Engine Vamp's built engine install progress (updated with pics)

Vamp's built engine install progress (updated with pics)

Pics from this weekend. First, the damage from the old engine.


Here's a shot of the engine bay after towing it to my parents' house.


The upper hole hit and cracked the power steering pump, most likely causing the fire.


The AC pump saved the radiator from the two chunks of block that came off the front.


The camshaft timing chain gear lost a tooth.


This caused the chain to jump and bent the camshaft positioning socket.


The oil pickup got hit by flying rod as well. Note the piece of block still attached.


The underside doesn't look too pretty.


There must have been 150 small chunks and shavings of metal in the pan.


Here's the fire damaged area.

And now some new engine pics.


Sleeves installed and bored out from 79mm to 82mm.


Deep dished 8.8:1 pistons.


Crower rods with MWR bearings.


I'll need to take an underside shot of the head showing the new valves.


This is a modified 2ZZ-GE head gasket.


A shot of the new valves installed.


Reinstalling the cams after getting the head bolted on.


Steve needed to use three extensions and an impact to get stuck bolt out.


The engine and transmission are finally out.


Time to sit and relax for a few.

nice pics!

Ouch!!!

Nice pics and let this be a warning to everyone, This is no iron block, build it real good before attempting to boost it, it'll be more cost effective!!

Did you get all your problems solved, blow back issues and everything?? If yes why was it doing so and how did you solve the thing?

Nice piston and sleeve kit man, looks real good on your new block. Keep us inform on your build.

Do you have a pic with the stock and Crower rods side by side?

Thanks. The blow by was from a clog in the oil catch can. I got a new DC3 catch can to fix that problem (you can find a link to the site on my websites FAQ page). The install might be put on hold because I have to move over the next couple of weekends, so time is limited .

No.

you have a nice build going on, your using a 1zz correct?

i think im going to build my 04 corolla ce im trying to go all motor im looking for some pistons and rods and cams do you know a site that i can get em at

Hey Vamp, did you coat your pistons with a high temperature coating like Swain's?

Yes, I'm using a 1ZZ and no, I didn't coat my pistons.

I swapped out my 1ZZ water pump for a more efficient 2ZZ one.


The turbo, downpipe, and wastegate dump tube.


Close up of the turbo showing the the oil return fitting.

Very nice and clean setup. Everything seems to be just in the right place.

lots of work going on there nice pics 2

Nice work man. Hope that it will have no problem from now on.


I think it's 2007 already .

Hey Vamp, does your car visual inspections for smog? And of course does it pass emissions?

I haven't tested it since I put the turbo on, but my friends turbo 97 passed emissions without any probs.

That is a killer setup, what size turbo and wastegate and what psi are you set for?

T3/T4, 38mm wastegate, and I think I'll run it around 20 psi on pump gas if possible. Won't know till it's in and tuned.
