Ok here is the story!

Some of you know I bought this 3 door Cossie couple of months ago with a A1 Rallyesport engine in the day after took it to APT to get it on the rollers to see what she got.

Engine was
200 block 6 studs
T34 .48 housing
Grey Injectors
RS500 Cooler
A1 Chip on L6 Ecu

Anyway went to do the run goto about 4500rpm and a horrid noise sounded like big end gone.


On APT Rollers




Being Recovered



So when i got back out come the engine




Split the head and found this





Now its just a paperweight on my desk at work.



So i took my engine out of my Saff and put it in the 3door.




Tial Wastegate Fitted with screamer pipe


Air injector fitted and put my EGT Sender in exhaust for my Zietronix kit.



Thats it for now next week the car will be going to I-TUNE for a custom 4" system turbo back

 

Going to be a proper weapon this mate

 

Very nice Stu.

 

Nice 3dr

 

nice car!

 

lovly m8!!

 

Actually I don't like that livery on the car. You can see verywell that it isn't a original RS500 touringcar.

But I really DO like the motor you've just put in. That is going to be a proper machine

 

Whats the spec of the new motor and the trans,suspension you got?

 

Looks like it might be ok 2nd time around

Can I have the T34.48?

 

That,s more like it Stu...............

Not a bad spec that, Will give a nice shove when it comes on boost

 

What sort of power will the engine make ?

Good luck with it

ive fitted ava spec exhaust(euans one)

4in down pipe,to twin 3in

 

mines going from 4" all the way to middle then splitting into 2x 2.5" side exits.

you got pics of yours?

 

yeah will sort them out for you tomorrow

 

lovely looking car stu & that motor should easily do 500 probably nearer 600 with that turbo your engine is similar spec to mine .

 

Awesome.....hope you have better luck with this.

Makes me wonder when people say 'I took the engine out' if it's as easy as it seems.

How long did/does it take?

 

Andy i hope so but im just going to run high 400s to start with to get it run in proper then go for big boost after.

Saphcosmike: take about 6 hours to get engine out and put the other one in and plum most parts in.

 

Stu, you forgot some bits off your spec list

 

Gonna be a animal then Stu

 

better

 

I want a pass ride on track then mate

 

ok the car is with Nathan @ I-Tuned at moment getting custom 4" Exhaust all way through and so far the fabrication is top draw, and his skills are never ending, im gobsmacked by his 600bhp prelude
here is some taster pics
