do a compression test dude, and see if theres any oil in the intercooler pipe that goes to the turbo.

do a compression test

hahaha a ct9 that can do 300-350hp!! they are chinese copies what I've read. stay well clear.

Yes if you got the stock oem bushes on. I thought my bushes were solid untill i took 2 out and they fell out of the mount. you goto put up with the shakyness at idle thats the downfall but its not to bad.

;p -

I have a forged engine mate lol - it was for another project but need the funds lol.

yeah mate exactly.

cheers shorty- trying to sell it seperatly now.

I have got second hand Athena gasket, arp headbolts, wiseco low comp pistons 74.5 and scat rods. How much do you think i could fetch all this for?

Glad to have it back running. Off to pod this weekend so maybe you'll catch me there if any of yous going ?

indeeed,, but now its goood. haha yeah, getting abused though hows the s2?

2 months later - I did an Open pit lane down at Brands Hatch 2 weeks ago. Which than 2 days later due to a headgasket failure. Stock HG are prone to going yet i still put it in my forged build and im pretty shocked it lasted all this time. But it was going to go at 1 stage and glad it did at Brands. I've cleaned her up,skimmed the head, repainted the front of the block. Brought these for the re-build up Saturday got the engine back in and managed to get her working yesterday

wow £60

Remove the efi fuse also - stops it pumping fuel in when cranking to get pressure.

Yes they are normal good quality belts. if in doubt get a kevler which is around £120 pounds.

my organic exedy is taking 270hp 250torquelol but yeah what sanchez said. go for something better.

whats ya symptoms on the hgf dude ?

Thanks Dan. Not much update although took it round Brands Hatch open pit lane and mustard the Headgasket. Oh well standard HG lasted well over a year on TD04. So the engine is coming out saturday and will go from there.

athena

I wasnt to sure if the stroke length and the volume is correct though just been given it from tgtt. But am i looking at having a higher compression then before or even a lower compression after i do this HG change.

right got a compression of 7:2:1 with details diamter : 74.5 stroke length : 77.4 cylinder : 4 chambers cc: 39 piston dished : -10 gasket : 1.2mm sounds about right ?

I'v had the head skimmed twice, and the block once. My HG has failed after a blat around brands hatch open pit i got a athena 1.2mm to go on, what compression would this bring me too ? im worried I've skimmed the head to much now.
