2001 PY Type R project Phase 2 complete
First phase of this project was an engine rebuild. I didn't want down time so I swapped in a Donor engine from a GSR. The Rebuild took longer than I had expected so I moved Phase one of the project to the Exhaust. I replaced the Stock Exhaust with a Spoon N1 which some of you might remember the vid and sound clips from back in October.
The Engine rebuild moved to the second phase of the project and I recently completed that and then the install. Well on this past Sunday my R finally has a new JDM heart. I selected a JDM 98 Spec engine to rebuild
Bottom end was rebuild and bored .25mm over. Crank was cleaned and checked for integrity. Pistons, Rods and bearings were all supplied by Spoon.
The block was beadblasted to get rid of the corrision and ceramic coated for isulation, corrision resistance and asthetics.
The head was torn down cleaned and Spoon vlaves were lapped in with a 3 angle valve job. The ports were polished and the bowls were massaged for better efficiency. Spoon Valve springs were used and Titanium retainers hold them in to further lighten the valvetrain. Spoon's High lift cams were selected for their mild characteristics yet effectiveness and are also accompanied by Spoon's Cam gears mating the head to the block is SPoon's thin headgasket.
I have also incorporated an ABES Intake Manifold and a JDM 4-2-1 exhaust manifold.
I have to say it was a pleasure and a learning experience to rebuild this engine.
