i do agree with you, but with standard parts you are so risking your engine and there will be 1 less RS in Turkey :o

Welcome mate. I'm too from near Lincoln, be having a meet again soon if you wanna come Daz

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project that's not tappy, come listen to my 422's, thats tappy! good work mate, pissed off now, gonna have to try hard to stay in front of you at marham now! lol

It was RR'd at 233/177 but now has 182 manifold, delete sportscat and new 2.5 exhaust, delete pas. was RR'd recently at 211, but air fuel ratio was not good so need it mapped again. There's potentally 240 horses there when it all goes spot on ;)

I'm suprised your engine is still under the bonnet! you risk standard rods breaking at 7.5k and lifters break around 8.2k Unless you are running race spec cams, why rev so high, you won't be making any more power past about 7.5k it's not a vtec honda engine you know

No piston contact as far as i'm aware, been going 18 months now. I kept the vanos because i was advised to by GDI for the idle and emmisions.

i'm running 422's on vanos. Interested in the setting standard pulleys in the same way as adjustable pulleys if you have more info. Suppose i could bring my vanos at 400 rpm so on all the time like deleted ones. I'd say 423's would be too much for standard rods, i'm running forged and high comp...

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project Whiteley is right no spectators, and if you do wanna 'tag' along you need to get your name on the list before it closes tomorrow as it's a raf camp and security checks have to be done. Daz

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project Like your style f0xy

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project i'd have the used one for 150, cos you need to run in the rebuilt engine and marham's only 4 weeks away! lol

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project I thought rods were balanced with the crank and so matched?

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project Me too, Mine! I still have the con rod that turned blue at the big end where the bearing was spinning!

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project Personally i'd get my money back off the ebay seller and buy another engine.

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project oh f0xy that's exactly what happened to mine, spun bearing. rod looks ok, but you may need a new crank! you'll have to get it machined with bigger bearing to suit if the crank is ok. best start ringing round breakers to get a new secondhand crank.

How about you take the rest of the brakes of your 182 to join the pads, lol halfrauds, get yourself some sud extractors :clown:

170 miles to a full tank on track days(17mpg), 270 ish normal spirited driving ( 27mpg)

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project it's gonna be one of them sod's law things, didn't work, take apart, find nowt wrong, put back together and hopefully all better again

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project Least you won't have to grind the valves this time :rolleyes::butt:

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project Might aswell get some forged rods and high comp pistons in there while your at it, Jord?

mmmm the plot thickens :S

I wasn't, i was just stating the springs i have ;) Mine were from the group buy also Inferno

i've got 400 in front and rear. Rears are eibach black in colour and fronts are orange. Haven't driven it in anger yet but backs seem harder than the fronts on speedbumps etc

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project Get your starter tested, next. all of your weight on a bar isn't weak!

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project How much effort did the pulley bolt take to shear off? just wondering if it was weak anyway? could be a problem with the starter if the solenoid engaged but didn't turn the motor, it could have then locked the flywheel??? you have all the fun! lol

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread LOL Chris told me it was finished ;)

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project i personally wouldn't even worry about the snapped bolt, get the engine out, head off and see what's what, before wasting any more time on a knackered engine

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread Is that the noise coming out of the exhaust or out of the downpipe ;)

Anyone sort this, cos i need to know too Thx

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project secondhand from northern Ireland. had no choice with the rebuild cost because of the state of tune of the engine, it would still have cost that much to do the same to another block. live and learn.

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project even so a spun bearing will kill the crank and con rod. end of. £800 for a crank new and rods come in sets for about £400 iirc. I managed to get a crank for £90 and £450 for forged rods and £3000 to rebuild
