did you polish the intake manifold yourself? how long did it take and what materials did you purchase to do it? id love to do mine, looks sick!

 

Engine bay last week...

Engine bay this week...

 

Let's try this again... Damn pictures wouldn't load.

 

Yes i do agree, looks so nice when their polished.
I didn't do it myself, i bought it just recently the complete swap for cheap plus mad goodies!
The s4 top intake manifold,throttle body, and greddy comp tube are polished and the cork sport fmic, and tubing oh plus the logo rad lol.
Water pump, timing cover, and cas are next.

 

If you want to do it ghetto find a beginners polishing kit that you can use with a drill, buy sanding paper of 250, 400, 600 and 1000 grit and start with the coarse grain. It should take you about 10 hours if you work properly and if you do every steps properly.

 

 

now thats a motor that will NEVER get heat soak

+1 for HUGE intercooler

Engine after fire haha
we we're pushstarting it after fresh rebuild and all i had was the downpipe on and it finally fired up and we stoped infront of my house and it stalled out. i told my buddy in the car to try and start it up and it did...for like 2 braps and BOOM fire out the scoop the bumber and the whole bottom of the car and lucky a guy came runnin down the street with a fire extiguisher and got it out but it was insane!!!!

this was in feb...

im back up an ready for DGRR!!!!!!

 

Damn... What happened? Fuel leak?

 

 

rew with fc front cover?

 

That's the one

 

I take it you drilled and tapped the plates to use stock mounts? Any idea on cost? I hate my adapter mounts...

 

Yeah it was all drilled and tapped. I had a mate do the work, when we pulled down my FC block the housing's weren't healthy and he talked me into going with the REW and he did all the work on it, cost me 3700 I think for the dowelling, engine mounts, full bridgeport, SCR seals etc etc and he rebuilt the clutch to handle the power (should be 450 - 500rwhp) I paid 4k for the block from an importer here that he knew, he said it was the best block he had seen in about 5 years and I didn't really believe it but there was not a scratch on the housing, no shaft play in the turbos and no wear on the water pump, so whatever car it came out of must have been written off early on. So essentially it's all brand new. Shame I can't do much more on it as I can't actually walk for another 6 weeks after my motorbike accident.
