I just finished building mine. 91 Coupe with large streetport, 2.0 rtek, and a FEW other modifications.
The car has less than 90k on the chassis and had been sitting for about 7 years. I had to literally strip it down to a shell and start from scratch. Its nice to see a project come together though!

 

Im building my 87 t2. almost done with the body

 

Rebuild complete with streetport cleaned up ... the engine is waiting on me to clean up the engine bay before it gets put in.
new parts consist of
MasterPower T70 /.96AR Turbine
walbro
720ccx4
Aeromotive FPR
Rtek 1.8
HKS TwinPower
godspeed FMIC
koyo rad/samco hoses
ACT street clutch
corksport exhaust
stance coils ... now i just gotta go buy a few more items such as wideband, guages, boost controller, oil catch can, 44mm wastegate, and other lil tidbits that ill find when putting it all together

 

i'm rebuilding mine but for phases, in about a year or two i'm going to make a complete rebuild (going to took all apart re-paint it and fix it all up (i think i have my body all F*+ked up )

 

UPDATING pictures... cracked an apex seal... wow exactly what I thought, but more damage found, center iron has a deep scratch on the rear side.






engine is out sorry for the crappy pictures...

 

turbo crap is all out even complete rusted out exhaust, this will be all redone.



the face behind the nickname...now you know me... also my daily driver in the background (keeping it rotary powered)



here is the stupid damage, just the tip of an apex seal went, detonation at 10.5psi due to hot plugs and lean condition. Getting some Cryo seals from atkins. These are 3mm and I still managed to crack it.


it will look a lot better when we are done...

 

Who ported that? Make sure you Do a CLOSE inspection of everything. Get some good tools if you dont already have them. Rebuild DVD, Feeler gauges, Digital calipers. Spec everything out.

 

I did... engine survived 4 years and I fuked up while tuning... will use the same streetporting formula I had. I rebuild engines all the time for local people here. from renis to peripheral no big issues... but as you know tuning is the key for longevity, that tip cracked under a lot of stress, created by my right foot on the gas pedal LOL

here is the old engine about 4 years ago when first rebuilt. Ran ok, just my tuning skills were not that great, setting the megasquirt perfectly took me some learning. Now is a different story

I like this porting...not too big and just smooth. So Im keeping it the same.

 

Right now my engine is at Lucky7 Racing being built.
Just recently came up hard on a Racing Beat Cat Back exhaust for 250 (almost new except for a few scratches)

All I am doing now is playing the waiting game =(

 

Been collecting parts for my engine since the fall of 2010.

Whenever i finish my wire harness at work, i can pull the motor, paint, and relocate everything in the engine bay, then i can install my tucked wire harness.

Ill start on the project this coming spring.

 

truth.

 

Count me down for full rebuild... Engine, wiring harness, interior, body and paint after running again...

 

Here are a couple of pictures of my S5 NA engine as it gets rebuilt in Lucky7 Racing












Painted and mocked up

 

the exhaust work looks awesome... are those turbo inserts?

 

Yessir Turbo sleeves on NA housings. I bought the sleeves for $30-40 and I didn't like the diffuser on the NA inserts so I said let's install them.

 

The real question is who isn't rebuilding there fc

 

Ima start to rebuild soon =D cant wait

 

Here are some pictures of the work that was done today =]

i got two im working on right now one is a full restoration new everything my dads project more than mine

 

shitty pics but all i have for now

 

about to start rebuilding in next few weeks once i have enough to order parts i need for rebuild... 3rd times a charm right....

 

for now, i'm just trying to get an engine in it so i can get it home. i will begin working on the rest of the car later this year.

 

Holy! that's a lot of rebuilding... I just scored some turbo housings. Seals should be here this week and so far listen to this...

without engine car weighs 2050lbs... Plan is to hit the scales at 2500lbs with rollcage. Car is turning out to be a full race car. Will be updating some more progress soon.

 

Kinda. It runs but i'm focus'd on rebuilding my brakes, altering my stock handbrake, doing some interior work, installing a harness bar and harness as well as a few other odds and ends. Maybe switching back to another lsd unit as my welded causing understeer kinda gets on my nerves. Then i've got a motor swap and a full custom front end with hand made rear toe links and hard suspension bits.


Nice to see you're getting back in the game. Did you ship any of your stuff from japan back here or did you opt to start fresh?
