I definitely want to ride shotgun in this thing. I've seen it a few times but haven't even heard it yet since it's been tuned and all. Your almost there!

Heh, I don't even want to look at it at the moment. I need to put the CORRECT t-belt on it. Bloke who built the long engine fitted the wrong belt. I don't even want to look at the car at the moment, it hasn't really moved in 3 months.

hooollyy crapp.. dude ur nuts.

hoist in a new shed is cool all the same;)

Thats a whole bunch of awesome mate!

A hurricane blew the shed on its side =D

Here is a little side project - ANOTHER engine!

Went and pulled my 5sfe block out of my mates caustic tank today. The factory coating on the block is pretty damn tanky! Has withstood a few weeks in a caustic tank. Looks like a powdercoat type substance which is applied before they do any final machining of the block (bosses, front face, rear face, top face bottom face etc). I'll probably mask everything up and have it powder coated myself. Which means may or may not have to find a way to remove the rest of the factory coating.

Block is a 98+ block from a camry.






Got some slugs to go into it. Custom CP's w/ ceramic coated dome and skirts. Still waiting on my custom rods [xx(]



Looking at turbo options for ~700whp. Currently looking at borg warner turbos as they seem to have a more comprehensive list of compressor sizes. I am looking for something that will produce more power then a 4088R but don't really want to run a GT42R frame turbo, due to the sheer physical size (they are freakin massive). Apparently flow wise the 66mm borg warner turbo is up there with the gt4294r.

They are all journal bearing turbos, but apparently still spool quite well. A bonus is they are cheap to rebuild (And I know just the man for the job). I threw away $1500 in a ball bearing turbo after 2000km of use not long ago.

Will start to acquire materials to fab myself a manifold in the near future.

Will be keeping both engines.

Considering 3sgte'ing a AW10 shell I have. If that goes ahead, it will be a dedicated race car. Tube frame rear end (behind passenger compartment), lexan windows throughout. Will not be a streeter. The AW10 were superlight, so even with a GT35R sized turbo would go like stink. Which motor ends up in which car, I don't know at this point. Always good to have spares anyway, if you are pushing the boundaries you are bound to break something some time or another.

The head on this second motor I will make a little more on the wild side. I will make an attempt at fitting 2mm OS valves. Dare say it'll require custom seat work. Also fit a highlift cam, machining the spare gen2 head I got here to allow fitment.

I don't expect it to come together terribly quickly. A bit of a side project. Bottom end should be sorted within a couple of months. The second head could be a bit further off.
