I've started looking into this mod and I've started working out wot fittings I will need as I run a 2wd head . so I will still need to send a oil feed from somewhere to the turbo . I'm going to open up the 1/4 NPT up to 3/8 NPT witch will have a AN-10 size fitting coming back from the oil cooler set up

happy xmas mate good luck with the new motor mines at pj motor sport but on hold till me mortgage is sorted .house eating all me money
Just a small update of some of the parts that have turned up so far I've got pocketed pistons coming from brandshatch but as it's Xmas it's taking some time in them getting here .
totally agree with that comment, even on a 200 block youre gonna need liners for it to even stand a chance
Cheers Paul
Hi mate are you talking from experience ??
my 200 block dose have a liner down number 3 now as it had some damage in it so I had a linner put in it . Iv never been told that 200 blocks need linners in them for 500Bhp . Please give me more info if you have it
What oil pump are you using? Looks like a standard pinto pump but presumably youre gonna swap the lid for a cossie one? Be careful as I bought a pinto pump and fitted my freshly skimmed cossie lid, fitted the sump ect and when I fired my engine up I was only getting 40 psi oil pressure so had to strip it back down again and get a pump suitable for a yb

Mine was fine with a 200 at 500bhp till I chucked a rod lol but as a road car track cars do take more shit. Sleeves and proper liners are two very different things. A sleeve will repair and damaged bore. A proper liner will add strength to the block

Exactly most sleeves are grey iron which isnt that strong where as liners will be ductile iron or steel

The oil pump is from Burton power and it's a WRC spec pump as I've had the block modded to oil jets so no need for the spray Barr now
I had 10 min to my self today so I had a look at drilling and taping the block up to 3/8 NPT
Before starting standard size 1/2 way down the hole with the drill Drilled all the way to the bottom of the hole ready for the 3/8 NPT tap Tapped out and threads cleaned out 3/8 NPT to AN-10 fitting tryed in and all good And the set up I will be running when the motor gose together . Up to now I'm very happy the way it's going
Yes mate 100% the same setup even the WRC brether set up . Any thing that will help the motor last longer and a reliable 500bhp that's all I won't from it
Wot we was talking about is this Toby this is a photo of your new motor . I have seen them like this before but I don't no if it's just a bolt on kit . Or it's how the block was made

most 200 blocks will be fine at 500 hp on the original bore but even though its the stronger block they are still nearly 30 years old now and your gonna double and half again its original power output.
The metal fatigues with time and they they are just getting too old now.
Sure it could be fine but if rebuilding it all and for the cost Id liner it, is it worth the risk just for it to split a bore....

Didn’t realise it was my engine as it has been painted since. Yes, I can see now that mine was done like that. It feeds to an ally pipe with all the pressure sensors etc on it. I cannot remember much as it has been so long.
I guess It’s only an old pinto so it cannot be too hard or complicated. I haven’t rebuilt that part of an engine before but if I had to I think something like a pinto would be the place to start....keep it all in order in a super clean environment and follow the torque instructions....
I’ve built a fair few engines at work if you took it apart and have all the torque data there pretty simple. We deal with new stuff at work if a component goes it’s replaced with new.
I think reconditioning is where things get difficult. When you have to measure parts and get them machined or decide for yourself if things are in or out of tolerance and ok to use again. That’s when engine building becomes more involved. I seen a fair few mates now rebuild there old engines only for them to last a couple of years before something goes wrong. Tolerances are very important especially if your going for power

Your right toby but the only difference is that pinto and cosworth have a different tolorenc on the shells .to witch I found out some years back on my 3dr cosworth when Matt Lewis sold me pinto shells for a standard cosworth crank let just say it did not last long .

oops, that is not good.
with the cost of Cossie bits it is a big risk if something is not right, thats why I am sending my engine to Mark Shead for a quick check over and a few bits.
yours looks like you will be building up soon? What colour will you paint the block?
My New TT Engine will hopefully be finished this week.
I'm not 100% shower wot colour to do it I've . I've been doing them silver as of late as when you get a oil leak like they all do you can see ware it's coming from
Just a small update today I got all the block cleaned up and all the oil ways fully flushed throw and all degreesed . And I've decided to go for silver again as if I do get a oil leak I can see ware it's coming from .
Well the build has started at last as I got the crank back from being reground .25 on mains and Big ends Plastic gauge strips in place Oil spray jets in place and set up the crank hits them so a bit of tweaking was needed First piston in place . And you can just see two oil ways block off
Small update this week my new turbo turned up a Borg Warner efr 7064 I'm well happy with it .
I am planning on using the standard manifold but when mocking it up it's looking like I will need to use a 48mm manifold spacer . has any one else fitted this turbo to a standard manifold if so please share any info you have please
They need the twin scroll manifold to get the best results. I am not sure if anyone has run one without but there was talk of adapting a 2wd standard manifold as they are twin scroll I believe.
