As per the title this thread will follow the progress of my complete teardown and build up of my spare 6A13TT for use in my 99" Facelift Legnum
as so far the engine has been accordingly stripped into each of its components, and part by part they are receiving a heavy amount of degreaser to get them looking semi decent.
Images to follow in the next few days when the garage gets a clean out
in short the plan is
a general rebuild, gaskets, bearings, cambelt, waterpump ect... along with
-flowed and rebuilt heads with the possibility of larger valves, titanium valve springs and retainers and a cam regrind
-forged pistons and rods
-custom exhaust manifolds supporting 2x GT2860R turbos (or maby not ball bearing depending on cost)
-acid washed block with rebored/honed bores
-remote oil filter and cooler from the block eliminating the need for that silly filter neck that hangs down.
-uratane engine mounts
-possibly something with the crank but unsure at this stage
so far all I have done is get all four urathane engine mounts from prothane usa. hopefully have the installation of them documented this weekend.
and i have been visiting all possible shops in chch to get them on the hunt for forged internals. both CHS and S.P.E.C are on the hunt for me will post prices as soon as i know them for any one intrested
and I have taken the factory manifolds to a laser cutters to get flanges made so i can weld up exhaust manifolds, pics will also be uploaded when i receive these back.
any opinions and ideas welcome.
