Alright, a fairly hefty update since the last one.
I havnt had a chance to update the thread, but i ahve been compiling photos, and had some time on my hands tonight so i have uploaded them all.
Firstly, i recieved the parcel from Japan with a whole lot of goodies. But most of them not mine. The two that were, were my HKS Heavy Duty valve springs here:
 
Hopefully ill be able to take some pictures of these next to some TRD springs so you guys can compare the difference. Its pretty hard getting spring specs out of HKS and i dont want to do spring tests on something that small, and hard to come by.
Next out of the box was my Cusco cambertops. Or "Piro ball mounts" in good Jinglish.
These are quite well made, although i found out that i actually needed the "height adjustable" version, because of a little problem which is easiest to show in a photo:
As we can see here the bolts which locate the camber mount are a bit too long and hit on the upper hat. The first idea i had was to simply cut them down, but if i do that i found i only have like 2mm clearance which isnt nice at -5* camber. Also i found out that the height adjustable version have a little spacer which sits under the ball joint. Upon hearing this i got a simple idea, which ive gone ahead with. And as such im getting a spacer machined up. Should be finished tomorrow, and ill get pics for you then.
With my flywheel, i finally got time to finish off assembling it completely, and here is the wonderful finished result. Also in the other picture you can see the huge difference between the old friction plate and the new one ive gotten. Even a different surface, and it looks like the new one has been heat treated, wheras i dont think the old one was.
 
On Saturday i had a chance to start assembling the engine with the help of a friend. Unfortunately my camera batteries ran out, so i wasnt able to take many photos. Here are the ones i took though, and i intend sometime to make a little writeup on changing clutches. I also had to put on my less dented sump out of the few i have. One is holed, and so in even worse condition than this one. I think ill put a sump plate in too.
I finished off painting the engine bay, and got the engine mounts, flywheel, and clutch assembly on the engine before i realised that they gave me the wrong throwout bearing. During this time my camera batts ran out and i didnt have any more, so here are the photos i have taken after the assembly.
  
The flywheel bolts were torqued up to 54lbs/ft with redloctite stick. Kinda like a uhu stick, but with loctite. This was done while a mate of mine was holding onto a breaker bar and securing the crank pulley bolt. The crank pulley is meant to be tightened to 112lbs/ft so it wasnt going to snap. The pressure plate assembly was initially installed one or two turns to just hold the clutch plate in place while i was locating it. Since i dont trust the generic cheapo locator tools i tend to do all my locating by hand. In this case the pressure plate has three raised areas which make locating quite easy. Its simply a matter of nudging the clutch plate around until it is equidistant from the edge of the friction plate on all sides. Ill see if i can get a picture tomorrow of what i mean. The friction plate was then slowly tightened in a diagonal fashion 1 turn at a time until the bolts were tight, and then it was torqued with loctite to 45lbs/ft. This is where i got stuck as i realised they had sent me the FWD AE92 (where the 100kw engine comes from) thrust bearing instead of the T50 one, so i had to wait till Monday to order one. Ohwell, extra thrust bearing for me.
After waiting 2 days to get the new thrust bearing in i have gotten it pressed onto the mount and will be installing it tomorrow. Hopefully ill also have the time to bolt the engine into the bay, and then start running the 4AWG cabling which i have for it. And the ecu loom too.
Things are progressing along quite nicely.
