So!! The block is back, re-bored to 83mm for the new pistons, and everything is perfect, luckily enough the 0.25mm on the bore wall was enough to remove any damage from the piston.. In fact, the machine shop said that a heavy hone would have been enough, I think if it was going to be running standard power then yeah.. But with the plans that I have for the car immediately and in the long term, I want to make sure that this engine will be able to take everything that I throw at it!!
The engine will be getting built up starting next week, and shouldn't take long to complete, I should have lots of pictures of the build up to post soon!
Then its just a case of waiting for the parts from the states to arrive..
Thought I would post up a few more images of the turbo kit that BSH have just released.. (part of my kit is on that table I believe)
Can't wait to see this stuff on the car! Looks like amazing work!!
Plan is to run the car in for a week or so gently, drop the oil and see how everything is looking then go down to Revo and see what it will make! Limit is going to be the stock in tank fueling system at the moment but there are lots of things in the pipe line to sort that out!
On straight 93 octane (98 euro equivalent) guys in the states have got to around 450WHP on the stock fueling system with RS4 injectors before its maxed out, so thats what Ill be aiming for as a first shot.. Thats around 525hp at the crank.. Even with that power its going to be a very quick car!
