Re: Twin Turbo EG33 Build - cozykat
twiddles thumbs waiting for next update...
I got a TD04 for free last month and can get a few more cheap currently and with soon picking up a MS2 for the SVX I'm getting that itch and it's all your fault Marisa! On the intercooling note. I"ve seen a couple pipedream drawings on the wall at Synaptic3 using RX7 OEM intercoolers and using them as part of new manifolds. The two main guys over there are secrect SVX nuts and their mother is on her third SVX. (Sweet old lady about 5' tall... maybe 80lbs! LOL) On the FMIC note I would think a long skiny core up front with do the trick just fine. Plus just adding in a hood scoop just in place to run fresh air over the engine and cool the engine bay will provide all the cooling you need. Along with a nice say PRW radiator. Seriously this radiator rocks! I actually have to NOT turn on the heat in the car till the engine warms up cause it cools so efficently in the winter. Even to the point that if I set the fan too high it cools too much and I get blasted with cool air...

Re: Twin Turbo EG33 Build - cozykat
Okay.. so I am terrible at updating. Well really, there wasn't much to update on.
I decided to purchase Mike's 244 duration intake camshafts with the 264 duration exhaust camshafts since they seemed like a good option. From order to delivery it took about 2 months (I think) due to it being a custom job. Mike has to acquire cams first since I opted to keep my stock cams. I consider installing my stock cams and dynoing and then swapping to compare results. However, I kinda just want my engine together already. good news: started assembling my block. A coworker who is a veteran mechanical engineer offered his workshop and guidance. His job is building/rebuilding engines while testing the effectiveness of oil lubricants. Considering it is my first engine build from the ground up, I've been hesitant to simply start slapping things together. While I can follow directions, I lack the experience to have developed techniques and tricks to ensure a successful build. So its been a great opportunity for me to learn good techniques. The short block is assembled and its starting to look like a long block:

Re: Twin Turbo EG33 Build - cozykat
Thanks This will probably be one of the slowest builds EVER!
Side note: As Shaun (yourconfused) mentioned way earlier.. I like the idea of a FMIC.. the alternative would be air to water intercooled. I am still struggling with my final decision and probably will until I simply purchase one or the other. I don't think I posted up pictures when I played with the Perrin FMIC (purchased for the STI) and the bumper I got from Dayle:

Re: Twin Turbo EG33 Build - cozykat
Looks very nice! I plan on dropping the engine out of my parts car sometime this year. It runs well but has 160k on it.. i don't plan on such a nice rebuild, just a very stockish overhaul one of these days.. i would love to see that in pieces, looks like fun!

Re: Twin Turbo EG33 Build - cozykat
Looks extremely nice. How long will you wait before you introduce forced induction?
By the way, I like your dial torque wrench.

Re: Twin Turbo EG33 Build - cozykat
Yeah, in the STI we had to remove the bumper beam altogether. I don't want to do that in the SVX but I don't want to hack anything either. I need to see what the dimensions are for the Mini FMICs. Maybe they are narrower but just as long... Again, I may just go air to water but it was cool to see as far as the bumper was concerned, the opening was just about a perfect match to the intercooler.

Re: Twin Turbo EG33 Build - cozykat
In my garage. And yes some progress made, but I'm slow. I was supposed to have everything sealed up this weekend but got side tracked. Breaking down and ordering wiring harness.. Having exhaust and intake manifold coated but I'm fighting myself about the iris and if I should just remove it.

Re: Twin Turbo EG33 Build - cozykat
Mine seems to have disappeared!
The same, there's a reason the thing's there: It's a performance part. Naturally, by adding some turbo action, it either helps the same, is just in the way, or... could be tweaked? Is it possible that it might give you some sort of performance benefit by being activated at a key RPM that may be different than when it is now? IIRC, it's closed in the lower RPM range. I'd consider keeping it for the off-boost moments?
