Fair bloody play mate!

I think its also a case of not being scared to 'have a go'

No where near this level but since joining the site if tinkered with things i would never have thought of a year ago..

Apart from calipers.... lol

Hooch, your rods are too long.

Good work! Building engines is the best bit! I once hitchhiked 60 miles carrying a bare mini block and crank to get some work done because I had no other means of getting to the machinists!

 

[h17och]

lol luckily i have my trusty van, so no hitchhikin lol

i did wonder how the pistons were going to miss the valves as they do sit hi

I was young then! (So it was a loooooong time ago). Yes, I've seen your van. You obviously get your business by word of mouth and not by flashy signwriting.

 

[h17och]

in the last pic i posted you can also see ive painted the engine mount and aux bracket.

lol, a van covered in flash writing means flash tools....which in time means broken locks and no tools. i keep it stealth

all i have writen on my van is "the only tool in this van is the driver" lol

i want to put on my works van "no tools in here company to tight arse to buy any" lol

looking good again hooch what you reckon on time scale?

 

[h17och]

april, manifold dependant

 

[h17och]

coming along nicely now. ive had to go back to working weekends as ive run out of money. ive been enjoying having weekends aswell

so tonite i bolted the head down and timed it up. few other bits also!

ive converted to head studs

fully built awaiting equal length mani!

im planning on running a badger5 mani but due to time it looks like i may have one custom made.

im proper excited now. just hope all goes well on start up

Looking good.....I'm at the same stage as you except I'm waiting for Jabba to build a new baffled sump. Obviously I have the APR manifold already fitted.

What is the exact spec/breakdown of yours now.

Who's mapping it?

I may fit a better intake later on but just want to get back on the road.

[h17och]

perfect touch maybe mapping it. i need to look into it/them more really

whole spec is listed in thread somewhere

1.9 20vt
9.5:1 comp
gt3071r
tial external wastegate
equal length mani
peli diff
porsche brakes
porsche seats
spec stge 3 clutch

plenty more but thats the worst of it

[nick-barnes07]

looks good hooch, get some videos up once its in there and running, who is making your mani up for you, i may be getting one of bills as they look ultra impressive, and can withstand the heat, your going to need a **** hot manifold to withstand the amount of heat that turbo is gonna be producing

 

[h17och]

im looking at going to rs fabrication to have one made. thats if bills one takes too long

 

[ibizacupra]

I am chasing progress of mine now. I need the first off to check fitment is ok in ibiza... then confirm jigs ok, then production can commence.
I also have a.n.other tubular manifold on order of an alternate design but that one was 8 weeks delivery, so 6 weeks to go. Just trying something different out on that score.

 

[mk1golf_jack]

i was going to use perfect touch way back, a mate of mine recommended them, in hoddesdon right?

i spoke to the guy and he seemed alright, think they got dyno dynamics rr but not 100%

How did you work out which was best ratio to go for 9.5:1?

 

[h17och]

low comp allows hi boost

 

[traumapat]

engine looks amazing.
