Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Starting build
Got the camshafts back from balancing but nothing needed doing to them as both in balance as made very well in the USA.
But look what had to be added to the crap HKS pulleys

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Starting build
Very nice work. I absolutely love the focus on getting every single detail perfect, regardless of cost.
Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Starting build
Pistons have been made, and on their way over.
Each one will handle 300 HP
There will be about 4 hours work to do on each one blending and smoothing all the sharp edges and balancing the dish volume

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Starting build
The manifold will be somthing like this. I want to get the turbo down low for the side exit silencer.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Starting build
dam hks pulleys, wot happens wen u need to adjust advance and retard on your camshafts now? will they need rebalancing
Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Starting build
Yes they should be but are never going to be that far out and far better than if the balancing had not been done in the first place

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Starting build
How much do you charge for a rebuild?
Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Starting build
Thats like saying how much for a car.
You need to tell me what you want.
Can you give me as much info as you can please.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Starting build
Too much going on at the moment so this build is taking a bit of time.
Piston pin and rod, strong enough for 300HP in one cylinder all custom made
5S piston top before work starts on it
Piston pin, very strong
Rod
Rod and pin
In tank fuel pump to -10 Goodridge line. Is it going to fit?

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Starting build
New tool to help build the engine
Work started on the pistons, got rid of all the sharp edges now have to get rid of all the shiny parts on the top

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Starting build
Any updates mate???
Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Starting build
taking your time with this!
Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Starting build
Yes. Waiting for the dry sump and front pulley to come from the USA, then it all has to be balanced. Also wiring in the gauges and welding up the sills for the MOT. 6 weekends fitting the roll cage. It all takes time.
You also keep slowing me down so you can beat me as you will have no chance once the engine is in and running
