If Karl couldn't map your car then who would be your second choice? I seen it at Outlon park, first time I got to look all round it. The engine was in one piece then, lol.

Is there a spec of your engine anywhere martin, or do you prefer to keep some aspects a bit quiet? I'm interested to know what changes you made from a std bore/stroke engine, and what the effects of this are? Has it been designed to rev higher or for more torque, or both?
Thanks
Steve

Martin please dont shoot me down for this question or anyone else for this matter
your tall block has a spacer & liners im sure, how do you seal the spacer to the existing block? i know its only oil & water as the liner obviously goes by the join.

The block has been machined all round the edge to accept an O ring seal which keeps the water from escaping, I also applied a sealant between the spacer and block face just in case. All oil feeds were blanked off so that there's no chance of an issue will oil mixing with water or leaking, the head is fead with oil externally. Oil is allowed to drain back in the normal manner but the oil drains have been doweled, again to stop any leakage. The liners run straight through the spacer and block and stand a few microns proud to promote a better seal, the external shape of the liners is quite different to what you would normally find.
The spacer is not just a solid lump of metal, it has it's own waterways . Oil feed to the head.. (turbo and manifold were development parts)
When it was new..

Agreed, I'd be happy to use that setup with as little as 100hp gains but if you wanted to be a bit more serious you can be without having to pull the inlet off again etc..
I can't say I have a issue with the original dp setup but IF there is the room to fit this setup its what I would use, the recent results from the RCM car shows that.
Great pics and info about your engine though Martin, nice to see it still looking so fresh

.....infact - you try driving a 500bhp+ MK2 Escort round a track flat out & see how you fare.....I very much doubt the car would come back in one piece after a single lap......'you spaz'!!!

Very interesting thread Martoon it's nice to see some very clever engineering going on 
, Are the parts of the liners in the additional section of block still immersed in water?
Are you willing to quote a figure to do that to a block or would you rarther not say?
