TORSPD: NEVR

Looking good to go!!!

Ready to add some boost in no time. That I am very anxious to see.

 

It's slowly coming together, but what a tight fit. I have a much better design waiting in my head, for when the time comes to build the kit for @Lucario Runner. Definitely more room. Here is how it progresses though.









Running out of new material, so I have had to get creative. This is why I made pie cuts and used some old material.

 

Finishing touch for the day.

 

Little update on the BRZ LS swap. Got the transmission properly located so that the shifter linkage clears the chassis. Then installed the driveshaft to check fit. Good good.

That is 9/16" of drop spacing. Still need to check the transmission to differential angles.





Got the subframe support brackets back from Polydyn. Had them ceramic coated due to the proximity to the exhaust manifolds. They were already rusting, and the car only has between 10k-20k miles.




Lastly we have the proximity of the intake manifold to the chassis. Only a certain hair can fit through there.

 

It has been a good day.

 

Had a little time to finish this section up.

 

Your making some good progress!

 

Thanks mate! Material on order should be here soon, and I can have it all finished up. Most likely next week.

 

Engine is finally ready, I received this pic today.

I know this might be a long shot but do you @Torspd know of anyone who would be willing to sell a super damper? I cannot find one in stock anywhere and there would need to be a bulk order for ATI to make more.

 

What is the HP on that going to be ? Do you have a build thread ?

 

Money shot!!!

I do not. Have you tried Summit Racing or Jegs?

 

Like to know where you get 12 point metric bolts! And they look like SS…?
That’s one sweet looking engine!

 

when I first started the build I had an ambitious goal of 800hp. But that was 7 years ago…..once I do add forced induction I will probably target somewhere between 400hp-600hp. At this point I really just want the truck to run and drive again.

unfortunately I do not, I should have started one to document the journey for others, because having all of the information that torspd has provided here has been extremely valuable in getting my engine built.

 

thank you! All of the 12 point metric hardware is ARP polished stainless that I ordered from summit racing. I was able to find direct replacements for all of the fasteners.

 

I have tried both, but unfortunately no luck.

 

you should really put one together and just list all of the parts and who did the work etc

 

Dang. Well, with the internals being balanced, the OEM one will do well enough.

 

One step closer.

 

@Torspd i was looking over my engine yesterday and noticed the knock sensors are horizontal and not at the correct 15 degree angle per the factory service manual. These things are not in the easiest location to access. The only reason I can think of that the angle might be important is for wire harness strain relief. Do you think it’s worth the effort to try and correct or will it be fine as is?

 

Go ahead and adjust them since the engine is still out. Easier now then later.
