Like nige says mate, c'mon..... spill the beans already! Or, at least post a pic while you are out in Germany :ok: |
Update as some know my car had some probs {no fault of the car} This has meant the cars return to JRM. There doing a full engine rebuild to 850bhp spec. I wont run this sort of power its just to make it safe for the power i do run.
Anyway things are looking up as my pistons turned up today. Engine is already stripped. Mike the engine builder has one other to finish then he's on mine. Will update when i know more. :drive: |
Good news Pistons have turned up. Head is now back together. Short week ahead so maybe the week after & it should be back in the whole & ready for running in/up. It made ish bhp + ftlb torque last time with a sick 2.0 litre engine. So should make same ish figures this time around. Clutch will be busy though {foobard}. Boost will be turned way down for Germany. Good job i have breakdown cover abroad. :drive:
|
Even with the boost turned down, its one quick car mate!
|
Nige 570bhp,bloody hell,i bet will be monster:five: :drive:
Good luck in Germany:doubleup: Jura |
Update. My block went away for a re-bore today & should be back on Thursday this week. Head is back together {cars not mine} + a little more safety stuff, all gaskets & bearings are ready. Got a new rad today as mine was damaged. Using a Koyo rad normally for an Evo 6. It moves the top hose further away from the turbo. Under bonnet prep work done + painted my gearbox. :drive:

I knew you'd get a koyo rad before me:wink: |
All sounding good mate.
Are you selling body parts or something. |

Fingers crossed Nige.
I am surprised that people are sitting on their hands a bit there. James gave you his word that it will be done, no questions asked etc. Surely someone else must know the score ( a manager of sorts) , they should be pushing things at a rapid pace really mate. Mate, you know you have a shed load of people on here who will drop everything to help you if required. Banter apart, we all want you down there with us and not in a half cocked way. Don't leave things too late to ask for help if you want any. :ok: Me personally, I'm ****ing useless mechanically, but I make bloody good coffee for those who who are oil infected, spanner wielding, engine monkeys. |
As Steve said, Nige forget the banter, you have to go, Germany without Nige. I dont think so.
You still got a few weeks mate, I guess the sooner its running the better. More time to get a few miles on it, make sure all is good. After going in it at brands, i am dying to see what sort of time you can get around the ring. |
As said above Nige... Anything i can help with let me know
|
Thanks for the offer's of help people. To be honest there is not allot to do at the moment. There machine for doing re-bores & the drill thingy that dose the business has broken. So the engine block has to be done by another company. The block is now with them. Its meant to be back tomorrow.. Next week Thursday/Friday the engine should be ready to put back in the whole.:nod:
|
Is there anything that doesn't break down there when they've got you car?
Hope you get it all sorted |
I'll run it in for you Nige
Run it into the ground that is lol |
