sidrick Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Nice update and great work as usual I don't mean to hijack, but can you work on cracked heads such as the below, or would you recommend scrapping and finding a replacement? http://imageshack.com/a/img855/9163/jj5t.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacksofstichill Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 Cheers! Regarding that head I would try and find another one rather than use that one, it could cause more grief than it's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MAP sensor will have to be changed to suit forced induction and we have one here which should be okay to use when the time comes. At this stage though our plan (which may still change) is to get the engine in and run it on with no boost using standard management. Once it is run in we'll then move onto aftermarket management and change the MAP sensor to suit - http://blackengineering.co.uk/images/Doctor-Evil-RS2000-Turbo-Engine-Rebuild/01493.jpg Power Steering Pump and Bracket as removed - http://blackengineering.co.uk/images/Doctor-Evil-RS2000-Turbo-Engine-Rebuild/01494.jpg Pump removed from the bracket - http://blackengineering.co.uk/images/Doctor-Evil-RS2000-Turbo-Engine-Rebuild/01495.jpg Bare Metalled - http://blackengineering.co.uk/images/Doctor-Evil-RS2000-Turbo-Engine-Rebuild/01496.jpg Primed - http://blackengineering.co.uk/images/Doctor-Evil-RS2000-Turbo-Engine-Rebuild/01497.jpg Basecoated in Moondust SIlver and Lacquered - http://blackengineering.co.uk/images/Doctor-Evil-RS2000-Turbo-Engine-Rebuild/01498.jpg Starter motor as removed - http://blackengineering.co.uk/images/Doctor-Evil-RS2000-Turbo-Engine-Rebuild/01499.jpg Bare Metalled - http://blackengineering.co.uk/images/Doctor-Evil-RS2000-Turbo-Engine-Rebuild/01500.jpg Primed and Painted in Satin Black - http://blackengineering.co.uk/images/Doctor-Evil-RS2000-Turbo-Engine-Rebuild/01501.jpg Power Steering Pump alongside Powder Coated Pulley which Olly also bought - http://blackengineering.co.uk/images/Doctor-Evil-RS2000-Turbo-Engine-Rebuild/01502.jpg Power Steering Pipes as removed - http://blackengineering.co.uk/images/Doctor-Evil-RS2000-Turbo-Engine-Rebuild/01503.jpg http://blackengineering.co.uk/images/Doctor-Evil-RS2000-Turbo-Engine-Rebuild/01504.jpg Cleaned Back ready for painting - http://blackengineering.co.uk/images/Doctor-Evil-RS2000-Turbo-Engine-Rebuild/01505.jpg Primed - http://blackengineering.co.uk/images/Doctor-Evil-RS2000-Turbo-Engine-Rebuild/01506.jpg http://blackengineering.co.uk/images/Doctor-Evil-RS2000-Turbo-Engine-Rebuild/01507.jpg And Painted in Satin Black - http://blackengineering.co.uk/images/Doctor-Evil-RS2000-Turbo-Engine-Rebuild/01508.jpg http://blackengineering.co.uk/images/Doctor-Evil-RS2000-Turbo-Engine-Rebuild/01509.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tezmanian devil Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I like it, some serious effort going into this!! hi-specs look like my old ones, does one of the calipers have a black smudge on the face that wont come off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacksofstichill Posted March 21, 2014 Author Share Posted March 21, 2014 Tip: ensure the MAP sensor bracket you make has the inlet nozzle facing downwards, to stop water build up inside the sensor Thanks, will remember that when I fit the new one onto it's bracket. I like it, some serious effort going into this!! hi-specs look like my old ones, does one of the calipers have a black smudge on the face that wont come off? Cheers! Yes, they will be your old Calipers right enough, Olly bought that white mk5 from you with them fitted (I think?) and they were removed and fitted to this before he sold it on. They're a nice set of stoppers!
