us posted mate
G.Mac Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 check out the states, i got my EJ22T for $500, but saying that I'm getting my engine built over there Graeme
braveheart Posted January 25, 2010 Author Posted January 25, 2010 Your a mad kant........but i like it!!! Sounds like a good plan and sounds like it should be bullet proof with the billet crank and all the other good sh*t!! Good luck with it and keep us posted mate Have been doing alot of homework this time for this build..and had some exellent advise Bulletproof is what im after Jase and 2.1 bar a boost will not be an issue, ive spoken to folk with the same engine end running alot more boost that that so it is tried and tested .. no more shortcutts from here in, also looking at some NOS lol that will come in the summer me thinks..we will see maby sooner
terzo neil Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 G.mac thought you were rebuilding yours all yourself
braveheart Posted January 25, 2010 Author Posted January 25, 2010 check out the states, i got my EJ22T for $500, but saying that I'm getting my engine built over thereGraeme Its already bought .Greame .have looked at the states too much admin if it goes Pete Tong which im sure it wont ,but im one of these lads that has alot of bad luck and dont know enough engine builders over there i trust so ill stick to who and what i know, and all the best for your build keep me updated.. Chris
G.Mac Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 No problem, will give you a wee PM with what I am thinking
braveheart Posted January 25, 2010 Author Posted January 25, 2010 No problem, will give you a wee PM with what I am thinking
mikeyb13 Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 .. no more shortcutts from here in, also looking at some NOS lol that will come in the summer me thinks. Where have I heard that before? Can Stevie get it ready for March?
braveheart Posted January 25, 2010 Author Posted January 25, 2010 Where have I heard that before? Can Stevie get it ready for March? I know how many time have i said this im like a broken record player.. cant help myself Spoke to Stevie tonight, and could here him banging his head off the wall, when i told him when the car needs to be ready tbh Stevie has always got things done before deadlines, its out his control as the short motor is being built else where,so hopefully there will be no complications in the build and getting a map Date from Andy for march so alot hanging again but i dont want it rushed but it is possible to achieve..for the March so iv'e been told Chris
trackhound Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 Hi Alistair, there is a couple i am looking at doing my research at the moment, Garrett 35R is looking good also looking at some new Turbos with billet fans will post up when find more info....open to any advise cheers a 35R should see you to the 600 bhp mark. If goals are 600 plus you are starting to get into the relms of a the 40R but way too laggy for a road car and would be better with something twin scroll and front mounted. Blouch seem to be doing amazing things with billet wheels and are claiming their latest Dominator 4 is capable of 600bhp and standard location! http://www.blouchturbo.com/turbos/Dom4.0XT-R/
G.Mac Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 been told I can get a GT35-42 on full boost under 4k RPM
trackhound Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 (edited) been told I can get a GT35-42 on full boost under 4k RPM AVCS and engine size? Edited January 25, 2010 by Trackhound
TrackScotland Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 (edited) What gearbox? JDM 6 speed? and if you dont mind me asking... where did you source the EJ22 block, and how much was it (just the block) Edited January 25, 2010 by TrackScotland
colin_ross Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 Nice spec Chris. Sounds a bit familiar though
fai17 Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 I have new targets that i want to achieve for 2010 and is a 10sec car... 1/4 mile BTW...10sec is hard to get for the normal people like us Very nice spec and its the one that looks the most promising of all the engine block builds out there. Good luck Chris
fai17 Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 been told I can get a GT35-42 on full boost under 4k RPM You get told alot of things in this world but whether it really happens is another thing
