If its no good hopefully ash will have one of his lightweight kits available soon. Just all trail and error for the time being till we get it right. Doesnt look like im going to hear anything from work about moving away for a while so may as well finish what I have started to see what happens and figures I end up with.
Sick of people banging on about this being pointless and was only done on the BTCC cars because of regulations but its all down to what I want at the end of the day and having something different to anyone else. Yes I am aiming for the same power as some people are making on jenveys but dont see why I cant make them figures with what I have. Just look forward to proving all them people wrong

Where did the road go!

So an update on whats been happening yesterday. Coming home from work the car cut out at a junction and wouldnt start so had the ditch the car and go get a battery as the battery had died for some reason! Car started back up on my spare battery. Went home and picked up my old block just in case it was needed and headed down to Jims 2 hours later than I wanted to.



Started around 11am, engine was out by 12 and made a start stripping everything off the engine, inlet, AUX setup, exhaust mani, box, fly & clutch.
Then came time to pull the head off. Took the head off to find oil in one of the cylinders and slight movement on one of the pistons too.






Stripped the bottom end to see what the actual problem was to find 2 big ends had score marks and one of the pistons was broke. There was my problem to the cylinder down on compression. Also found the bit of cam that had been broken off before I bought the engine sitting in the sump!




Good job I picked up my spare bottom end. Jim cleaned the surface of of the block and pistons and the surface of the head ready to go back together. New gasket and head bolts went on along with a new water pump then fitted the new exhaust cam. Cams are setup on standard timing just to get the car back up and running. Will set cam timing up later on when I come to fit inlet ect...






So end of the day yesterday the engine is back in wired up ect... just shafts, exhaust and front end to go back on really. May give the VLR a trail fit if I can be bothered today

That's one hell of an inlet! Is it fitted and running with it? Just as the photo below had standard inlet back on

Not sure whats wrong now but I was getting a bit of a misfire but sorted itself out then today I gave it some off a slip road onto the dual carriageway and all of a sudden lost a cylinder. Pulled over and turned the car off for a few seconds and restarted it and was still running on 3. Not long been home now got my tools out and pulled the coilpack cover off to get at the plugs. Started the car and now its fine again! Tried unplugging each coil separately and all coilpacks seem to be working fine, same with injectors. Would a diagnostics bring up the fault?

I do t know anything about the map except from it was mapped for pt81s and has a 7500rpm limit. It does run better on V Power but then again I notice a difference in the girlfriends 206 gti on v power too

Im onto engine number 3 now so hopefully this will last. I have a spare engine coming in next week so may be worth holding onto for a few weeks till I get omex, inlet and injectors fitted just in case it does go bang
