[T11MNM]

What\'s the reason for the rebuild, i thought you had just gotten it compression tested with good results?

[ENVYD]

and its staying with the twins!

yup lol
 
as for the rebuild the water seals or some thing like that have gone, alot of buring water, overheating, hoses gettin to hot and poping off andthe fact i just want a new engine lol

[AshRX]

Probably around 300 - 330 rwhp if all parts changed ie injectors, fuel pump etc

[ENVYD]

what size injectors and pump will be needed?

Alright fella!

Mine is at Lindops at this very moment!  Looks like all the Newcastle cars are having a few probs of late!

If its any help im running 316 BHP at the fly with 0.8 bar boost, standrd fueling and obviously standard twins.  Ive got all the bolt-ons fitted though (Apexi Power FC, GReddy down pipe, straight thro mid-pipe, back box, filters, uprated SMIC etc etc).

Good luck:)

Are you running any sort of boost controller with that?  Or just decent mapping?  Just wonder wether you get any boost spikes?

[D2BBA]

Oops, yeah running a GReddy Profec B Spec 2 to keep the boost stable.

Very nice unit and easy to use too.  Pip mapped the car and told me not to touch the boost tho, lol!

Just waiting on a progress report now fella, dropped her off last Tuesday.

Not sure when she\'ll be ready.  Getting a few essential bits fitted whilst the engine is out and then an MOT put on.

The car will be hacky after a trip to Chester via flatbed, so give me a chance to wash and polish before you see it!  I\'ll have to fetch her down to the local meet.  Failing that head up to Crail like im doing in April and get some re-build miles on yours!

hmm whats going on at crail? and what date i am away the 4th 5th and 6th of april and will not get my car back till the week after or so... i would not mind like as it will take me years to put run in miles on it as i never use it! btw is your engine ported at all?
 
steven

[D2BBA]

Its on the 13th April mate.  Banzai magazine will be there.

Im like you, never use the car much so it\'ll be ideal to get some miles on it, and then I can get me foot down quicker rather than later!

Im off up the day before.  Booked me and the GF into a nice country stylee hotel to score some points, being as ive been talking nowt but cars lately!

Engine has standard porting.  Did think about getting it ported and sorting the fueling, but its quick enough for me and i\'ll probs be looking to sell in the next 12 months, once finished.

Just thinking bout selling mate, not 100% sure yet, as dont know what id get!

Figured id give myself a year to think about it!  Maybe fancy a \'99 model when they are available next year or something different.

Are you getting Lindop to pick your car up?  Mine was too low so I sorted my own out, but it wasnt cheap
