My engine rebuild

[Nottswoody]

Bloody frezzing..
Engines in and nearly piped up just water and oil breathers todo.. My back and legs are killing me.
Plan tomorrow all pipes back on water and oil then wait for thundercat to come round and check it and sort some of my wiring loom out as it **** like most are..
All in all not a bad days work..

Tomorrow I will either be very happy or there will be a 5 on fire in the middle of the road

[Nottswoody]

Just my look lol is bloody snowing!!! It's on axel stands outside as I need to swop springs on my konis over then put them in then drop the car and push it back in the garage today.. The snow couldn't wait one more bloody day

we all plough £££'s into these cars but never get any of it back, rather depressing

[GTphil]

When i look back at the money spent I'm always thinking what else i could have done with it, a nice holiday or spent it on the house, then when i get in a drive i forget all of that and smile like a Cheshire Cat

Especially after i built my lump the first time i nailed it with 24lb under my foot priceless!

[Nottswoody]

Guys urgent help if you can.. It's not fireing up we have spark at the plugs but its poping through the carb. Tdc correct dissy timed to tdc.. Got me baffled

[HAndy]

popping is usally timing ,deffo got that right, not 180 degrees out?
plugs fouled?
all 4 ht leads working correctly /disributor sound no cracks moisture ?

tdc pick up dirty/faulty?

im kind of guessing here but first things i would look at, then maybe move on to carb ?

New leads tried two sets new dissy and arm. We've timed it to the blue book.. The spark plugs aren't soacked but we have petrol.. My cam is timed to 112 degress and its bloody freezing

[Nottswoody]

. 180degrees out sounds sweet!!!

[Nottswoody]

Why would tdc be 180 degrees out what have I done wrong lol

[philr5t]

What did you gap the plugs to mate had the same symptoms a few years ago turned out to be the gaps on the plugs can't remember now if they were to tight or to big might be worth double checking just to rule it out

[Tony Walker]

Think hes sorted it... timing 180 out.

[Dave Reed]

Dissy drive will be in the wrong way

[Nottswoody]

Up and running but play stopped as the bloody bleed nipple collapsed on my main water pipe.. Could of been worse nearly there.. Big thanks to thundercat for coming over and helping me out.. Too lad.. Knackerd.com

[Nottswoody]

That's part 1 done ran for 20mins at 2000rpm no oil loss or water dumped the oil thankfully spotless new oil n filter back in her.. Time to kick 500 miles in..

Thanks for everyone's advice/help/bits

I am now a well earned r5 enthusiast lol I have the broken back smashed hands empty wallet and mental strains to prove it..

Thanks again

F3ck that lol

[Andyturbo!]

Awesome mate u done a cracking job, now get some miles on so you can get that t2 off and put a big boy! Turbo on lol

[Nottswoody]

Just bought a gt tuning shiny heat shield off stu because salty blade says it needs one I hate everything gt tuning through principle but it will hide the turbo I guess.. Do they just flap about on one side?

[Nottswoody]

It is a bit of a come down iv always ran 18-20psi I have this t2 wond all the way in to stop temptation.. I think trips to work are going to be boring for a while.

[Andyturbo!]

Just my opinion but I'm sure a piece of metal ain't gona make much diff to the heat around the engine with how hot these cars run lol

[Andyturbo!]

They should have a bracket that bolts to the gearbox and it also mounts to the single hole near the exhaust manifold. Should be double skimmed also if it's a gttuning jobbie.

Personally never had a problem with no heatshield on any of my setup's just keep wires out of the way.

[Nottswoody]

Iv bought that t28 off Marky mark for some pod runs hopefully

Sounds good to me pal u got a similar spec to bluntys then?

[Nottswoody]

I did the gasket to head my self so not as much head work really just refreshed everything not sure what bhp its capable of and I need to see what the fuellings like with the t28 if its much different from my t28 plus with the epcam.. I shouldn't have to alter the carb much more? I don't know bluntys spec really.. I'm just a tinkerer my last engine was 150bhp if I get more now I will be happy as close to 200 then it will be worth it.. All done in my little garage I refuse to pay crazy shop money prices for mods it's cost enough as it is.. As everyone knows.. We will see I'm happy if it just quick and reliable as its my daily..

Never hurt mine not having one for 2 yrs bud

[Andyturbo!]

U should crack 200bhp mate. Have u ever built an engine before?
