If only engines went together as quickly as i can scroll down the page with the mouse wheel.
Those pistons are equally as sexual as the crank. Bonkers spec!
Stunning. That is all. :cool: :thumb:
Looking for a touch over 200hp from the engine.
Like to add a genuine 200hp but it may be more but reliability being the key.
Gearset and diff may be for sale soon too as well due to an upgrade, unused as supplied by Quaife so if anyone is looking for a brand new sccr gearset and ATB then PM me

Stunning parts, im in awe of the pics of the engine being built, lovely stuff, i wish i had the money to burn!
Scott
That engine does look like porn.
Like the custom head on the stand too..lol
R E S P E C T!
Ah, i see what all the fuss is about now :)
Well there are 2 issues, one its not a Ford and two its fwd lol
However on this occasion I'll let it go as it does seem to be a impressive package !
nice jigsaw puzzle that
Foook me, thats some mega piston valve cutouts! :cool:
Engine porn :cool:
Its a bit suprising that he didnt start with a s/b 1800 16v engine?... Not that the 1600 isnt going to go well enough lol
His choice was to go down that route mainly as he already had a few parts ordered.
Power won't be like Lee's but as you say still seriously impressive for a 1.6
oh my days that is amazing carnt wait for the next update and pics
Well no updates on the engine as yet due to a clutch and flywheel still needing to be chosen but to keep him busy he now has one of these :

Hewland 6 speed dogbox with F3 spec diff :)
Originally run in the Vectra Challenge cars, based on a F18, nothing like a Quaife dog box, these are a serious bit of kit, some of he machining on the gears is AWESOME,I'll take a good picture of one of the spare gears.
The new Quaife SCCR gearset he has will now be up for sale, its literally as it arrived from Quaife but he's not wanting rrp for it, I'll get some pics and put a advert up later, there may be a ATB diff to go with that too although I think he has a buyer sorted for that.
More updates after Christmas :)
Box looks sweeeeeeeet!
:)
He couldn't resist it, tbh I'd like to think it will save him going through several Quaife ones so longterm it should be a good investment !
Well he won't have to buy porn again thus saving money
Fair point !
Once again though all the best bits will end up being hidden away LOL
That gearbox is a little bit seksi. :cool:
is it possible for you to ask him where he got is main bearing stud kit from please?
gearbox ala lee303 also.. tis the pinacle pretty much.

Still awaiting a clutch to show up, dry sump tank needs to be mounted and a few brackets made then the bay will get a lick of paint (as it clearly needs it lol) then it will finally go together.
thats a special box :)
Interested to know where the brake pipe holder came from?
I just saw the brake pipe holder too.. I must look in to that.
Looking good JB, i'm really looking forward to seeing this as a whole.
He made the holders iirc
More updates soon !
Update:
Dry sump tank installed, there are a few more things to sort but it looks like he won't actually need to repaint the bay which is a result as a:it saves time and b: the engine should be in sooner ! :)

Engine will be dropped in this week just to make sure everything fits then the lot will come out, bit of a tidy up and then the final install !
Looks good lots of work gone into that :) one thing, you are gonna tension that timing belt arent you? nice build chap
Pure sex JB love the engine too - i think you should leave the belt loose lol
filth aint it..
Belt is correctly tensioned.........
not lol
Its not quite finished yet as you can tell but don't worry nothing will be left out.
I would not want to be responsible for the belt coming off that engine that is for sure !
Some VERY nice bits yet to come for the engine though but you will have to wait and see what !
Engine porn!
Whats the scores on the doors for?
How many times they've knocked one out over the engine in a day ??
Honestly I have no idea but the Jon on there isn't me !
Probably soggy biscuit then. Loser eats all.
that engine is mint mate!! will sound the nuts when its done!!
