[slammedmind]

cheers for that ray, confirms mine has definitly had some headwork done, im curious to find out what cams are in it.....

 

[raytsang]

hahaha let me know too im interested in some head work myself.
your valves look very clean too.mine are very grubby looking.
well if there is head work done you have saved some money there. so the car should be up and running no time.:thumbs:

 

[slammedmind]

all going well it will be ready and setup for the sxoc trackday

[Trial_S15]

Thanks Rob :thumbs: I had heard about your Civic & even you Starlet but when did you get a Teg?

 

[slammedmind]

Teg is on its way

Got the head off, cant believe how clean it is....

Turbo/mani/elbow

head

 

[Trial_S15]

That is ridicluously clean alright :notworthy:

 

[raytsang]

looking at the pic of your intake ports looks like there not ported or polished.
looks very much like a casted finish. but it is incredibly clean.

ported and polish be more like grinding marks.

 

[slammedmind]

ye on closer inspection thyre not machined but i do see some tool marks on the inside. Ill find out what martin makes of it during the week

 

[slammedmind]

updated spec on page 1, i should be getting my head back this friday so re-assembly can begin this weekend all going well

 

[raytsang]

Very nice.
cant wait to see the pics of the finished head...
you should be able to see the true potential of the SR engine now:thumbs:

BTW what sort of boost you plan to run?

 

[slammedmind]

boost wise a max of 1.5 bar. If i get the power im aiming for then i wont even run that much, aim is 350-380 anywhere near that and ill be very happy

 

[raytsang]

I'm sure 1.3 will see your there. But I suppose better to map it to the highest boost then dial it down to what you need. Wish I can do that dam boost creep what ever you at it just goes up. I want plenty of pics of the machined turbo and head. BTW you know when the standard piston might start going?

 

[Trial_S15]

Thats a mother & a father of a spec list Can't wait to see her out at the track day

Thats a good question, i think its really all down to the tune with the pistons ray. Phil morrison ran 400bhp for a full drift season on a standard engine so they can take punishment. Personally id be more worried about a rod breaking with the extra power higher up in the revs to be honest? Once it doesnt run lean the pistons will last, and if there is an issue then theres always the option of saving for a nice hks 2.2 stroker and a new gearbox setup

Lets hope i get it all together and run in before then, ill have to get used to the extra power before then cause id like to make use of the whole day not sit in a gravel trap all the time :ghey:

 

[EMAGDNIM]

Very nice...I bet you can't wait to have it all put back together...

 

[Trepidge]

interested in the results of the new setup, you gonna stick with the 95 octane?
