ok i think thats all iv got ....now will i need gearbox oil ...if so how much..what about gearbox gaskets ?????????..ummmm cant think arrrh.....if you can think of any thing iv missed please tell me..i want it to go as smooth as possible....thanks guys

 

info on your new bottom end could help, has it got a sump, water pump, oil pump etc on?

 

good time to change timing belt and tensioner btw

 

as for the gearbox it can remain in the car untouched

 

it has a s1 water pump on it..so got change the for the one on my engine,,,all the sumps intact on there....wheres the oil pump?

 

oh yer got a genuine ford cam belt....u think i should change the tensioner awell?

 

id personally change the tensioner too, from what i remember the oil pump is below the water pump? (been a while since ive touched one)

 

well theres nothing missing on the block.apart from the engine monts...well looks like engine mount...cool tenshioner is 25 or sumit from burton..ill do that...just to be sure

 

what you doing with the 1.9 bottom end
matt c

 

puting it in ...then im guna give all the gimps round bournemouth..in there corsa's saxo'x a pasting..and hopefully give the evo's a run for there money lol..my m8 has a sick skyline so go round a wip every one lol well try

 

are u in need of a bottom end

 

good to here your keeping the 1.9 as in my opinion they are the best mod forget the 2.1 zvh and all that (although im running one lol)

 

do you no how much power the average 1.9 turbo makes on the rollers...i hope more than 200bhp without being unsafe..if not im going to be disapointed..but its not going to be a crazy build..just average..im lookin for 250bhp with torque to match

 

when i had mine i ran 230bhp @10psi and the compression was down 2bar in the one cylinder (bought it like it. i didn't know what the problem was till i stripped it down. melted piston). i was running a stage 3 head, cam ect. but i would get a fifth injector if to want to run more, it will be capable of 250 quite easy with intercooler and stuff. i have a fifth injector controller lying about somewhere ill check it still works if your interested.

 

dan i'll spank you in me focus :P lol

give a shout if u want a hand matey

 

joker ....lol

 

no mention of an engine crane anywhere??

 

nope still havent found one....i dont want to rent one from a company ...would prefer to buy one...went and had a look about today but couldnt find one....maybe im lookin in the wrong places

 

Machine mart, you will get a perfectly good crane for £150, maybe even a collapseable one if my memory serves me correctly.
