[Excursion]

I feel your pain. FRST's are a real pain in the ass!

[crazycage]

why was the nos not set up right ?? did you have the wrong jets in it ?? was your car set up right ?
sorry for all the questions as you no i have it on my fezz just not used it yet

[Xr_Dub]

we all told u it was gonna happen lol, rebuild stronger and better may the boost and nos be with you .....

[GavStyli]

why was the nos not set up right ?? did you have the wrong jets in it ?? was your car set up right ?
sorry for all the questions as you no i have it on my fezz just not used it yet

jets were perfect, maybe too perfect fueling was fine, no det
just that the nos did not come in progressively enough it seems, my own fault 50% to 100% in 1.5 seconds in forth gear was maybe not progressive enough with the 50shot or maybe the engine died because i was running well over 250bhp which is the std rods limit.
I think its was the progressive issue as the rod gave up in 4th gear litterally as soon as i floored it.
all this aint gona matter anymore as im going steel rods now

[285Andy]

bit of chemical metal and some new rod bolts and that'll be fine mate

but sh*t yeah, thats buggered

[andymcd]

we need an update

[GavStyli]

hi andy

nothing but problem after problem after problem, more expense more expense more expense!
biggest problem of all tho was sourceing the pistons and steel rods and anyhow the guy doing all the machining and fitting the pistons etc has gone holiday till late january. Matt @ M-tech automotive is now helping me out in supplying the engine parts i need etc Knuckles has helped alot and done alot of running around as i dont get any spare time at all monday to friday expecially
wish i just bought christians(apt) bottom end, would have saved ALOT of agro he sold it the day before i contacted him.
so update is, engine looks like this and pic of one of the 2 bent valves will hopefully have something more positive to post next week

[andymcd]

gav o.k.c do steel rods an pistons cheap?
are u going bufy now?

[andymcd]

would u go zvh? i no some one selling an engine big spec

[knuckles]

he better not go Zvh after all the cvh bits ive had to ferry about for him !

Get them pistons & Rods gav , sort out the crank , get some new bearings and lets get it back together

[GavStyli]

defo no zvh for me! id like to stick to my cvh as its more straight forward and will easily get the power i want anyway

[rsonblackwheels]

that valve

looking forward to the up-date

CVH rulz

[Excursion]

Hello officer, can I have a go on your daughter?

[knuckles]

im not looking forward to removing that ruined engine tommorro morning.

£10 says the crank is bent

[knuckles]

need i say anymore

Got up at 8 this morning to remove this block. Was quite funny removing the block until me and gav realised the rod had smashed through and made a hole into the back of the Alternator !!!

Gav has some even more shocking pictures to follow

Clark

[jonboisescort]

a bit of chemical metal and it will be brand new

[jayrs]

jesus now thats a keeper LOL

cant wait to see the rest of the pics

[GavStyli]

[jonboisescort]

if your going to break it

doing big style

[knuckles]

We had to proper Smack that piston out of the bore.

crank is ruined as i thought, the Alternator was another casualty of the wandering rod.

[jayrs]

thats some nasty $hit, ive seen a block where a rod came through before but not to this extent

give you one thing gav, when you do something, you do it proper

[knuckles]

some how me thinks they wont take the alternator as a exchange unit

That Rod is proper bent. The sump was full of pieces of the broken piston. Couldnt find any pieces of the bearing shells for that rod

[GavStyli]

well was an interesting day wasnt it mr clark aka dave

hopefully this doesnt happen again because i seriously cant be bothered, i just want to drive the damn car

yes i done it properly jay lol but it was a bit scarey the moment it happened down the a10

[knuckles]

it certainly was interesting day. My fingers are still aching

Is that all the pics gav ?

[jayrs]

yeah i bet it was mate
