It took about two years between saving up, getting parts, and actual work but the build is done... all thats left is re-wiring an aem harness, and getting tuned. I wont go into the parts list, but ill post the pics. Enjoy

Before:






































The balance shafts were removed but I couldnt find the pics. Bumper is back on and im currently running the ultimate till the aem is ready to go in... cant wait.

Big thanks to Caveman and Noics Garage for the parts, and helping hand

 

drool.

 

Youre actually the first person Ive seen to knife edge the crank. Very nice build you have going there. Any hp goals? Also what turbo setup?

 

Right now im still running the greddy kit. i know its gonna hold me back, but cash dont come easy... lol Hoping to squeeze out as much as i can and save up to upgrade.

 

I feel ya on that - Ive spent ALOT of time building mine up. Now that you have the motor built youre ready to go bigger turbo wise down the road

 

Nice!

 

love the hoist!!!

intresting that you knife edged the crank...just curious why you went that route? deff give ya some cool points for going old school with that mod!

in anycase looks fantastic and wish ya the best of luck.

 

mostly did it for the hell of it. Its my first build, and heard of some of the benefits yadda yadda yadda less weight, blah blah, spins faster/ rpms drop faster... wanted to try it out and see... so far, i have noticed that it does "feel" like it revs quicker, but the rpm definately drop faster

 

nice build!

 

looks good I'm going that route due too overboosting and killing the old 07 motor. Enjoy having your car back down time is a killer.

 

BUild looks great! Good luck with everything on the car.. Good luck finding a tuner for the AEM.. Not to many shops or tuners, take the time to do it right, expecially for the tc and its DBW.

you make me want to call world motor sports tomorow and buy the built motor. nice build man

 

thanks guys... cant wait till its ready

 

don't our cranks sit above the oil?

 

right above the balance shafts... porque?

 

glad to see you guys finished it.. i saw this getting built!

 

because that is usually the reasons afaik that people knife edge the crank so that it had an easier time rotating through the oil.

 

generally its done for both "cuting" through the oil, and for weight loss. I did it for the weight loss... this with the fidanza flywheel makes the rpms fly

 

i see i see.
