The Head is almost done, ready to be installed

Stefan at engson motor made the track for the steel ring to be seated.


The head is leveled at both sides










1mm oversize valves from PPF


2 friends of mine came over and helped out with the wg piping


starting to look good


i welded up the dp with my friends TIG








Helgen då va jag på kjula o hjälpte grabbarna att skruva.. fernis kardan experten.. spelar ingen roll
att stödlagret är borta man kör ändå :D


Blocket är så gott som klart. allt är moment draget och på plats.. små grejer kvar.

Damn, this is one of those threads I wish I stumbled upon after the build was done, because every time I clicked another page I got a little bit sad that eventually I was going to finish the thread.

Way to go man, you guys rock. Any reason for putting the throttle body a little ways away from the intake, just packaging?

hehe nice to hear !! thx :)

the throttel body would fit closer but we thought that this might be good.. and adding some volume to the intake :)

update Time.

Its been quite for som time.. and that have sucked..

All of the stand still has been due to the motor guy has to much to handle on 1 person.
But now it seems that the speed is upp again.

The new bearing is sanded




the engine block is flattened





Drilling the engine block







Milling for the steal thread





Hening the last of the block







When the head got welded it got a bit twisted






A friend of mine wanted to try a new foil he got home.. so i voluntared :)









Jocke started to lay down the foil


A bunch of friends got over to se the final product

















Hopefully im putting togheter the engine block tomorow and this weekend its going in.

I might've missed it but how much of a lag will you have? I remember having to rev my car to 4k before the t72 gtq trim turbo started to spool.

Hmm im not sure yet.. hopefully this will go before 4k but it depends on the camshaft aswell :)

aren't you worried about burning through the piston with the valve notches?

in several conversoations with jim at metric mechanic, he talked me out of running a piston with notches because he said there was always a problem with that once you go over 12lbs of boost. not right away but in longevity terms.

just wondering if you have had any similar problems running hight boost with pistons.

the Old pistons i had, had bigger notches and those work well for 3 years with over 30psi of boost

and even when a injector clogged up just the head gasket went.

YO,I was at budscreek last November, for imports vs domestic and it was a white e30, that was running high 8. I'm look for the pic and video to put up .

Okaj post it :) fun to see
