New Engine Project

[boosted]

Spot on this is going to be good! What apex seal are you intending to use?

[exiled-viking]

I have ask Clive (MRP) to get the seals from this company ( see link below ) in stead of the ones in the rebuild pack sold buy him there\'s nothing wrong with the ones he sells but these look a little more beefy and come in different sizes so when the engines striped down we will know which tolerance and size to get.    see the link below

todays up date

First thanks to clive MRP for the big delivery of my rebuild kit yesterday NEW Aluminium Radiator, front slam panel, engine rebuild gaskets, Racing beat oil cooler pipes, and the best part the chat and updates, also thanks for taking the other engine off my hands to London to start the bigger better more modified ported rebuild with the supercharger and engine mods i hope to get another 20/30 more BHP from this new project.

Today got all the rear end bumper and exhaust pods/ and front slam panel  ready for collection to night for spraying. over at seasend, spalding

Tomorrow the  racing beat exhaust mods will be ready for collection from graham at custom chrome,

The front end ATH hinsberger which clive is getting me will be highly recut and  modded I would like a very aggressive look to the front end.

 Have decided that as now i am fully retired that theirs no rush to get the car on the road so i giving my self a good year /18 months, for the rebuild and the engine mods and up graded remap for the HKS ECU engine management system,

At the moment i am working on amanda,s polo GTI going to get it wrapped for her birthday  :wink: got to look after my number one girl:rollin:rollin:Viking

Just a little up date I have got a second engine for the project after the first engine was a none starter i had to source another one which we got just over a week ago.

So the new street ported engine,clutch, supercharger, with Racingbeat oil cooler lines, and the new radiator, new coolant hose,s, new pulley kit,fuel pump, and full racing beat exhaust system these new bits can now go a head and fitted.

Today i have spent the full day panel beating the rear end out, now finished this and resprayed it, now waiting for the new bumper and exhaust surrounds to be delivered hopefully the rear end should be finished in a couple of weeks, then i can start on the front end which will take a little longer but still on track for getting the car on the road for late september/october:Giggle

The best bit is i have done a deal with the insurance company/loss adjuster they are paying me to fix the car, its not much an hour but who gets paid to do there own project.:Giggle:Giggle:Giggle

Well after talking to the build guys and Clive over the weekend ( by the way thanks Clive good day out) I have decided to bite the bullet I know I said I have  bought a running engine but it\'s housings have got some mileage on them so it could lead to complications at a later date, the only way to over come this is to buy two new housings this will help Kerim and j dee in the long run and give me peace of mind.

I told Amanda that it was a little more to the budget all seems well she said how much I then said I tell you when you get back from work by this time she had forgotten about it :Nono!

So I think Clive is going to get a new order as soon as I can get to the bank :Hammer

So that\'s another £1300.00 approx to the build money where dose it all go :Typing:Typing:Typing

The rear end body kits back from the sprayers so I will get this going on Thursday

THE CAR SARGA ..For those who follow the car project thread ...Sorry guys not been around for the last five weeks or so due to getting the car sorted had some ECU FAULT CODES that needed sorting out along with a few wiring faults, in the end the bloody engine had to come out due to most do the wiring is under the super charger and the found that the crank sensor and end plate where at fault the crank timing plate two of the teeth where bent with a 3 mm deflection and the crank sensor had overheated this caused along with the ECU CODES AND WIRING FAULT TO BLOW THE SEALS thank god for Goopy Apex saved the engine they just bent back and did no internal damage any other seal would of shattered and caused massive internal damage so I started from scratch again and it's been well worth it !!!

A Word Of WARNING any one buying D585 Coil Packs, I bought a coil pack set 18 months or so ago we found out these were a cheep Chinese copy and if fitted could and would have caused a massive failure these where bought through a very reputable Dealer/trader thank god they where a spare set any way I have a New BHR spare set now .  I got Essex rotary to supply me with another set of BHR ones as they say Accept No Substitute!
