Despite the devastation to the Block the crank is fine with no damage.
One end bearing had started to spin the others were Ok. The block was held together by the crank bearing bolts.
Now have to decide on new or used 200 block, any ideas & the engine will be re-built with a couple of small mods that Mark wants to try as a development idea. Slightly different new pistons will be fitted.















Rod

 

Great new's that your not giving up Rod mate.

Here's hoping for a 210 plus run.

 

well the blocks truely shafted ebay that

 

glad your rebuilding and not giving up good luck

 

bigger and better Rod.

Begsy passenger ride when its back

 

Good Luck Rod

 

very luck the crank wasnt damaged by the look of it!

 

Fook that looks bad! For my untrained eye i would have thought it would have taken everything.

Rod you want to ebay your block saying its out of the worlds fastest Cosworth and you might get some £ back for it

 

Thats looks well and truely battered!

Glad your not giving up, Hope all goes well in the future

 

Thats not a bad idea!

Glad to hear the development is continuing, best of luck Rod!

 

Lucky that it never shafted the crank

Glad to hear you are rebuilding it mate

 

Youll be back bigger and better m8.

 

Fookin Spiders... nice work

 

kin 'ell one destroyed block

 

glad u aint give up rod

cheers jay

 

what about a millington block?



are these stronger/ better?



(i know nothing about them, jut that they are made with better water ways)


not sure if they are sutable for your use

 

Not designed for turbo use...

 

did mr hadland have one? old engine

 

Glad you are going to rebuild it

Very lucky with the crank

Steve.

 

As said in other thread. Millington blocks are only rated to 400bhp and they have a habit of cracking under na power so putting 900bhp + through one isnt going to be advisable.

Looks like it could have been a lot worse than a new block Rod and Im glad your continuing the development I wish you the best of luck for the future.

 

thats one borken block

 

Maby next time a good idea to convert it dry sump.
A good starting point will be us zetec or svt engine block.
But if it has to be a ford cosworh engine you don't have to much choice maby a zetec cosworth wrc block will be ok if you can find one.
Or true frankenstein engine will be cool like a mitsubishi 4g63 or nissan sr20det or a toyota 3s-gte but that will piss of some people.

 

glad you are sticking with it Rod.

 

You fooked that rod...Good luck with the rebuild,JUST DO IT!!!!!!!!.............

 

bit of a mess that is!

sure mark will make stronger for the next time Rod!!

 

Would Any of them take 20k miles of hard abuse like rods?
doubt they would take any more.


fair play rod and mark, thats one broken block!
but good that you are going for it again!

 

That is some break, good luck with everthing Rod

 

Good luck with the re-build Rod, i am glad to see that you are carrying on,


Mike

 

Fooking hell Rodney thats torn it If i can be be of any help to you Mark give me a shout as you know i was formally IMA Racing the best tuner bar none and built regular 1000bhp YB's

 

Glad to hear you're not giving up.

Stick the fooked block on ebay stating it was first ever cosworth to do 200 etc might bring in some money for you.

 

...and get those injectors sent

 

Mark said someone wanted my 1000cc injectors, now ive found out who, the deals off .
Going to use 1200cc as Mark saw 100% duty cycle on that run trying to supply 900 horses with hay.
Anyone want an AUTRONICS SM2 ECU as Marks kicked that off the team as well. .
Rod

 

Why you not using SM2 Rod? and what u going for instead?

 

The new SM4 I expect Rhys

 

SM4 Mark wants more control of the Nitrous. can set a 199 'shot' instead of a '200' that caused all this aggro.

 

you might be able to weld the bits back on the block

 

Rod maybe you can give me that ECU cheap to get me fully MAD

 

Apparently IMA Racing specialise in this, have sent for a price.

 

£800 & its yours, control those 1000cc injectors better than what youve got.
