I just had a Re13 for a turbo cut today so he still has them and knows them off the top of his head.

Ok some more updates,

Yesterday i have order from Avonbar, their Phase 3 turbo cam kit which has 400" lift plus my 1.5 rockers should be interesting it comes with valve springs, cam followers, plus their ARP head stud kit with flanged nuts, ARP rod bolts, ARP main bearing stud kit.

I have ordered from MED engineering their Omega forged +20 pistons and rings, en24T flywheel bolt and lock washer, en24T crank pulley bolt.

from altered image coach works (Paul Vickers who builds miglia motors) i have ordered their Steel main bearing cap kit which has a centre 4 bolt main cap, and steel end caps.

all this should be in my hands in two weeks if not less.

from karcraft i have all other items including bearings, thrusts, gaskets turbo oil pump etc.

I have also ordered soem stainless braided brake lines and have mounted my brake booster under the drivers side guard wiith a stone shield around it.

i am hoping to have it back on the road by mid november to late november.

wow grant you are going all out on the rebuild :D Cant wait to see it back in a running 100%, get it done for the 17th wakefield day 8)

Are you going to get it dyno tuned this time? using the same turbo setup?

yeah should be a good one, but no can do on the 17th its my brother wedding.

as for dyno, absolutley straight to castle hill, thsi turbo setup will remain till the 8 port is done.

wel i just got back from GR's and bumped into the good doc there too, we all had a good chat and GR is checking over my head and looking at my guides and valves etc, he has given me a tool so i can now measure my piston height in the block to work out my comp ratio and work out how much a have to remove of the pistons to achieve the desired comp ratio of 7.5:1.
we also spoke about cams and a few other ideas from GR too.
should be able to take pistons to him on monday and then have them all back and fitted to the rods by the week after that.


ok update, finally all my bits from avonbar inc cam kit have arrived, i have also had to go back to a std stroke crank to try and get my comp ratio to a better level, i am aiming at 7.5:1, so the capacity now is a 1293cc, as the motor is currently at 8.8:1 i need to find another 6cc of total chamber volume, GR is going to do a little more head cutting plus a small amount of maching in the pistons to find that extra combustion chamber volume, so the dummy build has started and all is good, so i will go to GR on monday and give him some bits and then a weel later will start the final build up.

been too long having withdrawals :oops: :oops:

ok so GR is moding my head a littl emore to get a few more cc's in the chambers 2 maybe 3 if he can and then another 2 in the pistons will be enough.

here is a pic of my head as it was prior and when i get it back i will put some up of the GR mods.
