mk5 rs2000 ecu



xr3i engine ready to be pulled out



engine out



rst lsd box painted up



rst lsd box, rst clutch, zetec flywheel bolted together



power steering, aircon pump, tensioning pully removed, and i also used xr3i alternator as rs2k one was dud, just swapped pullys around



bought this from local mator factors for 12 quid WRONG SIZE lol



this is the CORRECT size you need if u go down my route



also use the xr3i alternator arm



not happy with this but it works 10mm plate sat on rear of block for engine mount



engine mount modded



engine mount strengthend



again strengthend

(i will get this done by an engineer properly)



engine ready to be dropped in, i left only rear gearbox mount bolted on or else it wont go in



alt had to be removed to get it in too



engine in and mounts ready to be bolted on including gear linkage n other bits



engine sits forward on left side 11mm (must be plate)



blanked off egr and dragged mani up before bolting starter on!!!



i had probs with xr3i rad as alternator was rubbing on pipe, so i used rst rad as it can be pulled over to the right



welded exhaust, plumbed and wired it( a slight fault on wiring if any body can help) engine carries on running without key in until i remove fuse from permanant feed to my x2 yellow relay setup????? but ticks over lovely



bonnet shuts but is tight so gonna have to put crappy bonnet risers on n just tidy bits up, plus get a propper mount!

jobs a good'n
