Krzys Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Not sure, looking at either JE or BC pistons and same for rods but haven't decided. No real rush as I can't afford them at the moment anyway! I'm in America at the end of June for a week so IF I can get a day away I'll go shopping Could prove worth while, especially when you think of the saving on shipping!

Grant Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Sweet stuff on order mate !! Eagle rods are also quite reputable .. Your having the block gaurded too ?!?!?! Have to say mate, and in no way am i being rude, but this seems like massive over kill for just an NA? Most charged set ups in the UK dont go to these lengths ...

Grant Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Of course it was the best time mate! Would love to pop up and see it mate before it gets out back together! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engine is with the builder for a few weeks at least so won't be going anywhere soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeLaSoul Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 Another box of goodies has arrived! Gates Timing belt kit, ARP head bolts, ARP flywheel & clutch plate bolts, ARP bottom pulley bolt and Golden Eagle block guard. Funky blue belt! Shame it gets covered up really. Waiting for a few more engine bits to arrive before I start stripping the rest of the block down to clean and install. I hope Mr Postman doesn't take too long! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeLaSoul Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 Short "work" break and managed a small tidy up of the car and made a start on the wiring and dashboard. Wiring is now going back together. After mocking up the dashboard and working out how and where I wanted the wires to go I finally had the chance to start reconnecting the plugs. I stuck this to the garage wall and slowly but surely hooked the wires back up. Still got a few relays and main power to do but it's all coming along.Each plug is labelled and each wiring leg is covered with over-braid to keep it tidy and protect it. I got asked to do the same thing for a friends engine dyno rig so I will get back to the wiring on mine soon. His one was a little more complicated as i had to remove all the aux functions and make the engine harness "stand alone". I'll get some picture next time I'm in his workshop! On to the dashboard, and getting it to fit around the roll cage. Last time I tried this I give up and just cut the dash in half so this time I took a few hours and got it in with a small amount of clearance. Still a git to get in and out but there is a knack to it. Had to cut a lot away in the rear of the dash to clear the cross bar. All the vents and ducting had to go as well as some of the dash structure. All the gaps at the ends will be filled in and covered over when complete And the pile of bits left over is just more weight saving! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Looks a bit more like a car in there now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
