Rebuilding Engine (info)

[DaNnY_LaD]

any updates on this one Danny.....whats happening now as you are sticking with your hybrid k03s and not going BT

or will you build this, for a strengthened engine anyway and put your k03s on....just in the case of you ever going BT

yeah im still doing it but in my own leisure...Getting all the service items 1st then i can save for the INA rods and pistons...

Once its done i can put it on to the hybrid....just need her to sort a car out...then its game on..

Which this soddy recession would end tho...pissing me off lol

Have you found anywhere that does a valve spring compressor that fits the 1.8t head, seem to remember it's an od size?

 

[DaNnY_LaD]

Righto...

As more and more parts are arriving..

How much would labour be to fit the following

Full Bottom end seals
Big End Bearings
Rods with pistons
Head gasket
Timing and Alternator Belt With usal Tensioner ect...
New Piston rings

And maybe for the cylinder head

New valves
New Full seals
New Springs?

As id be supplying all the parts everything needed for the job just need someone to fit...What price would i be looking at?

What happend to doing it all yourself?

I bet your looking a a fair few hours labour for that lot!

 

[Cupra20]

I had my valves, springs, retainers, stem seals and guides fitted for £180 mates rates he said it would normally be double that.

I come to the conslusion David is that il spending around £1300 on bits for the engine and i don't want it going Bang the first time i come on boost...

As id be kinda pissed wouldnt you agree..

Id be looking in to gettin a 2nd hand cylinder head and getting it sent off to be Skimmed & Ported and polished...

Sounds a sensable option to me!

Don't Get me Wrong Benny Id love todo it but if left a bolt Loose or something I dread to think what would happen..

Im more that Experianced about doing the Other side of the mechanical work like Suspension,brakes,Turbos ect anything ''OUT SIDE'' of a engine or around it....

 

[DaNnY_LaD]

Righto

Seems i need to source a place than can fit my rods before it gets mapped...

I take it you mean you need to conrods fitting? thought you were doing it yourself?

 

[DaNnY_LaD]

Yeah ..

Is the AUM Bottom end the same as the AQX bar the rods and pistons?

As im thinking to get the AUM sent off to be bored out to a 1.9 then il fit my Rods to that and buy some pistons with a 20mm pins ect....

is it actually worth it for the turbo/power you will be using?

I thought the turbo was good for around 330bhp....which a standard 1.8T will run fine, so would be there be any point in doing it i.e. translating it into the "on the road" difference between standard and 1.9 bore

Its helps the spools due to the large displacement..

Ever little helps

Yup sure is mate..

I might be doing mine now as im more confident on what im doing...Put il get a mate to fit the timing belt as its gotta be done right..

 

[DaNnY_LaD]

I thought i might aswell update my thread as i desided to do it my Self along with the Help of Ibiza alex and Cupramvr....

Anyway pics of how ive got on and were im up too..:

Now that My Big turbo conversion was all Done and running and producing good power for me...I was Next moving on to the bodywork But sadly a few days ago my water Pump Gave way...

So ive had to Put the Money else were in to the engine...I desided to Do a Full rebuild well as near as dam it..
What ever i could replace with the engine in situ from gasket to bearings ect..

So it sat for a few day while i pondered on what todo so i desided along with a few mates to pull it all apart and get it done..As it wouldn't get done by its self...

So i started by removing the Inlet manifold And Rocker cover then Drained all the coolant out which i had in it...
Then i got cracking on with the manifold on the IHI amazinly i don't have to take the turbo off or even downpipe so that makes faffing about alot less...

I know this might sound sad to people but as me doing this with mates i desided to box and lable everthing that i had taken off...Bit of organizing tbh:

Pics:

How it looked after the BT conversion that i had done:

Then:

I then Desided while it was in bits this would be my only and easiest chance to Smarten and Paint a few things..So i started with the Alternator to freshen up..Also painted brackets and Alt Tensioner to clean them up atleast:

my pots of which i have many off:

And current parts in order of which i took them off:

So while its in bits i desided to uprate my rods as running 1.5bar at the limiter is in rod bending terrioty.As you can see a massive difference between the OEM rod and my Scat ones:

I didn't get much done today due to it raining but tomorrow i want to get the :

* Oil Drained
* Remove Oil Sump
* Remove water Pump
* Remove Timing belt & Tensioner

Then once my Head Bolt Remover has arrived i can remove the 20v Cyclinder head and get it sent off to be full Rebuilt...Due to funds & time im gonna keep the OEM Valves but with New Springs and Guides ect...

While the pistons and Rods are Out im going to De-glaze the Bores with a 180 Grit hone then replace with new rings.Headgaskets,New Shims & gaskets...

Alot more pictures to follow...:

 

[DaNnY_LaD]

Thanks John..

I spent another hour on it tonight after work...So i ended up getting the sump off which was really easy looking at it....

Then by my suprise i got the manifold of ''Without'' removing the Turbo,lines & downpipe and i done it with easy to...

So next for me is to remove the following:

* Remove Alternator Belt
* Remove crank shaft pully & Bi plate
* Remove Timing belt and Tension

Then Remove then Water Pump

Just gotta meet up with john to borrow his Head Bolt Kit then i can get this 20v cyclinder head off and get on with the rebuild...

I got a few pictures as usal...

My Custom 3'' T.i.p which sounds immense:

Under Neath with the crank and rods showing(Covered up with a dust sheet)

Then gave the Bottom Sump a quick Lick of paint but i feel i need to treat my self to a baffle jobbie

Big Thanks to John & Alex for Helping me so far
