so whats left to do on the engine before she goes in mate??

[knuckles]

i purchased a rebuilt engine a while back from a member of passion ford which had the work done by kent performance. Upon inspection the engine didnt appear to have everything listed on the invoice from kent performance.

So for my own peace of mind i will be taking it to a engineering specialist pretty soon to get it looked at properly before i put my stage 2 head on it.

[knuckles]

out with the old






in with the new - bonnet opens and closes a million times better now.



made some new plates too - they are slightly smaller font and dont have horrid eu banners on





Plate fitted.

[jayrs]

nice one mate

[filtra]

Having it slightly smaller really makes a difference! Looks good!

Looking even foward even more to the engine update!

[HCS PIMP]

[Minstral]

always amazed at what a difference a pair of new plates makes

looks good

[M1K3Y_B]

The little things that make all the difference

Shabby plates really let a car down, its one of those things that really stand out when you fit new ones.

[Ram]

original style plates look

[knuckles]

i love the smell of fresh rubber

i think im spoiling the Rs a bit too much

[jayrs]

just a bit, be treating it to a weekend away soon

[HCS PIMP]

i also love the smell of new tyres makes me miss the 2.0's tyre shreddin power but i happy with the smell of petrol and oil

Made a few more pocket hurting purchases.

1st of all i took the cvh engine down to a local engineering specialist and they dismantled the block and told me the pistons and rings need replacing. So Ive ordered the mahle 0.5 oversize pistons which come complete with pins and rings. They will be arriving Monday via courier.

2nd of all i picked these up today from a friend who's been holding onto them for me until i had the cash




set of beiges and a ofab 195 superchip.
I'm in two minds atm about using them. I use the Rs as a everyday commuting car and would like to know if fitting these two items along with the T3 would make much difference to the normal driving aspect ?

My original plan was to get the rebuilt cvh in, Run it in then fit the chip and injectors.

[~nomad~]

those and a slight boost hike will only improve the drivability of the car imho.

[jayrs]

up to you if you want to fit them, i would advise leaving them out untill the engine is run in then go from there, becuase your need a set up to get fueling all set up after fitting them.

as you know i have the chip and injectors etc and tbh unless booting it all the time, its not much different over standard petrol wise, i only avrage about 190 miles a tank, but bear in mind its a lot of stop start over here and town driving, i got nearly 300 miles out of £35 once when doing motor way driving (tank and a bit) and that did have a sort spell of a bit more than i should of been doing

[knuckles]

[jayrs]

very nice mate

[HCS PIMP]

purdy im gonna have to overbore my engine before july as its got lil blow bye and i want it spot on what CR you going for ???

[GavStyli]

of all people, your the last person id expect to even think about 195 chip and beiges let alone fit them!
leave it as it is, sort out the engine and if anything, fit a 165 chip to run a tad more boost

[knuckles]

what CR you going for ???

they are standard mahle 0.5 oversize

compression ratio stays same

[Excursion]

Avoid the 195 chip like the plague

[knuckles]

Avoid the 195 chip like the plague

do people have problems with them ?

[FRSJON]

you bought a rebuilt engine and you have to fit new pistons and rings...nice find....

[GavStyli]

im sure ive told you my experience with 195 chips? also forget fuel economy

[knuckles]

tell me about it.

im sure ive told you my experience with 195 chips? also forget fuel economy

i know u advice the 165 chip to be the better item. Didnt know u had a 195 chip at one point

[jayrs]

as ive already said to you, ive not had any p[roblems with my 195 chip and the set up, yeah its a superchips and the superchips aint the best but ive had no problems.

but also, as i advised you, for what you use the car for, and what you want from the car the fitting of the beige injectors and chips is not what your want

[Excursion]

The 195 map is attrocious.

As you probably know, the 165 is just a boost limit remover.

[knuckles]

Got the engine back this afternoon. Well chuffed with how quickly he got it bored honed and rebuilt.

Tonight i basically got the stand built back up, and began painting the block ready for the weekend when it gets fitted.






Bores are nice and smooth




First coat of yellow hammerite is on. Tomorrow will do 2nd.
Cant wait to fit the stage 2 head to this badboy and fire it up




New battery tray got its basic white coat today at work. Will be painted again once welded to the car underneath.

[HCS PIMP]

cheeky engine shot i like it

[jayrs]

yellow aint my bag but its different.
glad you didnt go for a dark colour though

tray come up well mate, shame its going to need going over again once fitted, just dont cry when its done, cos i slap you

[RS rob]

some good progress,
love the new plates, i always make new plates for my cars,
makes a massive difference as mentioned above

never knew there was problems with 195 chip's (learn something new everyday)

[Simon84uk]

Man this looks awesome, really have a thing for the white RS's. I not checked this thread in a while I have to admit but looking good
