Just need to measure up my spare block to double check a few dimensions before I order the pistons. Cant wait to see how yours goes mate. have a you got a turbo upgrade in mind to suite the new engine? Im still unsure what to do when I finish mine, probable run the motor in with my current setup then upgrade, turbo, exhaust and fuel system later. P/west 2.3 kit should be suficient for my power goalsAgain, great work mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may change to an FG exhaust manifold and dump, as they seem to flow better than BA/BF style manifolds (I currently have 4" SMB dump & 5" Cat), but all depends...For now I am waiting for some nice SS Cap Screws for the front and top covers, and as soon as they arrive, I will start planning the engine swap with current engine. What are you hoping to achieve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But If I had to but a figure on it, I want all the hardware to achieve about 650rwhp on the power tune just to shut the Expensive Daewoo wankers down on the "occasional" dyno day and with a smaller/altered tune to suit a quick quarter time, My goal for the quarter is low 11s on full street tyres, currently 12.2 at 119 full street trim including full tank of juice, hard lid and stock dunlops, im aware that my mph is relatively good so Im pretty sure my puss 2.0 60" time is the reason I havent seen a high 11 with my current setup. I will look at getting some KU36's or something similar, But will never go slicks. Some people hang sh*t on my for running street tyres but in my opinion to have a quick street car, a true one, all you should have to do it is drop the tyres pressure or not even do that. So basically, just chasing a reliable relatively tough street car in street trim. Thanks to a few guys on here im also researching tuning etc and will have HP software within a couple weeks, as I want to keep everthing on my car built by me, and the tuning is the part missing currently, so eventually I will have that covered also.My apologies for the long winded explaination, Like I said im keen to monitor your progress, I know builders dont like giving away their secrets but im genuinely interested to hear how your engine peforms/sounds especially after I saw that you are particular about noises etc. Considering my car is street car I want all those things for mine, I want it drive nice, idle nice, pull harder than a 15 year old and feel like it should have come from the factory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very similar in my objectives to 45T-XR, as I am the original owner of one of the first 'T's' from 1992, and she's not driven often, but I like to keep her clean and in good condition, AND to have a very fast car that to the untrained person sounds almost stock, well except for the bellow coming from my Dual 2 1/2" quad tipped exhaust system :sungum:Just wish those bloody SS bolts would turn up soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first xr was a mercury silver november 2002 ba mk1 xr6t sedan with 5sp manual, factory leather interior and premium sound with colour screen and factory 18s. The big 5 spoke ones, all I did was take the centre muffler out, slam it anf put a awc djr bobtail wing onim trying to find a set of those to swap my 20s that I have on my bf ute now. Man I miss my old car :(Shame about your screws, hope it all gets going real soon, good luck and though im sure you will, keep us posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
