Series of pictures that shows the engine build process. The last motor was standard except for forged pistons. This motor was built by Mick at Micks Motorsport in Greenacre, NSW, Australia and has: Aries forged pistons, Spool forged H-beam rods, ACL race bearings, ARP head studs, O-ringed block, copper head gasket, Tomei Procam 270IN/EX Duration 8.8mm Lift cams, Tomei valve springs, Supertech titanium valve spring retainers, adjustable cam gears, Gates performance timing belt, new Nissan oil pump. From this point, i bolted on all my old gear: Standard inlet manifold, 770cc injectors, custom steam-pipe exhaust manifold, Garrett GT3076R with 0.63 ex housing, Tial 44mm external wastegate with 2" pipe, Volvo fire-engine? 250hp supercharger, 'The Blower Shop' Gilmer style pulleys, 3" exhaust system with boost actuated 2 1/2" exhaust by-pass, standard S13 5-speed with Extreme 5-puck brass button drag clutch. I also re-did the intercooling piping and blower by-pass valve, removed about 1 metre of pipe, fitted a new PWR intercooler (1), and an ebay intercooler (2), plumbed back the blow-off valve into the turbo inlet, fitted a box over the pod filter, and Matt black painted everything. The air path and plumbing path is the same as the 'Lancia Delta S4', so if you Google image that, you will know my system.
We left the run-in tune at 280hp @ wheels, with the blower set at around 12psi (it can go to 20psi, adjustable via a turbo-smart bleed valve on the blower by-pass valve actuator line picking up pressure on the blower outlet pipe), and set the turbo at 19 psi via Haltech boost control on Tial wastegate (it will be set at 28psi when i go to E85 and I.D 2000 injectors, plus we will dial in the cams).
Its easy and fun to drive as no lag, and has a very linear torque curve from around 2500rpm up to 8000rpm. It sounds unique as combination of blow-off valve sound, waste-gate chatter, turbo whistle, screamer pipe, blower whine, and exhaust by-pass noise ...
