looking good mate

i feel like a right n00b looking at your pics, i'm quite good with cars and always thought the 20v was a 5cylinder (4 valves per cylinder) but then seeing the open engine realised that it is actually a 4 cylinder, with 5 valves per cylinder!

well i haven' really done much research on the 20vt!

its coming along nicely now mate, can't wait to see what power outputs it gets, going to be mad quick!

I'll pop up tomorrow after you've finished and give you a hand mate. Looking good though

You are right, some of the 20v engines are 5 cylinder. The S3 engine is a 5 cylinder engine.

Are you sure? If you're talking about the S3 which has the same engine as the LCR then it's a 4 clinder 5V (per cylinder) engine.

Im not 100% sure. Its just Im sure a few people who have supercharged there mk2's have taken the S3 inlet manifold and cut the 5th inlet off.

S2 inlet manifold

 

[suj]

[ian_cupra]

[roly]

Thanks for the comments guys, can't wait to get it running again

Engine is finally off the stand and has a gearbox bolted to it, car is being towed to the workshop tonight and i'll be making a start on the install friday

All being well it will be running by sunday

that's one way of doing it, or getting a 1.8t inlet manifold, and cutting and welding it to an ABF lower half

LOving the work you're doing on this. Hope all goes well for you. You're certainly moving a long nicely now though.

Is there a misses who is loving your work and absense during dinner, evening and only sees you drop dead tired in bed? Just as much as mine does so many days? lol

 

[The MoffMeister]

ben with a miss's? he bats for the same team mate

 

[roly]

Only after that night with you mate that changed me for life

 

[roly]

It's alive!!

Got the car up and running this afternoon only covered a few miles but all seems okay at the moment, hopefully it will get a run out a bit later but i'm using it on trade plates at the moment so don't want to go to far.

Tomorrow i'm going to give it all another check over and a clean up as it's cover in dust.

Will try and post some pics once i'm done

 

[crezz]

i bet i can imagine your smile now buddy! good work

 

[flappy]

Good to hear its running again, did it start first time? Notice much difference yet?
