SiCaln Posted June 21, 2015 Author Share Posted June 21, 2015 Nothing exciting to show you, but I have changed my diff out from the weak later SuperFuji diff to the earlier stronger TorSen II diff, acceleration is slightly up to and the feel through corners and slidyness is improved too Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SiCaln Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 (edited) So...my car was blowing some blue smoke, rather than take my car off the road engine out and fix valve stems and oil rings I got a second engine to work on then drop in, pretty good nick too 63k. Got a whole bunch of other parts with it too, these will be for sale if anyone wants them - poly bushed rear hub and brake assembly, lower wishbones with poly bushes, prop shaft,rear drive shafts and a mk2.5 exhaust mani. I only intended to strip off the clutch (pretty good cond), got a little carried away... Edited November 10, 2015 by SiCaln Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SiCaln Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 Finally had a good crack at the engine this weekend, got this far: I know the sensors are on the wrong way round on the front, but all that is holding me up now is three gaskets that are out of stock, then can drop it in!

roachburger Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Nice going buddy, looks smart, is yours a 6 speed ?Have you considered a coolant re-route kit ? If you are hammering tracks I would say it's a recommended piece of kit. So many of our track mx's fail on cylinder 4 due to cooling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share Posted September 15, 2016 Yes indeed it is a 6 speed, the mk2.5s don't need a re-route kit to my knowledge Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 So engine is now in, 1500 miles run and switched to fully synth oil. Also these have just arrived Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted April 3, 2017 Author Share Posted April 3, 2017 (edited) Wow over a year without an update, I have been slow Went to BBR for a remap on the mk2.5 on saturday, engine is clearly run in by now with a few oil changes under its belt. I also had the cat die on me so replaced that with a sport cat, anyways here is the graph and some snaps from the day. So the engine before was pretty healthy to be making 153, so 160 and 135 torque, wasn't a massive leap but certainly feels so different through the rev range, even sounds different too. Can't fault the guys at BBR, lovely guys and a result I'm pleased with. Edited April 3, 2017 by SiCaln Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted February 28, 2018 Author Share Posted February 28, 2018 Elsie is now sitting lower on Meister Zeta S coilovers, need slight adjustment to get it sitting right Also going to do another gearbox and diff oil change before Brands Hatch Along with replacing a damaged ABS sensor and two new front hubs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
