Project pics (56k beware)

[blk_srt]

Basically I'm redoing the top end of my motor. 1g intake manifold, 1g throttle body, sending my 2g head to my buddy to get port matched and polished, small 16g, 550cc injectors, finishing my exhause(3"turbo back no cat), possibly getting a maft, looking at a tubular manifold, FMIC, I think thats it but there maybe a few more little things. Anway here are some pics of my progress and a few of my schools shop.




Valve cover removed about to pull the head


Pile of parts


More parts


Kind of blurry but you can see my fmic










Head removed


Another shot


Shot of the valves




Thats about all the further I've gotten but the easy part is done no I just have to put everything back together and have it run right

Looks like so much fun, and a great learning experience! Man, I wish my parents would let me do that kind of stuff. I guess I need to move out lol

Sweet pics man, keep up the good work.

Its kind of nice because there is a shop 4g63t(1g auto) on an engine stand so I can use that for reference

Instead of a tubular manifold, you should just get the stock exhaust manifold ported. It'll flow the same (if not better) and should save you a bit of money. Everything else looks good.

I was thinking that to but when I took off the stocker It was warped again(after having it machined a few months ago)

I like how your parts are nice and organized.

Mine are under a tarp infront of the car right now lol

That way I know where everything goes when I put it back together lmao, I have a box that I just threw all the bolts in, so I guess in the reassembly my theory is if the bolt fits, thats where it goes lol. BTW I know that if I use the stock head bolts you have to replace them every time you pull the head, but if I were to use some ARP head studs would I have to replace them to?

The bolts on the 4g63 are 12mm 12 point so if you use a 6 point theres a better chance you'll strip them

Both of our perfectly running cars are torn apart in the search of more power lol

the bolts on the 420a are 15 mm

I would suggest then to go to sears and get a set of their bolt extractors, they will grab onto anything and they are like $20 for a 5 piece set

i'm going to get something called a gator grip i think is what its called its got a bunch of metal pins inside the socket and when u push it down on the socket it forms to the bolt

I have one of those, it really didnt work for me as well as they claimed it to.
