So I am not much for typing I guess I will just post a lot of pics

The build/rebuild starts as most do, The engine packing it in....

SSH beforehand



Some stuff that was on the car when it was imported





New gear



Now the pull down











Also Had a little look in the plug holes and it looks like all the seals are still in place

 

Today's progress











Looks like I am going single......

 

SO FAT. lol

 

SOOO...........


I think i should rename the car to lucky....











So yesterday i dropped the oil pan off and my hart sank. The oil pick up was blocked I did not take any pic's

So I had oil staved and combustion inside the rotors all the seals are jammed with carbon. All the damage is minimal LUCKY!

More + side

Stainless bolts

 

Lucky indeed.

 

Wow! good thing you're rebuilding

 

Nothing to report today, Just went and spent more money......



and my master rebuild kit is on its way thanks to Rotary Aviation

Also ordered all new bearings locally
and got a price to get semi pport work (don't know if I am going down this road yet)

Riced out a little and got a vailside scissor door kit sometime ago have only test fitted it so far. It needs some work




would be epic to get a sponsor of some type LOL!

 

So 5 Hours of work and I now have one 50% clean rotor 1 50% clean housing and 1 99% clean rotor....

 

BTW, those are the '99+ 280hp twins.

Dale

 

yep very dead ones I Think. might not be

 

Slowly slowly



The twins are very very dead one has a load to shaft play the other has scraping sound
And they do not spin well

 

Spending loads of $$$, got new manifold, BW s366, Fuel rail set, adaptronic plug in, mac3





Some sexy fuel rails there....... and half the price of everyone else $150AU

here is a pic of the test fit on the doors

 

Cars is at stand still at the moment. I hit a kangaroo in my daily. And I am very unwell to add to it. Having to repair the other car and pay for surgery has emptied my bank acc. Just held up on injectors and wastegate

So I have some time now that I have moved. Made my self a parts/wish list

Parts list:

Flex fuel sensor
MTX-L
2X 2000cc injectors
2X 1000cc
walbro 450 e85 pump
Windows 8 tablet for tuning
Alternator 150 amp + unit of some sort
Downpipe fab

I have also been thinking about the water pump pulley issues, I may take something from the v8 guys on this and try a https://www.proformparts.com/product...ategory_id/291

Just to be different

 

YAY!



Not so YAY

Anyone got any ideas why this would happen?
I Have a feeling they got that way from being on a boat, But may also be fuel????

 

Just pulled the secondary's

Clean as

 

Fuel Pump installed.

 

Bag'o'stuff

 

BRAP!



All in part

109mm to 93mm to 90mm to 78mm

 

On the downpipe I will recommend to lose the reducer if you dont.You will end up losing power. I know from experience. Keep it full 3 inch! In the picture it looks like a 2.5 reducer....

Sammy

 

yep the pics seem to have made it lose 10lb lol. Its 3.5 back to 3 inch. One day after I get it running again I will go 3.5 all the way

 

Aww the picture had me thinking it was smaller lol.

 

PWR intercooler on its way. Hope its not to big to stock mount.

Not sure on a AI setup to use yet
