Kiahatsiu's 05 Wagon: stepping it up again.

[senator]

Yep! That was the first thing I though when saw them. I remember reading your thread on NASIOC. I hurried over there and compared the data. They will be getting replaced buy the Jun items I have. Funny, the guy I bought the heads off you mentioned your car a few times. He also mentioned he might have a buyer for my old engine. I had to explain that wouldn't be considered fair trade.

Thank fark this thing finally shat itself.......

Get cracking with the forged bottom end.

btw your old block would make are great coffee table.

[kiahatsiu]

Coffee cups would fall into it.

Stuff is happening.
Spec C DAVCS heads have been reprofiled to suit 2.5. Running a standard thickness gasket we should end up with 8.4:1 comp. The heads were rebuilt and jun cams I bought from Garage88 were fitted along with a set of bee hive valve springs with Ti retainers. The heads have been drilled to suit the 14mm head studs. They arrived at AMauto where the car, and bottom end, is about a week back. I get back to Australia tomorrow so I will head up and have a look at it all in the next few days. Although I often speak out against well presented cars, the plan is to make this all pretty and stockish looking under the bonnet, well, as much as possible.
Hopefully it all goes together smoothly and makes a bit of power. My plan, and this all depends on Coyote and Matt Spry's patience, is to do a 98 tune and an eflex tune. I am actually starting to think it is cheaper to run a car on eflex.
Oh, and knowing me, I will probably build another bottom end and have that lying around at my parents farm.

I'm very excited to see what this beast goes like once done

Will go like the clappers

After yesterday I desperately want to rip out my block, sleeve it, throw some forgies in there, balance it all with some 272 degree cams and a 6466 to pump 35-38psi into it and make 450 awkw

This is where I see your car going

Mick

Or you could fit a manual, hold 27psi at peak power and make 450Kw?

[dr20t]

I reckon I'm making 350 atw now on Scott's dyno which is conservative

So if it was on a dyno south of Albury, it would make 500 in NSW? If so...

[<GB>]

The Sydney comment was a joke. but I wouldn't think one would see 450 atw tbh

[kiahatsiu]

Nothing is as easy as it seems. Heads and block don't want to do the mating thing. Story of my weekends too.

There is some difficulty in getting the heads onto the studs. Not being one to fuck about, I have had the heads, gaskets and bottom end shipped back to the shop who built them in Sydney. They will sort it out. It appears that the head studs are bent.

[dr20t]

That's shocking

Good luck and hope its sorted soon. I wanna see awd helis
