Well, after being fooked around on several parts etc etc, it has finally come together.....these are the final pics taken before the engine will be fitted to the car (very shortly!) At fookin last eh, Im pleased to say all the delays in parts being supplied have been worth it.

Unfortunatly the only thing missing that i'd have liked to have fitted right away is the bigger cossie turbo I have on a tubular manifold, unfortunatly the manifold hasnt turned up yet, so will have to wait a while, as I cant wait any longer








For the eagle eyed amongst you, youll notice the exhaust manifold/turbo etc hasnt been bolted down, this is because its going to have to be removed to fit the engine, so no point in wasting a gaskset for a photo

Cheers, Phil.

 

What car is it going in mate?
And what about management?

 

looks good m8

 

 

looks mint mate
i want one for mine

 

nice one Phill , where u get the manifold adapter plate ?? just makin one for a mate but yours looks just the job .

get the foooooooker in , get it running and lets go for a drive ,

Just clocked up 2000 mile in mine , shes all mapped now and redy for the track on national day .

 

looks good phil

like the rover inlet, going to do something similar on mine.

 

Cheers lads

Lee, I CAD designed the plate myself mate, had it laser cut, and a local engineering place dealt with the tapping so it can be fitted to the manifold. Will take some more pics of the plate tommorow if you like mate.

You still have them original pistons mate? May relieve you of them, saves you being stuck with them....let us know

Management is already in the car and is SECS S8.

 

LOL@turbo

Sooo needs a biggun

Looks spot on apart from the baby turbo

 

wicked mate. have fun

 

Yeah phill i got the pistons still , new set of rings on them to , spoke to Ian Howels , he said they can take up to a 60tho skim which was an option for me at one point ,

As you know i just bought a new set , .

 

 

Looking good, and i love the inlet.

Phil are you able to supply the conversion plate for the exhaust manifold??
How many ŁŁ's??

Matt.

 

Hi mate, cheers, yes, can supply the exhaust manifold plate, they are Ł80

 

looks spot on chap!
And know i know what you mean about rover 820 inlets being a pain in the arse to find lol!

 

Find? thats just the start of the hassle mate!! T16 ones everywhere, but ive only ever come accross 2 M16 ones, and one is on my engine .

Then theres the cutting and fabrication for the throttle body, the ACT sensor mounting issue, the what to do about ISCV issue, the issue with the fuel rail fittings being dodgy sizes, the issues with the Weber FPR not fitting on the rail.....the how to get it actually onto the head

WHat a fucking nightmare!!! Well worth it in the end though, but dont fancy doing it again in a hurry!

 

lol- i've been offered 3 fuel rails/ bottom half's, but no actual plenums as of yet lol! - and there was one on ebay that i missed that went for 16 quid

oh well, all good fun!

 

Engines in....pics to follow shortly

 

Bugger, nearly time to dig out the laptop for a spot of live mapping up the M4 motorway
