Phase 1: The engine
After comparing cost of acquiring a "possibly" good, used engine to that of just rebuilding my engine. I am opting for the rebuild.
Additionally, i can rebuild the motor to make more power and be more reliable. So really its a better road to follow down.
So what is the outline of the build?
- NRS 2mm seals. (the big expense...)
- 9.4:1 rotors
- Street port (for simplicity and longevity)
- Various cooling tricks including a home brew coolant seal method.
- Misc. oiling mods.
the extras i will need will develop as i go. First things first, the motor will need to be pulled and broken down to see what is the status of the internals.
The reasoning for the named parts above is mostly due to my needs. I need low end power and more power everywhere. Between the altitude, the turns and the constant up hill climb, i need more power and sooner. The NRS seals should allow me to put out more power with less worry on engine failure. The 9.4:1 rotors should give me a quicker spool up and better off throttle response.
