ive been thinking of building a non turbo engine as i am only p plates, just throwing this out there for ideas.
what i want to do is fine an old ed engine and strip it, start from block and new pistions, unsure if forged or high comp or what to use yet. use stock bottom end, probably just get the crank balanced again. then, do some extensive porting of the head, bigger springs and big cam. it will be a long time coming money wise, just seeing if anyone has done anythning like this? im sure i could go well into the 200kw as guys are getting 170 from their ed's. just been something ive wanted to do for a while.

Hey mate I'll be watching this thread with interest to pick up what others have to say. I am doing the same thing but with an EF block + AU xr6 head. I have got a cam regrind, vernier gear, springs, valve sets cut, port n polish, lot of bowl work, head shaved. ALso I have au injectors + 300kpa fuel reg.
Bottom end will be balanced and honed, not boring out at the moment, this is all chewing up my cash as it is. I was also going to be using standard comp pistons etc. After a tune I was hoping for 150rwkw, but if there are guys going 170kw+ I'd be interested to see what else they have done, or I could be pointed in the direction of some build threads that would be great. Cheers |

Better off building a engine for turbo then when your off you p's drop it in.
A worked n/a engine with high compression may not with well with a turbo if you ever decide to turbo it.

I got an EB motor you can have for Nix, I only live at Gymea, still on the mounts but no gearbox attached, easy to remove, BYO crane though. let me know.
Bores looked ok when I had the head off, rings are all there, just all in the sump. Blowby extravagana on this motor. perfect for a rebuild. Let me know if your interested. Would like it gone sooner rather than later or I will just dump it with the shell early in the new year.

Just to clear a few misconceptions...
You might have to get a bore regardless of whether you want one or not; after you strip the engine down you will have to determine whether you can get away with a hone. I daresay on a lot of E series engines that have over 200,000km on them you would need to go 20thou over. Before you start pulling apart your engine you need to figure out a realistic budget and what you want from your engine; having made the rookie error of pulling down an engine before deciding what direction you want to go I can attest to this. I would recommend building for N/A - if you seriously plan on putting a turbo on your car at the end of it don't bother rebuilding now, save your money and when the time comes plan your build. The worst mistake you can make is starting a project without the money to see it through to completion (and then you will be left with an engine not as well suited to N/A which you have spent money rebuilding). I would suggest getting an ACL rebuild kit if you can, bang for buck they are pretty good value (I think last time I checked around $700 for race series which includes pistons/bearings/gaskets). If you are spinning the spanners yourself will get the thing rebuild for a few grand. Anyone telling you you can get a reliable turbo set up for less than $10k is dreaming. Sure you can run it off a standard engine and replace it (and the transmission) with a cheap replacement every 6 months, but it is hardly reliable.
