Time to revive this build, as I have pretty much started from scratch twice over *happy* The car has been off the road since December 2009 after I melted a piston *happy*

+0.020" bore 1275 block, Forged Acralite pistons, toughened crank, BMW K100 16v cylinder head, Garrett GT1752. 200hp not impossible with these components ;D but is being built as a road engine with emissions, idle characteristic economy and drivebility in mind, so in the main I'm looking at arround 150hp at 8psi and around 180hp at 15 psi.

The car currently

Naked




Fresh paint




and the engine sat on the garage floor waiting to go in ;D

pics missing for me too :( want to see this after seeing the engine is part build and the time and effort that Colin is taking must be good

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

Looking very nice as always, Colin. Is this the shell that you had not long sprayed when the last engine went pop?

It is amazing how little work you do on the car when its not at your house!! I'll just be glad when its home!! in the garage, so I can at least start work on it in all weathers. Heated garage and all that *tongue*

Also, that boost gauge has won two trophies at Avon, hopefully it will help bring some more silver home
