Thread: New engine swap and plans...

Hey guys and gals, just thought I'd post up here and start a swap log of sorts here. The good ol' 9.5:1 DE finally became nearly undriveable, with under 100 compression on cylinders #1 and #4. This is after over 4 years of boost at no less than 10psi and almost 2 yrs at 14-16psi. It's held out great, but there's over 210K on the clock and things are old. So, out she came (pics to follow) and I'm getting ready for a new setup. The old setup was a GTi-R Mani and T28 w/370's at 4 bar, z32 maf and an SAFC. The new plans are:

W11 w/S4 cams and BC springs and retainers
GTi-R Mani with GT28RS turbo
Nismo 740cc injectors
Z32 maf
screamer o2/dp from the forum?
Calum R/T ecu
Mezierre electric water pump
Koyo rad
Profec-B EBC
Prothanes
B&M short shifter from ebay!
Stainless brake lines


I already had the z32, a walbro 255 pump, z32 fuel filter, AD22 brakes, genII's, Zeitronix, etc. etc. I made 280ish whp with that setup. I'm hoping for 325-350 whp on this setup without pushing any limits or getting crazy and popping the motor right out of the gate!

While the motor is out I'm cleaning the filthy engine bay, swapping out the master cylinder, redoing some of my IC piping, cleaning up wiring, etc. I've eliminated the AC and PS, and I'm cleaning up the harness after having the SAFC cut into it.

The old engine is already out, and I'm going to be selling off some of my old stuff, like the 370's, T28, old o2 and dp eventually, new water pump, and any engine parts anyone wants. This is a 91, so I guess the cam might be of interest. The motor was running fine, I suspect the only real problem was the rings, with how bad the compression got. It looks fine under the valve cover. Anyway, I'll be putting up some pics, should have the motor within the next week or two. Comments or suggestions welcome, but not necessarily heeded!

before pic:

awesome man you will love the DP turbo! That thing is crazy! I don't know how it will react to the bigger cams, but on s3s I can tell you the car will be a beast! What kind of power do you think that turbo would have on 19psi with your setup? My buddy has a disco on his car and it pulls like crazy. It gave the VET a real good run for the money!

im running A GT2871R @ 10lbs made 300whp/295wtq and at 17psi made 405whp/400wtq...with the DP you should easily be able to see the numbers you are looking for

This car will move out man.

Good luck with your build!!! hope we both see good numbers... I want to hit 400whp @ a psi level under 20

Nice build

do you already have these? or do you still need them??

talk to me man!!

oh yeah, selling the T28?? let me know first please!!

yes, the t28 is up on the block, it has some shaft play, but didn't ever smoke. IDK how much, $200? Buyer has to realize it may need rebuilding. Yeah, I have everything there, lines, h2o pump kit, ebc, etc. Just gonna be piecing together little stuff, I still owe you a list I guess, Keo.

He has Meziere, Profec and koyo already, he already has the B&M and I think he has the prothanes to.
