    WTF!!! It's back! WTF-323 update

    Just to recap, anyone who's been paying attention will know that back in January i had an acco and after a long delay, i got the car back in early may. 2 days after i got the car back it was off the road again due to foreign object damage in cylinder no.2 which in the end, required the motor to be rebuilt. Seems there's been a few rebuilds going on lately, and anyway, here's my piece of the pie.


    40thou overbored block


    Wiseco pistons, shot peened and balanced GTR rods


    Balanced crank


    All assembled with ACL Race bearings on the mains and big ends.


    Ported, polished and reco'd BP N/A head


    Polished Fidanza adjustable cam gears


    I'm trying the talked about exintake cam mod the yanks do.


    3rd go at lowering my overboosting. Redrilled a new hole in the wastate flap arm to provide a longer pivot throw.


    Even more metal taken out of the port. Also you can see that now the flap itself moves further open.


    Timed with Gates Racing belt and assembled


    New cam cover paint job. and waiting to go in.

    There's the engine for you. Now comes the body.

    Well there you have it guys. No power figure as yet, as I'm still running in the engine. Also have to source new 550cc injectors so that I can make some more power. So ar so good though, she cranked over first go and has done a trouble free 330kms of town driving. So with that in mind...we should be in for a good show!! Hope you guys like as much as I do.

    All comments welcome.

        ah, that is so sexy. I love the astina body, and you have just made it even more. That's looking great, can't wait to hear what power its pushing.
        No car! I soldz it. Now I have a truck. I like it, but apparently it has a hard time keeping up with a slightly modified 4WD protege with half the hp. Neat.

          Looks great Rob, you've put a lot of car and work into the car and it really shows. I have a similar engine build myself so I can't wait to see what it does at the dyno. Also, how is the overboosting?

            Yup I am doing an enbuild too but I only went .5mm overbore. Wiesco pistons baby
            Block is almost done, cylinders are overboard for Weisco pistons, pro gram billet main caps have been line bored, and my chinese EDT rods have been machined to right specs. Everything has been balanced.

                      This is our quest; as the tail lights fade into the distance let it not be the jeers of others that say we can not do what others have, but to let the whistle of the bov the whine of our turbo and the roar of our exhaust announce to those who may say it can not be done that we will not go quietly into the night we will not bow to mainstream but rather blow by them doing mach speed laughing our asses off and giving them the one sure sign( ) so that they will understand their place in life when it comes to doubting a driven individual who owns a Mazda BG with a boosted BP
