Zepp Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 This lump has been sitting in bits for months. Finally spent a few hours putting it all back together this weekend. Most folk opt to upgrade their engine. I've 'detuned' it on this build by fitting Busa pistons rather than the JE's I had in it. I have however done a bit of porting in the intakes and exhaust. A first for me on such an engine but I did have quite a bit of success years ago on Mini A series engines by porting and fitting larger valves from 1800 Marina heads. I've put the JE's on the shelf for now ready for an all out motor in a future project. 6 Quote Link to comment

Pheasantplucker Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 What turbo are you using? I really like the look of a draw through set up. Sit that motor in front of the TV, something good to watch for a change! 1 Quote Link to comment
