Dash being assembled. Removed old instrument cluster ( thanks to 6k RPM limit.LOL) and put in Evo Cluster ( Woot! I have something from an Evo in my car now. Haha)
Engine almost ready to be plonked in. Minor issues like Power steering pump bracket, AC compressor bracket are to be sorted out.
The 4G94 brackets wont work as this engine was not meant for this CK chassis. Hunt for 4G93 bracket begins
A slight change of plan too,
1) Rebuilt the engine with stock internals
2) Plonk it in, start the car,use it for 1000-1500 kms.
3) Get niggling issues sorted out and improve reliability.
4) Once reliability is acceptable, remove Stock ECU and install Standalone.Get used to the software, tuning part,in short get the hang of it.
5) During this time, work on making Exhaust manifold since Turbo is almost here. Keep it ready.with necessary piping etc. Ready to be installed.
6) Pull out the engine, replace the old pistons+rods with forged ones replace main and connecting rod bearings and again plonk the engine in with the turbo.
7) start the car with very low boost to avoid blowing up the engine.
8) From here on tune for boost as Jitu mentioned. |
