Some photos of my 2.3L build

1st of all thanks to all the members who took the time to post their builds ups. I hope my build will provide some usefull information to other who want to build a motor.

These are some of the parts that went into my motor

WISECO PISTON & RING KIT K596M86
EAGLE RODS CRS5900MB3D
EAGLE 100mm STROKER CRANK 2439375900B7
APR MAIN STUDS ARP.207-5401
APR HEAD STUDS ARP.207-4203
ACL ROB BEARINGS 4B1185H
ACL MAIN BEARINGS 5M1219H
ACL THRUST WASHER TW-1834A

FERREA VALVE LOCKS K10035
BC TITANIUM RETAINERS BC2100
SUPERTECH INTAKE & EXHAUST VALVE GUIDES GDE-MI66-I/GDE-MI66-E
SUPERTECH INTAKE & EXHAUST VALVE SEALS VS-M6.6I/VS-M6.6E
SUPERTECH NITRIDE VALVES 1MM Oversize MIVN-1009/MEVN-1009
KELFORD 272 CAMS 4-177-D
KELFORD VALVE SPRING SET KVS63-BTK
4G63 3RD GEN LIFTERS ???
HKS CAM GEARS HKS 22004-AM001
HKS TIMING BELT HKS 24999-AM001
HKS HEAD GASKET HKS 23001-AM004

HKS GT TURBO KIT GT3037S




Started with a spare EVO 7 block that got crack tested, cleaned, machined and 0.00mm decked.



Bore shot.



Time to bolt the crank up



Crank shaft end play check. Well within manual limits.



Pistons installed



Head studs and 1.2mm gasket



New Evo 8 head with the supertech valves. The combustion chambers got a bit of work done at the machine shop.



Shot into the exhaust ports. ports cleaned up and matched.



Head bolted down using ARP 3 step instructions



After reading lots of posts about balance shafts I decided to go for the machined down option. Machine shop did a good job of machining the weights off.



Shot of balance shaft installed into oil pump and front cover.



Shaft in block



Dummy fitting the GT3037S kit



Pickup, baffle and oil pan fitted



The motor as it stands now. Motor goes into car in January and if it dosn't make 400 whp on 98RON a GT35 and water meths will get thrown at it

WOW very clean build, great job.

I've got the same 3037 turbo kit (although I converted to external wasetgate dump) and am considering a 2.3 stroker, so I'll be really interested to see your results; especially spool-up.

Good luck
