Lcr rebuild no 2 :)

What kind of torque was your engine producing with those mods?

Connecting rods in BAM engine should be quite fool proof up to 300lb/ft.

These incidents makes me thinking limiting the torque of my Ibiza MK4 Cupra, which has even weaker rods than the ones used in BAM engine

had a few rr printouts with the 300 lb/ft mark, im uprating engine so this dont happen again

#2 cyl? cant quite make out the pictures..

life goes on i guess, got company up here building engine, thinking of water meth when get engine an car back together and maybe nos lol i want to break the 350 mark with my hybrid and water meth an nos, dont want big turbo as get good mpg on a run an do about 380 miles a week

going to be a rise of the pheonix

got company up here building engine,

Which one?

 

[paul-murphys]

Which one?

aliston engineering not sure if spelt right , you heard of it?

Paul, the high flow manifold replacements ae due out very soon, maybe worth holding out to refit one of these. Do you have any RR graphs of your torque levels since you uprated the actuator.

have looked into these once see gains may go for one. dont think will have to limit torques as engine having uprated rods put into it, also looking at water meth kits,

is it me or does the "good" rod look slightly bent to you?

 

[RobDon]

Yeah it does! I'm glad I did my rods when I did. Sorry for your misfortune m8, hopefully your new engine will be alot stronger.

 

[Damoegan]

Yep, looks bent to mee to...

Not much left of the piston

 

[wild willy]

are you looking to replace exhaust valves too mate.

 

[paul-murphys]

hi im taking other 2 out today an will see if there bent as well, im changing exhaust valves an inlet an also the springs just waiting for a price on some parts from the us from guy thats building engine, i want a super strong engine lol, going to take time an pay for all bits to be replaced on engine then refit it with new engine mounts metal water pump an maybe a kevlar timing belt, may hold out for the high flow manifold once see the gains,

 

[paul-murphys]

ok had my wheels referbed in pearl black and look good, got better pics on i phone but cant upload them for some reason, here are a few, also treated myself to some shocks an springs, still waiting on engine rebuild as parts coming from usa,

what think of wheels

 

[paul-murphys]

and my new suspension 50 40 drop

 

[cap r 225]

The wheels look ace mate!
I'm intrested to see what they look like on the car though. I myself am still undeceided on dark wheels on dark car's

 

[paul-murphys]

pics not so good as taken on i phone but some pics of wheels on car and also the new suspension,

 

[filbro]

Wheels look really nice. I think your motor would look better if you lost the window tints, break up the black theme a bit??
Good luck with all the rebuild. Once its done you'll have a real weapon
