13b-rew Into T2

[t2rew]

pictures speak a thousand words. yep im having a great time. the tube will be my cheap three inch exhaust. i\'ll retain the twin exit as it looks much better and will have the benifit of two box\'s so should be ok for any track but still flow very well.

after three weeks in the garage doing the wiring, it started tonight. that is after 100 miles on the starter moter countless de-floods and then a two mile tow. hehehe happy bunny.

Very nice,what turbo is it you are running and what spec.I searched through the pages and couldn\'t find it,im probably blind though.

to4e,  walpro, 1600sec\'s, ported carl hayward engine, , electric water pump, skyline GTR intercooler,  Apexi power fc , exeddy clutch, secondary thottle removed, greddy pofec b, big valve head and high lift cams.

I also put some forged pistons in the engine and used total seal piston rings.The rods are titanium,and the cambelt was renewed.
It was quite hard but I managed to get a couple of extra pistons in the motor so it is now an 8 cylinder.I decided that the best way to lower the compression was to use more than one head gasket,I always use 4 of them on big power engines,it works a treat.The 5 valves per cylinder were tricky being as they are big ones,I found that if you weld them together that works and use a drill to open up the ports for them until they all join each other.
I\'m just reciprocating!
Kind regards
Carl

Hi,
She is looking good, what turbo are you running? Looks like a T04 series. Are you running the Apexi FC? Well good luck, and i look forward to next year.

the car has been arunner for a few months now but i have been having a nightmare getting the running temp down. the last thing i have done is do away with the electric pump and put the stock one in. with no stat  and the fans on full blast it sat there at 79c this is the best i had seen so took it out but the temp just started going up. turn it off for a minuit with the fans still on then start it and the now cool rad water goes in and the temp went down again. i have decided that the t2 rad isnt man enough and ordered a new ally one. im convinced this is all that is left to do and i can then start running the engine in. if not ill start filling it with wood and petrol:reallymad
