low comp allows hi boost

What boost are you going to be running like?

 

[h17och]

mapping dependant obviously but 28psi region

 

[The MoffMeister]

so around the 450bhp mark then

 

[h17och]

im not sure if my head will flow that in its current state. but time will tell what it produces

low comp allows hi boost

9.5:1 is std comp for AYP ibiza

9:1 on 210/225's

 

[h17och]

I must have 8.5:1 then. Been a while since I ordered them

 

[cupra_matt]

Me liking very much. Keep it up.

 

[h17och]

its going to look like a new engine well.... i guess it is really lol

 

[beattie17]

hooch am i right in saying if you got a crank from a new beetle 2.0 short block motor, it will change yours from 1.9 to 2.0l?or would you need different rods aswell?

 

[h17och]

couldnt comment if the crank would fit, but i think the rods will be ok if the crank fits, its just the pistons.

when i was looking at 2.0l i would have to run normal 1.8t rods but differnt pistons and eurospec crank

 

[rashcupra]

[h17och]

Even doing mine myself has cost a fortune, I'm still waiting for a company to get it faced, them off to ceramic coating.

hi hooch hope you dont mind me asking a q? my dp is coming loose and was wondring what is best to use, it has a bolt that screws into thhe turbo housing that you screw in with an allen key then put a bolt on over it but these come loose so is anyone any ideas?

cheers

 

[h17och]

locking wire works well

 

[The MoffMeister]

ok never heard of it will i get that at diy stores?

 

[h17och]

more progress.

during the week i had my alternator seperated and i painted it!

it always drove me mad as it never looked nice hence why i painted it

new bumper as im having it re-done as i wasnt happy with it before

got the engine back in also and started to mount the turbo. really struggling to find a good way of mounting it so the welders can make the mani. here is my attempt

im really happy it back in the car now not too long now

HoocH

 

[Ninja]

[beattie17]

Rocker cover and alternator look good, you tried a coil pack yet?

 

[Martin M]

Engine looks stunning! What's involved with stripping the alternator as i hate how mine looks?
