[cswalmsley]

Great read. And what a machine it will be! Will be subscribing now.

[McGherkin]

Cracking, can't wait to see it all go in

[marinemackay2003]

Small update

due to my rubbish rain cover scratching and scoring the paint

new one from halfords was fitted for me ( on honeymoon )




pistons are not in stock in 83mm so need to wait until 17th at earliest now

things are taking forever atm

[not normal dan]

Looks good man, just read the while thread. Certainly have me inspiration. Looking forward to seeing the outcome of this. Keep it up.

[incy-spider]

Are you going for the k-tec supercharger kit? I really want this, torn between that or the low pressure turbo. Looking forward to seeing more of this!

[andywa]

Some good progress. This will be a weapon once finished.

[ianpettifer]

so whilst waiting i started on boring out and matching my inlets and plasticoating my wheels







l

Any before and after pics of the inlets? want a go at doing this myself as i don't fancy ktecs prices. What exactly is the procedure?

Btw awesome build so far, i started a 106 gti turbo build but sold up due to other commitments. What a mistake!

thanks

[welshname]

Build is coming along nicely.

Met your brother Andy the other day, didn't realise it was until he mentioned the car you'd won, then the blue wheels. Then I clocked on.

Small world.

Hi Chris

i bought the brackets and mounts 2nd hand and bought the charger from k tec

rhys yeah its a small world indeed,did he tell you about his project ?

[marinemackay2003]

Ref the inlets its far easier to let a pro do them tbh

i made loads of measurements / drawings ect and tbh im totaly stabbing in the dark

All i done was measured the shape / size of ports on the head, then replicated it on to inlets through out the whole inlet tract
only comparison pic is the one posted in your reply

its very easy to make it worse though, but as im doing forced induction it should not matter too much

[welshname]

rhys yeah its a small world indeed,did he tell you about his project ?

Yeah he did. I'd seen the beginning of it on zsoc but he's been keeping the engine hush hush on there but he let slip the other day. That will be a barrel of laughs.

[mentalmackay]

it should be rhys, when i get chancve to finish it *bieber flick*


bit of patience chris, you've got all the cash monies now, parts are on their way, and it'll be worth the wait!

[marinemackay2003]

so todays work was to strip the valves out and have a look





few slightly bent ones, faitly hard to see tbh

looks like the head has had a little bit of work too



3 angle valve seats





and a bit of port work




at least the uprated springs look ok to re use

however after phoning sean at k -tec, with regards to the head work ect
he mentioned that they skimmed a fair bit when they put it together and for what i was doing with it, im probably better starting a fresh with my spare ph 1 head

if its any use to someone pm me

now just to wait for the pistons, should be here around the 17th of this month

[mentalmackay]

progress?

[Reed17]

Looks, good i'd be mega pissed about the cambelt snapping though!

[marinemackay2003]

no real progress as cant do much till pistons turn up

ordered them on 30th may, was told no stock until 17th July

thought fair enough at least i can get the wedding and honeymoon in whilst i wait ect

Phoned K-tec today and STILL no news

a little bit pissed off now tbh, may just wrap on cosworth and phone rs tuning and order some of there custom CP pistons

seriously how hard can it be for a massive company like cosworth to make a set of pistons to order

rant over

[Fred@BTM]

just get wossners, next day delivery done, i've heard the cosworth ones rattle anyway

[marinemackay2003]

yeah im thinking along that way at the moment Fred

just fairly pissed off as its majorly holding things up now

[Fred@BTM]

my friends just ran them in their porsche at the lemans 24hr, they finished, so that'll do me!
