Full rebuild

[Fbseis]

Motor spun out of timing and so long story short the whole build essentially with the motor in the car sucked (of 2 years) until it conked one day with no turnover.
Then comes the unthinkable which was to actually take the motor out and fully torn down to examine.

Come to find out nothing was damaged but before it took a no start dump one down shift caused a loud tick from all the valves in the head, only between idle and 2k.
So unknowingly enough kept driving and pecking at the issue until one start up it did then poom no cel no nothin just turns off. crank after crank with no turnover brought me back to the drawing board...actually building the car with all the parts wanted to put in.







Not sure how this will turn out but either a really long thread or a multi post but here’s to show how agonizing it is to see your car sit in a garage slowly but surely progressing towards your goal

info on what parts you're planning to install? What's up with the intake? No filter on it?

essentially a type r bottom end. stock crank has to be replaced with better cooling new valvetrain parts puts a stock z7 motor at 12.0:1 c.r.

But for the intake there’s a screen on the tube end then from the elbow to the v stack is opened

wait what? A type r bottom end from what year type R?

z7 block and crank but with high compression pistons, chromoly flywheel, and oil pump from the fd2 ctr. Hardest part was finding 87mm pistons with same compression as the fd2

Really interested to see what kind of power you get.

will say there should be a difference on the butt dyno

I'm excited to see how this rebuild turns out!

This is quite an awesome undertaking, can't wait to see the results!

steadily piecing together from 135 to a 265 pump





ending the night with the prl filter relocation

I like where this is going

What pistons did you end up with?

What pistons did you end up with?

seems weird but they’re listed as the PNC ITR pistons with 11.7 ratio which is the compression for the fd2 meanwhile itr’s are 11.5. talking with the seller being a good price on ebay says without a mill/resurface the compressions at the fd2 ratio. also Nippon being the brand they got decent reviews but for the specs it was hard looking for that particular compression to fit stock bore without extra block work and still be cost effective

Meanwhile just now finding reason for the timing and no start condition



The right pic is a broken chain drive sprocket compared to stock.

more to come, debating on starting a new thread showing pregress. not to boast but for 9th gens these kind of threads just aren’t around. waiting for the bedroom to pile up with more parts

 

[webby]

You can just keep updating this thread too!

as of yesterday a lot came in the mail with some parts on as they came



most piled up waiting to get everything put together. crankshafts getting the order placed then soon the rest to get the key turned and cant wait

What exedy clutch did you end up with?

 

[bauer311]

I wish I had that many parts waiting for me, lol. You've got a lot of fun ahead of you

This picture isn’t helping my cart part addiction in the least bit. So jealous.
