SAMS BLACK LCR GT2871 build. THE END :( !!!

[Ronin225]

I like the 'red bling bit' or as IE call it, a manual tensioner
Have you got some new main studs too?

 

[sambryant]

lol ron nope not ordered them.

 

[Ronin225]

I've got some ARP ones coming, they hold the caps with the bearings to the block supporting the crank.
Have a look through the pics in james.l's RR as there are some good pics of his engine build

update

went to badger 5 this weekend to set up my mbc and turn my boost levels down. last week i made a fantastic result on bills dyno 285bhp but my car was running silly amounts of boost, was spiking at 1.9 - 2bar just over 3000rpm. not good for the rods. so i took bills advice and we fitted a mbc.
we have turned the boost right down, infact i think its very low for a stage 2 map, 1.4 bar (20 psi). but now the car holds this boost much better than it did before.
i made around 280 bhp but with 0.6 bar of pressure less. to be honest i think the car is faster and more consistant than it was before, the mbc is keeping things cooler and making my engine safer. so its a around good result. im happy, bills happy and my car seems happy.
id also like to add that bill provided a great service and i left a very happy customer
few pics of the mbc fitted







remember guys i can turn up the mbc to release the extra horses but im not going to take the risk
next on the list is
water meth kit
downpipe to stop the EGT's getting too hot
uprated rods

hi mate just a quick one what are these like to fit? how do you set the vacuum pipes up? thanks buddy btw love the car man, engine bay is a work of art.

small update

hello all. just a quick update, not much progress but a few bits bought

here is my new milltek exhaust fitted, much better that the old one. sounds perfect too.


here is a preview as to what my engine is going to look like (more oem)



porsche water coolant and oil caps, classy



i picked up these 15mm hub centric wheel spacers for £16, bargin





some nice detailing products to give the car some much needed tlc


new turbosmart hybrid valve, dont have much hope for it but its worth a try



my IE timing belt kit has arrived but left it at my parents house so cant get any pics yet, very nice for what it is.

i have also upgraded my exhaust valves i ordered. i now have supertech inconel valves on the way, as recommended by bill at b5.

last but not least, im swapping my wheels back for standard lcr alloys, 2 reasons, i have a soft spot for them and im liking the sleeper look.

thanks
all

[LCR 225]

Lots of big changes then Sam bet your excited to get started, Its going to be like a whole new car. I'm sure with your attention to detail it's going to look mint!

 

[sambryant]

evening all. just thought i would share my latest engine rebuild parts that have turned up.

IE timing belt kit


ARP Head bolts


Oil and water pump from robdons car, only 3k old


i also tried out my latest poorboys cleaning products and thought i would show off a few reflection shots







my con rods are currently being rifle drilled, that was a total nightmare trying to find a company to do it.

supertech inconel exhaust valves should be with me this week from the states

all thats left to buy now is piston rings and gaskets.

 

[RDS]

Get them ordered then bet you cant wait for the rebuild, this is going to be awesome

 

[RS6]

looks great mate your all over this!!

 

[t0m]

Lovely reflection there Sam

 

[sambryant]

Get them ordered then bet you cant wait for the rebuild, this is going to be awesome

Lol taking my mrs away and buying a ps3 last week kinda put me off buying the other parts until next payday. im getting very excited about the build now, really cant wait. i also have some news from relentless but cant say yet. my lips are sealed

 

[dannychapman10]

How much were the oil and coolant caps mate? They look fantastic quality!

 

[sambryant]

i got them from a friend who works at porsche. cant remember what model they are from.

hello all, on friday this little goodie arrived





i love this liquid gauge, been so handy already. should have bought one ages ago.
i did 2 power runs. temps were -4 outside. 295bhp and 290ftlb i know its not 100% accurate but even so pretty impressive on 1.4 bar and calculations are made on airflow ect.

i also ordered a forge 008 dv. i only really bought it just to see if it is any different to the 007 in terms of performance.


also my supertech inconel should be here this week, i hope anyway
thanks

 

[cupra_r_ick]

Your such a sucker buying the 008
