DK AE86 renovation and turbo project - Now driveable

[Veiss]

A LOT has happened.

I'll try to separate the different areas of work. So here goes:

Firstly the engine project:

As mentioned before, I'm going to turbo-charge the engine, with a 'bit' more power than the original SC12. So engine upgrade is a must.

I disassembled the engine, and upgraded the main- and con rod-bearings. I also installed a 2mm steel head gasket. But this will give me a lower compression rate than I want, so I had 0.2 mm machined off the engine block. The valves and valve seats has also been re-cut. The cylinder walls has been cut, so the new piston rings can be cut to fit.

I assembled the lot, with brand new gaskets, ARP head studs, new piston rings.

I managed to find an old inlet manifold, which I have sanded an polished, so that it will look nice in the engine bay.
The old fuel-rail and the distributor thingy also had a bit of a polish.
The valve covers has been carefully sealed, so no glass from the glass blasting can get inside. After the glass blasting they will be painted in the same colour as the car.

Now I only have to install the timing belt and a couple of other things, and the the engine is ready for mounting.

Here are pictures of the lot.
