Mk1 16v Project

[twin eng, twin turbs]

Why not just drop by and have a look? I did it ages ago. Yeah i just machined off the casting behind the ring gear. I figure if i need to take more off that's easy, but if i take too much off i can't exactly weld it back on..

I know it's all gotta be balanced. When i get my clutch etc and i've got the money i'm taking everything down to Graeme Silk in Canberra and he is going to bore and hone my block, get my crank ground and linished and get everything balanced in one go.

Well when you get it all done your arch enemy at the strip and the track trent is building another vtec warrior and wants to race you! and me! It's a civic with a worked b18c and 150kw + atw's. I am sure this will fire you up big time. You now have the chance to beat him like you wished you did before he sold the type R.... Inspiration for finishing your car dude!

I'll beat him on the track. Not interested in street racing. I don't know whether the Mk1 will be fast enough, but if it's similar i'll just out drive him.

How much is this rice rocket of his going to weigh?

I dont know how much it will weigh but last time he scraped every bit of sound deadening tar off the type R not to mention removing absolutely everything that didn't need to be in it. So my guesss is as light as possible....

This could be a great race!!!!!!

I know i will flog him again ha ha 6 car lengths on the 1/4 is an ass kicking VW style

Haha, yeah yeah yeah i'm getting there! I should get my head back tomorrow. Yesterday, Bonk said it should be finished today. If that makes sense.. Haha.

Once i've paid Bonk, it's on to getting the block done, the crank ground and linished and then everything balanced. Then i can start putting things back together.

Andy (from Orange Engine Reconditioners) hasn't finished with it yet. From what i understand, Bonk has finished with the ports, just waiting for Andy now. I spoke to him at the Vanessa Amorosi concert (he was there with his wife and kids) and he said he'd been flat out and hadn't done it yet (OR my old man's HEMI heads..). So soon... ish..

I'm in no hurry at the moment, can't afford to do much at the moment.. Damn Caddy..

Why would i whore that out? You're giving it away for free!

No updates really. I've been making stuff for the dragster this week.

Oh wait.. I'm getting a set of light weight lifters. 30 grams per lifter lighter.

Are you getting an adjustable alloy cam gear and alloy intermediate shaft pulley for your 16v engine? As i am looking into it now, the cheapest i have found from an ebay store is $175 for the adjustable cam gear. What do you reckon?
