    Gt Turbo. Engine Build. No#4

    PIC HEAVY

    To add to my other rebuild threads.........

    This is rebuild no#4.

    This engine is in my current 5 (pic on profile)which has been off the road for coming on 9 years!

    the chap who i bought the car off had it sat in his garage doing nothing for 5 years i bought it and did the same for 4 more years up until now.!

    Ive just finished getting the car ready to sell.
    i had the car mot'd before i went away so as it is it has about 10 months M.O.T
    it also has 6 months TAX .

    i will put a for sale add in the classifieds section when i am ready to sell the car.. it should be long.

    im personally not moving onto anything. my views have changed regarding fettling with cars as i just dont have the time anymore.

    but seen as you mention "Honda b16-18 powered civic". ive got the latest and the last of the type-r engines sat in my garage,brand spanking new with only 2k miles on it.
    now this engine is going in my bros b16 vti civic. should be quite an animal once finished.
    id rather have a little fun in other peoples cars as im just not interested in doing anything with cars myself anymore.

    correct the front bumper does look cack. i didnt want it looking like that but somehow i ended up over trimming it i actually wanted to keep the slats and fog lights but i just couldnt fit the bumper without the fogs catching on the intercooler hoses and the slats also where against the intercooler.

    Great work as always Raj

    I thought this car and engine was the one you had all ready to sell but then at the last minute had the turbo trouble with? I don't want to bring that all up again, I'm just interested to know if the engine has been rebuilt again since that episode?? I thought this engine/build was all ok and ready to sell/go after the turbo issue was resolved?

    yes its the same car/engine there was nothing wrong with the engine at all.
    all i will say is that the car is producing boost after the turbo was sent back to the company that refurbed it. all is going well now

    ive not yet driven it as ive got no insurance cover although the car is tax'd and mot'd

    Smart. Yeah I know the turbo issue was sorted.

    So this thread is charting the rebuild that led up to that issue. Not documenting a rebuild since. Phew

    Get it driven, run in and on the market kid
