not sure if you guys are into this kinda stuff, but I thought I would share some of the other work I did with the car today....
short block showed up from issam at INA engineering on friday. really impressed with everything. I'm not sure what it's going to make for power. I have high hopes though. Any armchair speculation is welcome....Here is the build for the block:
JE Forged Pistons - 2618 Alloy
- 83.5mm bore / 11.5 CR
DM Forged H-beam Connecting Rod w/ARP 2000
hardware
KB 9A Connecting Rod bearings
KB 9A Main bearings
Bottom End Rebuild kit
06A 1.8T Oil filter housing
Hepu Metal impellar water pump
Lexus Timing Belt
INA Engineering Steel 06F Oil Pan
•Ultra sonic clean engine block
•Check for cracks & bearing seat damages
•Chase all threaded holes to remove rust or debris
•Balance rotating assembly
•Bore block from 82.5mm to 83.40mm (using torque plate)
•Hone block from 83.40mm to 83.495mm (using torque
plate)
•Deck block to bring deck to true
•Paint block with high temperature paint (if needed)
•Clearance piston rings for desired power level (Naturally
Aspirated)
•Install rings onto Pistons and install into bore
ASSEMBLY WORK
•Complete assembly of motor plasti-guaging to ensure
proper tolerance.
1.8T Crank Pulley
ABF Alternator Bracket w/ Power Steering
ARP Head Studs - M10
CAT Camshaft Gear - 06A
head is still the same. 288 cams. decked a little. I think the compression might be a little higher than 11.5:1 all said.
I had to modify the ABF/ABA-No AC bracket a little to receive the larger hardware thats on the block itself, not to mention it doesnt QUITE line up, so I had to open the hole on the bracket up a little. Other than that everything went together very smoothly. My friend Devan stopped by and took it upon himself to sand the blue anodizing off the Cat Cam. I polished it with compound afterwards and it looks great. Need to get a new bolt for it. the old one looked bad with the nice finish. Also spent a lot of time cleaning up the alternator and the head and other things.
I'm excited to have the internal water pump. I think it cleans everything up quite a bit. The chain driven pump should be nice too. I'm not yet sure if the INA oil pan is going to work yet in terms of clearance on the ground. I plan on raising the engine a bit... we'll have to see where everything sits once its all sorted out. I may weld a bit more metal on the pan itself just to be safe.
