And from what Iv'e seen on here in my first day sure lives up to that so I thought I would try and bring over my build thread as there is a lot of info and pics that it would be easer to just copy and paste up to what I have done so far and in the coming weeks i can then add the final stages of this huge! build well it is for me
Yeah figure i may as well post up the build that the RS is under going at the moment, and from reading others builds the impute from others can help in the build process, otherwise missed by the individual.
Iv'e spent many hours on forums and speaking to people in the know, just to make some sort of clear direction as to what i want from such a build, and to draw on were i went wrong in my past build! in order to have a far better out come this and last time.
Iv'e decided to go with TOP Torque over a couple other possibilities, based on the fact that there well known for excellent work and people like bazza mitch and my tuner just to name a few that have been happy with there work, and there only 20 min from me so very convenient for me to drop in at any time during the build process.
So what iv'e decided that suits my needs best is an insane streeter that will also hold it's own down the strip and be very well suited to hill climbs as i prefer that over circuit type racing.
So to hopefully achieve this i'm going for an RS closed deck Block which i scored from The Asian aka Tim for a good price thnx mate ;-) and then sleeving the sucker!! for a 2.5 displacement as i think bigger the cubes the better for a hill climber and street weapon.
Which iv'e now scored the 300-030 darton sleeves from Gonads over at rexnet also for a good price thnx ben ;-)
also i'm able to re use my argo i beam rods as there the bomb for supporting big power, and are now out of the old motor and are in perfect nick.
Another good score was finding a new set of JE pistons for an absolute bargain! they should be here mid next week.
The piston specs are:
Alloy: 2618 T6
Bore: 3.938
Comp Height: 1.182
Forging: 97M
Pin Dia: .905
Pin Length: 2.515 (S TRUE ARC Locks)
Dish: -23.5cc
Top Ring: 1.2mm
2nd Ring: 1.2mm
Oil Ring: 2.8mm (up from 2.5mm)
Actual weight: 409g
They come with carbon steel wrist pins and JE Pro seal rings.
With assumptions about head gasket thickness and combustion chamber volume etc, these should see a static C/R round 9:1. although i want a little more than this.
Thnx to bazz iv'e bought his V7 heads with kelford 272's heavy duty springs titanium retainers port job avacs which will i'll be running, no compromises in this build!
As for the turbo it's been hard to put my finger on one perfect huffer, although i'm now down to either a Twin scroll GTX 3071R or the GTX 3076R in standard location i'm leaning towards the 76R, any other ideas will definitely be considered.
Not sure what clutch to upgrade to as yet iv'e been told an OS Giken twin-plate clutch setup? i like the exedy twin plate carbon joby as it comes in pull type
and i think i need a kit for the giken to fit? any help on this would be much appreciated.
iv'e now purchased a cosworth manifold as with my cam's in the high rpm will make use of this manifold and i love the look it will create in the engine bay i'm considering and aftermarket throttle body to go with it but undecided at this stage
AS i'm going twin scroll iv'e also bought a hyperflow twin scroll sump nice bit of kit indeed and it holds more oil than a standard TS sump.
now i'll be running E85 with a 98 octane mix which i will be buying in 200 lt drums and The Asian can supply me with a pump so i can fill up in the garage at home thnx again tim.
Now to help fully burn this mix iv'e just upgraded to set of four ice ignition coils and 9mm ice leads so should never have spark break down due to high comp big boost or the e85 fuel.
probably more of a safe guard i know than a necessity, although would hate to have spark issues at WOT with what this motor should produce.
Will be going for 1600cc squirters should be enough iv'e got a walbro intank and iv'e got the bosch 040 external
here's some pics so far.

So there's my upgraded coils nicely tucked away in the guards, thats about it for now, as the RS block and sleeves are at top torque waiting in line to get done which is a bit over a week away.
So when I took the rs out for a blast to see what it's like under some real load with the new coils, it feels alot more responsive!
maybe there's a bit better combustion going on now and that's what i'm noticing, there's definitely something very happy indeed.
Also people have commented that the coils maybe affected by the rain due to there stealthy location and this was a valid point so this is what Iv'e done to test this theory out
So after watching my sons footy game in atrocious conditions i thought it would be a great time to test these coils out in there location with such pathetic conditions.
so I drove through as many areas of standing water and there were plenty too choose from lol, along with some spirited driving to get lots of spray happening
And i'm happy to say there were no signs at all of any unwanted issues ie: stuttering missing ect..ect.. the car just hauled arrss so i think if anyone wants to mount coils were i have you should be fine would pay to have good plastic wheel linings just to be safe as i do
Iv'e added more clips to the linings and secured the bottom part that dose have the ability of flapping down under the front wheels and ending up on the road as mine have in the past lol,
So iv'e put in bolts and some cable ties along the bottom area witch also stops a lot of the water as well as keeping it in place;-)
