UPDATED 04-28-09 Engine together and temporarily in the car to transport to another shop to do paint work and final assembly.
in the next few weeks i will begin building my na vr6 engine. Everything is ordered and on its way. as soon as i start building i'll post progress pics. and in the end a dyno. hoping for 220+WHP.
plans:
-CCH ported bvh
-Piper 276 cams
-Wossner 11:1 pistons
-Mk4 headgasket (will bump it to 11.5:1 comp)
-Gruvenparts complete lwt pulley set
-Autotech aluminum flywheel (8.3lbs w/starter ring)
-complete block reseal
-ARP Hardware on the bottom end
-already have 42dd 2.5in test pipe and Autotech 2.5in catback
-OBX longtube style header
-Ported manifold and throttle body
-GIAC Cam chip
I will also be replacing lots of other parts on the motor so almost everything will be new.
only 93. the chip should pull enough timing to deal with the compression.
im running the mk4 HG on my vr and I got a regular compression c2 chip and it pinged BAD when the car got hot, I got the high cr chip and it runs great now. If the giac doesnt work out for you DEF get the chip from BFI c2 stage 2 cam+high cr
haha sry for the lack of updates, im in NJ visiting family and friends. I will be returning to FL on Wed and will continue to update with new progress. Got some more parts coming in the mail already as well.
what work did you do to your cylinder head?
i noticed your cylinder head had that same corrosion my spare head has. Mine is pitted and nasty looking. did they fill it in with weld and deck the head? or did you just leave it and dont see an issue?
hes still working on getting some transportation to get up to the shop to work on it some more (45 minute drive each way)
hopefully soon there will be some good updates for you guys
ok, i got a car registered and insured. now i just have to get to where it is and put some gear oil in it and wheels on it and its good to go....still a waiting game.
i am having the car finished while i am at Marine boot camp, so i hope the guys keep posting updates. but the work is going great and the whole car is going to be painted as well. still trying to come up with a good color or colors.
