Haven't been able to do much to the engine as i have been preping my bike for the Isle of Man run, but Yesterday i managed to fit the conrods and acl big end bearings as well as the main bearings, crank conrods and seal the block back together. I have also fitted the titainium valve springs and alliminium retainers. Just need to sort the shimes out. I would of had the piston's in today but the cer clips for the wrist pins were to big. So i need to get them tuesday.

I have lapped in the valves, fitted the valve stem oil seals, titainium valve springs and alliminium retainers. I also have torqued the cam caps ready for measuring the shimes.

It has been a slow process with a few problems on the way but i managed to get the engine in, by myself, i had problems with the engine crane. Managed to sort it out and fitted it in myself... Lets say that there was a few horrible words said in the process but i managed to get it all in. It is all bolted up now pretty much, just need to buy some turbo bolts which i have managed to loose and a turbo oil feed banjo bolt. I am also having a problem putting that release bearing hydrolic thingy majig ontop of the gearbox.... Not good..
|
Cracking job mate :five:
|
Nice one T! Imagine you're going to be nervous when you first turn the key!?
|
Well done mate.:yeah:
|
well done , have some banjo bolts and exhust bolts if not sorted
|
Cheers Guy's..........
I am not going to lie to you Spooks, i am bricking it.... Its really wiered because in some ways i can not wait to turn the key and in other ways i am not looking forward to it if anything goes wrong.... :-| |
Good luck mate, just rebuilt mine and started her up last night, know how you are feeling.

Engine is in and is not turning over, i am hoping that it is just a sticky starter motor. Also need to find out where all of the boost/vacume pipes go as that has confused me, does any one have any diagrams that i can follow??
|
Woo hoo
I managed to start the car!!!!!!!, the problem was that the power was damaged on the starter so i took it apart and managed to tighten the bolt that sticks out of the starter.... I carried on turning it over with the ht leads out to build up the oil pressure, then stopped and plugged the ht leads back in and he started first time.... The only problem was he was reving high, i am just hoping that it was just because the boost pipes are prob in the wrong places and the intercooler pipe that leads to the throttle body is not on. I only ran the engine for about 4-5 seconds, but the main thing at this stage is he started.... Think its time for a well deserved beer.... Lets just hope it runs proper once i iron out the creases....
|
Well done mate should be proud of yourself, look forward to seeing you back in it.:10:
|
nice one mate :) could be the ICV stuck :) or a pipe off.
|
You are a lot braver than me mate.
If I would have put it back together I would have got someone else to start it incase it blew up :) Good stuff & well done. |
Good that ity started , note for next time pull the crank sensor plug off when building the oil pressure up its then one plug not 4 to pull off and plug back in . as jaffas said pipes & ICV are a good place to start
|
Mate, I'm really happy for you that it's all turned out ok.
You have done a cracking job and you should be proud of of what you have acheived :10: |
Cheers guy's....
Tone is the ICV on top of the inletmanifold? with the settings ABC??? Also where does the pipe go from the top of the throttle body?? I might need to give you a shout at some point when you are free... Cheers Clive that was one of the most heart stopping moments of my life.... Thanks for that C.J, lets just hope that i dont need to rebuild another one, but i have taken note.. lol Thanks Worzel, i couldn't of done it without some of the advise that was given on the forums, so a BIG thanks to those who gave me advise when i needed it..... |
give me a ring if you get stuck :)
|
Cheers Tone, i will prob end up giving you a shout a little later after work...

Little bit of bad news, the car seemed to be running fine, the engine was wining though a little bit but i am hoping that this is just because the piston rings need to bed in (can someone confirm this) There was no blue smoke at the back and the car idle'd beautifually... My mate noticed that there was a big puddle underneath the car of oil, i have not had a look at it since as i was to upset and felt like crying so i left it alone over the weekend, but i think i know what the issue is. On the top of the block at the front there are inspection points, well atleast that is what they look like, on each half of the block, they are allen key bolts and are about the size of a 50 pence piece. I took them off them to replace the copper washers and when i tightend one of them i managed to over tighten it and it snapped off the block. I tried to mend it myself with some chemical metal which i don't think has done the job, i know for a fact that everything else is tight and sealed as i took my sweet time putting it all back together. Just seeing if i can get a call out welder to see if they can repair it..... I really do hope that it can be fixed as the car seemed to be fine...
|
Sorry to hear the news mate. Maybe worth checking the auxillary belts, also i would drain the oil to check just in case.

Cheers mate.
Ding ding round 2, engine taken out for the second time, secound hand block from Stew... Cheers mate. Engine out and all parts onto new block in a day. Just need to bolt on the heads. Decided to tidy up the engine wiring loom as well. Lets just hope i don't break anything this time.... |
Car is up and running now and is on road finally..... oooooo how i missed driving the scoob... Car seems to be running beautiful, a little knocking noise but that is the exhaust bracket.... Look forward to seeing you all at the next meet...
|
Great job, looking forward to seeing you there now it's up and running. Enjoy the :drive:

You have done a cracking job :10: |

Tyler, I just had the pleasure of a visit from one of your work associates Mr Stiggy.
He mentioned that you would love to jump in my passenger seat one day. Maybe you could jump in at Japbash? :norty: |

Can't beat a bit of bling matey :cool:

After getting the car mapped a little while ago i had a issue where the engine was burning a lot of oil from the home made build...... So another engine was purchased. I found out why the car was burning oil, it was the CHEAP!!! (flee bay) valve stem oil seals.... It is my fault for being tight....
Any way i drove to west Yorkshire to pick up my lovely new lump. It is a Forged P1 engine, with wisco forged piston's, Eagle conrods, arp head studs, acl race bearings, 440cc injectors, and for £50 a full manifold wrapped, 6 paddel clutch with lightend flywheel and STI4 heads. I took my old engine out on a Monday and buy Tuesday it was back in and running, but i had a really bad waterleak and it got all into where the clutch was, :doh: so the clutch worked for a little bit then started to slip... (to be fair i hated the clutch any way as it is a daily used car) So then i had to find the water leak... JOY... It took some time to find the leak and ended up taking the Inlet manifold off to only find that it was a loose sensor !!! :doh: Now all i had to do is drop the gearbox and changed back to the standard clutch.... That took we about 2 days also but was a struggle.... I HATE ANYTHING TO DO WITH SUBARU GEARBOX's....... Well after that i took the car to Simon as the car nearly passed its MOT on emissions when i have no cats at all, so a trip to see Simon was needed. Got on the rollers and Simon done a blinding Job as usual and the car made 318bhp 330... So i am pleased. Still more to come... |

The rear diff ready and waiting to go in, just waiting on new seals to come so i can replace them.

Few goodies http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/...0312-00277.jpg[/QUOTE] Fitted 550cc injectors and Walbro 255, put rear seats back in as wanted to make sure the walbro primed before it did so.. Fitted the rear drive shafts now, the driver side one clicks into place without a circlip.... Feels the same as the left side as it clicks into place.. So fingers crossed on that.. Also fitted a Sti steering wheel and fitted the exhaust... So coming along.. Also ordered a brand new radiator and the water feed pipes for the Turbo. Even had a little time to add a little fine detail to the wheels, i know nobody likes the blue lip on the wheel but i wanted to be a little different.. :D http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/...0317-00294.jpg Brand new Radiator turned up today which i paid £43.50 for, delievered!!! :D And also my £170 order from Opie oils!!! :( http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/...0321-00298.jpg Fitted all the white pipes which are now black :mad: fitted the turbo water pipe, Rad with both rad fans, also fitted all the wiring for the 3 new Prosport gauges, made sure that i hid as much of the wiring as possible, with the help of my dad... All wires were soldered and heat shrunk.. Fitted white boost pipes as well. The turbo down pipe is in place just needs to be secured. All that is left is to fit the actual dials in the pods, fill gearbox and diff up, fill engine and anti freeze and fit the intercooler pipes then ready to start the old boy, fingers crossed!!! Little pic of the engine bay in progress.. http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/...0323-00301.jpg Prosport gauges fitted and home made flocked bits also fitted.. Little video below.. :-) http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/...0331-00009.jpg |
