heres some pics of my freshly rebuilt engine 8)

 

Heres a list of whats been fitted

 

New clutch,

lightened & balanced flywheel,

Red top injectors,

rebuilt cylinder head,

schrick cam,

1.9 bottom end,

ported and flowed supercharge,

complete engine loom,

all new bolts and fixings,

rallye fmic (on loan for the time being)

And the most obvious change that you notice straight away is that we have painted the entire engine black which looks stunning!!!

 

Even though the transformation isn't complete yet I am well happy with the results so far, hopefully we will be getting it running tomorrow night so I can drive it away on saturday!!! I cant wait 8)

 

I want to put a big shout out to Darren, liam and steve who have been helping me with the rebuild the transformation is amazing 8)

Thanks for the comments guys 8)

 

Chris long time no see how's it going?

 

You would not believe how much time has been spent on this engine now so many things have been replaced I have lost track. But it has all been worth it and should have it back on the road in the very near future and hopefully thats where it is going to stay for a long while so I can start to enjoy it rather than wave the cursing stick at it!!! :D

 

Anyways heres a couple more pics it's looking almost complete now just got to get the freshly ported charger instaled and get the oil feeds to it on, top it up with oil and coolant, bleed the brakes and then it should be all systems go :D

Well an hour or so the corrado made its first voyage with the all new engne and all I can say is WOW!!! 8) You just have to :D everytime you feather the accelerator 8) I obviously cant put the power down yet as everything has to bed in first but even off boost you can feel the torque and the power waiting to be unleashed :D

 

Who needs 16v G60 power when you've got this engine :D :D
