absRTP B6-T (lots of pictures)
Hi, I think I'm gonna post my build thread here and contribute to this new forum, ...
This is more a built thread or an instant build:
I bought the car in August 2009:
April 1989, SU RED
Then it was painted Sunburst Orange (Dodge Caliber) in summer 2007 or 2008
When I bought it:
It was bone stock with 190 000km (118 000 miles)
No A/C
No P/S
Can't tell what package it was because it has an unpowered steering rack with Daisies,
Somehow, I think the Daisies were 1991, so they most have been had lately.
I think it's a base package.
First step forward for a B6-T
I first rebuilt the engine in May 2010 because the engine was drinking 1 Gal of oil every 1000 km (600 miles)
I was looking for a bearing and gasket rebuild, the pistons and rods were fine and because the early shortnose 1.6L are suppose to be 323 GTX B6-T non turbo, I though it would be a good thing to put this B6-T to his original designed form.
Here is how it was when I took it out
Rebuilding / Cleaning :
Alot of carbon deposit on the pistons
The timing belt was about to give up
I bought this little tool in a local Autoparts, very helpfull and specialy designed for 323 and Miata
Inside the block
Cleaned piston/rod
I don't have any picture of the head, but all valves seals were changed, the surfaces were planned and the head was deeply cleaned by Napa
And, ready to go, after a big week
I drove the car like this for a month or two
Then I did the last step to had the famous "T" at the end of B6
-Garrett T25G out of a Nissan Bluebird
-BEGI 1.6L cast iron exhaust manifold
-BEGI 1.6L Stainless Steel Separate dump tube 2.5" down pipe.
-Flyin Miata 1.8L stainless steel turbo exhaust 2.5" straigth pipe - no cat
As it was standing in September 2010:
Dirty
Clean
2010-2011 Hibernation:
Winter mode
Spring checkup and first start up of the year
Few hours later, sitting next to my all seasons DD driver

-Denso EVO 750cc injectors
-Maybe sequential fire and I would like to do sequentiel fuel, but I would need a MSII

Sadly, I don't have any recent shot of the engine bay...

Nice, another Canadian!
I don't have alot of time right now, I think the final modification will be done during the winter and the dyno tune should come when everything is gonna be done, I still have to troubleshoot some things around that does'nt go as well as I would have like to... Like my LC-1 and my E34 VTPS, both are unplug right now.
