Id like to share with you guys my first stage of my N/A project in the works...

I finally completed my bottom half portion of my build which includes:
- B18c1 block bored out to 81.5mm.
- Balanced Crankshaft.
- Eagle Rods
- JE custom coated 12.5 : 1 compresson forged pistons.
- Welded Nuformz block gaurd welded to the block.
- New OEM oil & water pump.
- OEM rod & main bearings.
- AEBS main studs.
Sorry for the crappy pics...I can't afford a new camera. Because all of my money is going into the build.





Now that my bottom half is completed, I now focus my attention to the headwork. I will update with more pics later on as the build progress.

nice looking block man... keep us updated with the build... are you doing all the work urself ??

 

What all are you going to do to the head, i.e. port work, cams, valvetrain etc.?

 

looks good so far keep this updated..

 

very clean looking, really like it, so what are the plans for the head??? keep us updated!!!

 

Damn... That block looks brand new...

Did you spray it silver?

 

That must be one of the cleanest blocks I've ever seen.

 

Looks sweet man. I'm doing almost the identical setup accept with arias 81.5mm @ 12:1. What cams are you goin with?

 

very nice

 

Do you have any plans for the head?

 

looks sick.....what cams are you thinking of running?

 

Thanks for the comments. As for the head portion of this buildup it will include the following:

Head: 99 ITR PR3-4 Head
Internals: Rev dual valve springs
Rev Titanium Retainers
Rev Flat Top Stainless Steel Valves
Ferrea Steel Valve locks
Skunk 2 Stage 2 Camshafts
ARP head studs
STR Cam Gears
JG 65mm TB
AEBS Intake Manifold

I'll hopfully have the head put together within a few days and with pictures of the progress to follow.

 

Sounds like a strong set-up you got planned, keep us updated

 

People say that it's not a good idea to beef up your valves with skunk2 stg2 cams...
But I'm running skunk2 stg2's with .1mm oversized stainless steel valves, have had no problems, and they've been installed for the past 5 months. Just thought I'd clear that up for anyone who might have considered it.

 

so clean
