The Big Rebuild to my S70 R

mastermechanic · Oct 26th, 2008, 20:53

I decided I needed more power and have been rebuilding my S70R engine over the last 13 months to handle a major upgrade in power and performance.

Below are some of the first picture of me stripping the car:

My next post will show my upgrades I am going to do.

Below is a picture of the engine going to re bored and balanced:

Here is a picture of the upgraded high beam rods to handle big horse power *look at the difference* 83 and 84:

Here are the upgraded JE Pistons with groves for some piper cams:

Here we have an upgraded steel head gasket:

Here are 2 piper cams that I had made by piper cams themselves:

This is a 19T turbo with a bigger exhaust wheel in it for better boost - this is solely for running the car in - I will be fitting a GT30 on it after:

Next is pics of the engine back from being re bored

I envy you your skill level, I have rebuilt engines in the past but never ventured into modifying at this level, what is the estimated bhp going to be?

I am hoping to get around 500bhp at the end of it

What are you doing on the transmission side of things? Looks a great project and I wish you all the best with it

Well apart from the S70R LSD which I have upgraded I have fitted uprated driveshaft and gear cogs to handle more power. Also an uprated clutch and flywheel

Looks a nice project so far, i've got to send one of my blocks off for a rebore sometime soon. But first i need to create some space in the garage to have a clean engine building area.

What are you going to use for an exhaust manifold???

Hi What a great thread this will be, My other car is currently being rebuilt but i haven't the funds to get the rods and pistons done so it will be on standard internals for now,

Gary,
