I'm using skunk2 pro1 cams in one of my engines and they have a pretty much flat torque curve, can post a dyno graph if you wish, I am very impressed with them as I have the same torque a 4k rpm as 8k

@teg boy cheers for the link, engine purchased and hopefully be here for the weekend, :nice: @Karleg6 what turned you against the g23? I'm going to give it a go see how it turns out, it's not goin to cost a whole fortune, if it turns out **** it won't be the end of the world, don't tell me you...

Looking unreal now, :nice: clear side repeaters and an oem mudflap kit would be a nice wee touch I think, the rear looks a bit bare and I don't like ek9 rear lips on an siR, well that's my opinion anyway lol

I see you got the bumper anyway, I told you it would look epic:win::fapfap:

No I'm goin back to n/a, and I will prob keep the turbo and use it on a bseries, hseries turbos seem to be crap, it would be grand for a few months and then would start getting smokey and excessive blow by, got so bad that I had to empty catch can daily, I remember seing you mention you were...

After some research i have decided I'm goin to build a g23 engine for my euroR as I'm fed up of the h22 and it's stupid frm liners, and don't want to go to the expense of sleeving it, I already have all the bits lying around to build a decent g23 but the only problem I'm having is sourcing the...

i take it the broken line is the previous tune, serious improvement

I'd second what vtec6000 said about getting even a used set of pro1's I'm useing pro1's in my engine, and it's making 145lbft at 4500 rpm, although that's b18c, the diferance in low down torque compared to oem type r cams is really noticeable pulling out of corners

top work,we really don't appreciate how easy it is for us to have ek9s over here when we see the effort you guys go to build the closest thing you are allowed to have to one

Good work will be watching this build carefully, did a similar job to my ek9 I took the complete underside and engine bay back to bare metal, was that 230 hp at the wheels or flywheel your h2b setup made? Sounds a little bit low,

it needs pistons and rods to finish it off, yes it's a stock bottom end needs pistons and rods to take advantage of the head, I'd be thinking the porting and cams made the biggest differance,

yea never intended goin this far with it, it was only ment to be a run about until the ek9 was done, but there is no turning back now, i take it you know iain? yes difference pulling out of corners at low speeds is unbelievable, only problem now is traction issues even ad08's dont seem to be...

me either i put a pair of plugs in it and it ran grand but didnt trust it after that, it didnt do that for just no reason, yea it was the bearings i think he never pulled it apart, he just replaced it with another one, must get back up again really enjoyed the last day, but im wile paranoid of...

a very weird discovery, it had the tips on plugs 1 and 4 pushed up, no bearing damage or nothing, its as if the rods were stretched.

fairly major update to make on the wee ek3 took it to kirkistown track a few months back and caused a bit of damage to the engine, so took it home and pulled it apart, and as usual rather than just a standard rebuild i decided to mess with it, it received jdm b18c bottom end, ported b16b head...

loving all the custom work going into this, its the only option really as there is no such thing as a free flowing quiet exhaust off the shelf, :nice:

As aonghus says, stock valves are fine, I'm using them in my engine with pro1 cams, as for driving it on the standard map, having the cams decreed in right would be just as important,

some amount of blood sweat and tears gone into this build karl, guessing its in the low 800kgs? ;)

The ek9 has been forgotten about for the last few months but now things are back on track and I have been giving it some attention, First up is a set of itb's :win: Had to do a spot of chopping to the bonnet to get it to shut, angle grinder 1 carbon bonnet nil, lol
