Some of you may know I am building a Cozzy/Pinto hybrid engine

200 block
Cozzy crank
Cozzy rods
94mm Accralite pistons
Stage 3 Cylinder Head Developments head
RL31 cam
twin 45's

Well engine is all together and back in the engine bay

Just a couple of pics to let you see how I am getting on !

 

looks very nice bro

Have you any more pics ??

 

Glad U like


Heres engine new home !

 

very nice

Liking the smaller clutch

actually it all looks fooking good

 

I'm lovin it!

 

Quality project..

What sort of power are you hoping for?

 

Heres the clutch prior to fitting

 

I started off aiming for a very strong bottom end and anything over 160 bhp @ wheels will do me fine !

 

Interesting one mate

Best o luck with it

 

Thats one light flywheel

Steve.

 

Sure is

 

looking good , what clutch parts have you used and which flywheel you got? they available off the shelf for a cossie crank?

 

I like that alot!!

 

Beautifull job mate, love it

 

What exhaust manifold are you using ?

When i had a very good pinto years ago i changed my 4-2-1 manifold for a Grp A version and picked up about 10bhp extra

Well worth doing

And that flywheel is

Steve.

 

Ashley 2 1/4 3 piece manifold - going to be mated to an Ashley 2 1/4 twin box system

 

Sorry Stu - No ECU's or MAP sensors etc to be found ! - lol lol lol

The only BAR I run is in my tyres

Steel Ultra light flywheel

7 1/2" AP Racing twin paddle clutch

 

Final Power Run Update - Today 13/06/2007



I have now done apprx 400 miles running it in and today I had the car rolling roaded @ Hi-Tech in Cradley Heath West Mids

Engine was revved to 8000rpm

Produced 184 bhp @ 7095 rpm at the wheels

Engine sounded sweet and no nasty sounds at all

A smooth torque curve starting at 1750rpm maxing out at 145 llb/ft torque @ 5500 rpm holding till 6800rpm then dropping off

Drives spot on now and ready for some fun

It may not have silly BHP as per turbo power but am sure I will have just about enough to do at least 50 mph now

 

184 @ the wheels !

Was just about to say I had 160hp @ wheels pinto and it was mega but yours must be awesome

Cracking work though, looks fantastic, black is by far the best colour on a mk2

 

well done m8, my 100E motor is a similar spec with a cossie bottom end and made similar power it goes very well on the road.

steve

 

love it

 

AP Twin plate racing clutch - Now with hydraulic clutch operation !

Tran-X 4 Speed SCCR Gearbox

3.89 ratio Tran-X Plater diff set to 65/70 lb/ft

6 x 13 group 1 RS 4 spoke alloys

185/60 x 13 Toyo Proxes R888

Yes I agree it certainly goes well on the road

 

yo dave


looks well cool fair play to you mate

should go very well mate

marco

 

A Fabulous result mate, a real credit to you.

 

well done mate good work

 

Nice to see you boyz appreciate a bit of The Old Skool cool - lol lol

I am on track at Croft Derby/Durham Weekender in September

On the Saturday I am giving charity rides in aid of the Richard Burns Foundation - so get your money out

Am also on track for the Sunday as well

Note to self :- Ensure 2 spare sets of tyres and brake pads are in stock

 

yo dave

i am old skool

 

Must fly

 

Dont be so hard on yourself Marco

You look old due to all the sun bathing you do when you supposed to be working

 

Good numbers there Dave

What CR is it running.

See you on track at Croft

 

CR = 11.5

Yep see U at Croft

Now heres one for you "New Skool" boyz

If I fancy a little snort every now and again what NOS would you lot reccomend ?

Would it make a significant difference or simply fry the engine ?

 

Very nice good result

Must be fun to drive

 

Well it certainly brings a smile to my face when tootling around country lanes and on track at Trackdays

Cant wait to stretch its legs with it new found power

Here is car whilst "running in" engine on a test day at Curborough

 

Excellent did you have a fly figure???

And only running 45's there must be some room for improvement

Looks a very nice car( wish i'd bought one when i had a chance )

 

looking good dave

 

That looks the bollocks with decent power!

I hate the anodised trumpets though, Look to tacky for such a nice car imo!

 

I get 4 more BHP using blue anodising

When I tried red I only got 2 BHP

Plus the blue colour matches the rest of the Black and Blue colour scheme

 

Silver you gain 10hp

 

The problem that you have there on normal pump fuel is that you are running fairly high compression for the sort of shite at the pumps these days.

So in order to run much nitrous you are going to need to retard the timing a fair bit to avoid PCP's getting so high they lead to detonation.

Its a fairly specialist application so I dont want to wrongly guess at figures for you, but im sure with some ignition retard you can probably put 100bhp of gas in progressively without a problem.

I wouldnt recomend holding it flat out for long periods though as the extra ignition retard and the nitrous will increase your EGT's, so sustained use could easily see you melting something sadly!


Obviously though on race fuel you could probably put 200bhp+ into it and have no worries, especially given the bottom end strength you have!
