any chance of updates on your engine build?

Thanks for reminding me Sam, I forgot about over here.

2007 saw me take out 3rd outright and a class win in the NSW Clubman championship,
but showed up some flaws in the poor little Sprinter against some of the bigger engined cars,
Mainly grunt !!!

So with 2008 a new year i plan to rectafy that, by building an engine that gives every spoontang driver wet dreams.

Now I had the Dosh to buy the Full Atlantic Engine that wa on sale a couple of months ago, but it would have cost me heaps to make it usable for rallying, for starters i cant run a dry sump oil system :angry: so I had to start from scratch.

Until Terry From Road and Track just happened to be selling what i was looking for in the form of a fairly strong bottom end.
With some decent Forged pistons, and some nice Carrillo rods, and all the hard work done.

hmmm compression



So all i have to do is sort the top end out,

I have been scouring Ebay just looking for the right parts to pop up and so far i have got some good stuff, like the Toda Flywheel, and the TRD Atlantic double row valve springs. Fortunatly Atlantic 32mm vavles are easy to come by as well.

All i am waiting on now is the Head to be ported and flowed so i can choose a cam profile, but hopefully something with a powerband between 4000 and 9000 will be atainable.



I will post picks of the work of art head work when finished.

Ben.

more pics later would be great thanks, any idea on the rough compression ratio this combination will end up at?

New engine build has stalled a little, with me not chsing up people,
But in the mean time, I have fitted the Toda flywheel and a new clutch to the current engine,
and installed an oil cooler,



I am going to chase the Guy who is doing the head work for the new engine to see where its at :angry:

i didnt know you could run a lightweight flywheel under clubman rules. Well in WA you're not

i just sold my toda flywheel because of it...it was barely heavy enough to be a flywheel!

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (dr1ft-pig @ Jun 23 2008, 08:27 PM) </div>Yep probably heading back from Rally Queensland,



We got the F16 win again which was good, not getting enough coverage on the Ch10 coverage as we would like, but some is beter then none.

The ARC has had Rally Melbourne cancelled, so the replacement round is the Tarmac Challenge in Tasmania,
so we are going to bolt up the Tarmac suspension, throw on some semi slicks and have a run. Unfortunatly the extra cost is delaying the new engine
Should be interesting still :2thumbs:
