neil has some new toys

Decided to keep with the pinto for now, as i was impressed with the performance/handling aspects of NOT having a fuck off cast iron v6 up front...

so... here are my new toys











twin 40's with carb linkage, filters and trumpets!!
and it looks like im gonna win a FR32 cam aswel (high lift power band 2500-7000rpm)
thats to go together with the 4 branch, now all i need is a ported/big valve head.... if im not happy with the increases from these addons

AND manifold

time to fit the new cam





head comes off....





engine gets a nice coat of oil and gets left--- oooo 4 cup holders!!



reference photos taken of timing... useful for re-fitting.
just waiting for gaskets to come now, full set of inlet exhaust head water pump etc gaskets
a good clean up of the bottom and head,
should be runnin well after its been tuned
MAYBE out by sunday, but thatll be on my own tuning talent (haha) so none there then..

enjoy


hmm...

lookin good now tho

might come up colton tonight if my garage dude gets it runniing propper





new water pump







old water pump off, and changed viscous fan for an electric fan, and switched it on a relay well proud of my wiring!
the fan is from a pugeot... hmm not sure which one tho but it shoves some nice air through the rad so thats good!

aaand.... my new toy came!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!






and its BLUE!! haha

gay gay gay gay gay------ after breaking the base on my old 40's i got fucked off n spent a lot of money and bought.....
some twin 45 dellortos haha "apparently" jetted to a 2.0
anyway it turns out my old 40's had closer jets for a 2.0 on 45's than the ones in the 45's so i swapped the jets round and its going in for tuning on monday whoop finally!!!




and they are running... well... shit still, still underfuelling like a bitch in cylinders 2 and 3. and not fuelling enough to cause any real power in cylinders 1 and 4..... soooo its goin in for tuning and i cba with it. i just want my car back

vid with 45's .... sorry for the lack of revving noise etc, the sound of the 45's just killed the mic in the camera lol



oh yea, and ive sold my old carb, took it off the manifold and actually looked how small the inlets were.... my god the engine was sucking through a bleedin straw on those carbs!!! compared to the 45's 1 per inlet they must have been like straws lol!



and for bork... hids




on bmw projector headlights which iirc are acutally E-approved for HID use... wooo
all coming together now...

and the problem was........





a very good condition cylinder



the headgasket, gone between 2 and 3 easy easy!

left a little scorchmark between the cylinders



although its scorched the head so ive gotta clean that up and clean the head up with emery paper before it goes back on, then i MIGHT have it back by the weekend!!
