Ive been busy.. F20C AE86 (56k badness!)

[PazzaAE86]

Thanks for the kind words guys I

know its not a 4AG and isnt the proper engine for the car, but i simply couldnt justify spending the money required to build a 4AG that made the HP i wanted.. Im also hoping that the S2000 motor will be alot more streetable and reliable in the long run, rather than a highly strung 4AG.. Im all for kick ass 4AG's, but as i say, i just couldnt justify it, it didnt make as much sense (to me) as the F20 swap... So there we have it!



Hi Miguel, hope you are well! And i appreciate any feedback too!

The motor isnt as close to the rack now as it was in those pictures, i managed to adjust the posistion of it slightly and remove some more non-essential material from the block, sump and rack to give me a bit more room.. That, coupled with the fresh TRD Engine mounts should hopefully do the trick!

The manifold however is very close to the chassis leg as you say, about 6mm. I dont think it will touch under load etc but i do think you are correct on the heat issue. Ive been meaning to heat wrap the exhaust and stick a little heat reflective tape on the inner leg, something which i'll do shortly to try and help.. I'll also be getting rid of the manifold as soon as i can and selling it on hopefully, id rather take a stock S2k manifold and lengthen the primaries to make it fit, as i get the distinct feeling that the current manifold isnt going to yeild maximum power for me.. But we will see!

Being honest, im sick to death of the car right now (i recently bought an M3 and im enjoying it so much) but ive only to iron out a few niggles, and im sure once its finally finished and im ripping around the circuits and such it will all be worth it! Im certainly hoping it will be fast, at the very least!
