DaNnY_LaD's IHI'd Cupra ( End Of a Eara 08/11/2009)

[DaNnY_LaD]

ive got a 2nd hand cylinder head here fully built up..what price would i be looking at to have it ported and polished..? with new seals and guides?

Would i benefit from it? i have a smallport head at the moment...

I know the Vf23 can only flow 330bhp maxium so if i can do any engine work before it gets mapped to improve it would be great...

defo do a head port. £500 region i believe. faster spool up, smoother drive etc

DO IT. i have a contact who can sort you out a treat

PMSL you try and tell that to my misses...Could imagine it not going down so well..


Thanks Al looking forward to getting it..

What price am i looking at for someone to fit my rods? labour only?

Edit: Also once all my bits are on...could i start it without the downpipe and lambda connect and just let it idle to bring it up to temp..
to make sure theres no leaks ect...

i wont dare rev it...Just let the oil run through it all and get rid of any air blocks in the coolant system?

 

[DaNnY_LaD]

What would people recommend either S.E.M Manfiold with Larger Throttle bodie Or Bills Methanol Kit..

i only have enough for either or as the rest of the cash is going on the internals.

alex. £750 inc valves or plus? surly it aint £750 for just the port? he told me £460 but i guess he loves me more than you

£460 was the price to you if you re-did all of his plumbing to the workshop. The price is £750 just for the port. He still loves me more!

 

[DaNnY_LaD]

Did you send them bits today alex?

also is this what i need size wise for a walbro fuel pump and fittings?

Another Job done..

Replaced all the coolant hardpipe for some silcione flexy hose to allow me to run a bigger tip....

Will post pics up of my tip shortly....

 

[DaNnY_LaD]

Received My AFR Setup with some over bits and bats..

Just got a massive boxs of bits now lol

Also Started Stripping down the other block ive got...as if funds allow il get it bored out to make it a 1.9...Il have to buy then is some correct pistons

 

[DaNnY_LaD]

Been really Busy tonight...

My main goal was to get the silicone Parts Cut and fitted so gives me more time to consentrate on bigger things ...

I firstly Wired up my AFR gauge...Its Still in Learn Mode till i connect the sensor hence the numbers ...

My full 3'' tip with Merlin Sealant Bungs..Its fits Snug at the moment but with the bracket should give me that bit more room..

The Engine Bay so far its abit messy as i ran out of light but its slowly becoming a IHI

The manifold..

 

[DaNnY_LaD]

I sold My old tip mate and made a new one..

Check the BT thread..
