2.15 Stroker P1 Project

Thought i might start up a project thread on here so people have a vague idea who i am when i finally make it to some meets once this is finished!

You guys made me very welcome and I have some interesting shot of the build process so thought it might be nice to share.

Car started smoking one morning on cold start so it got taken to Chris Palmer Auto's in Bristol for Spencer to take a look at. They found masses of petrol in the sump. 600 hydro carbons to be precise! Told this would normally be below 100. The cause it still unknown until my engine is stripped down but look like piston 4 has an issue –

Compression Test Results: Pistons 1-3 = 155-160psi, but number 4 down to 135psi.
Leak Down Test Results: 1-3 = 10-15% but number 4 = 22%.
Spark plugs: 1-3 were black where it had been running lean and number 4 had a fine glaze of oil over it.
There was a small amount of tiny swarf particles found in the sump.
Bores and top of pistons and valves etc look of with the camera (although he can’t seen them too well with the camera) but it’s feared the side of the piston might be where the issue lies, and the small bits of swarf could have blocked but the oil pump cause the loss in pressure.

So anywho I had to make a decision and after about a month of research bugging the hell out of other specialists, mappers, and Techy gurus I opted to go for a 2.1 Stroker Kit, capable of 550bhp. I only wanted to rebuild once and didn’t want to be restricted by the build spec, this is what we decided on:

Actual build outsourced to Advance Automotives, build by Nick Johnson.

Striped, cleaned, honed and bored

14mm head stud converted
Machined block faces and modified oil ways

Out of interest. Who is doing your mapping?

Bob Rawle will be on mapping duty. Used him since my first map, and offers great techinical support so only right i use him.

Next choice would have been Paul Blamire or Pat Herborne.

I used Bob for my mapping before the engine change. He is spot on. Used to enjoy the drive home from Swindon :doubleup:

I am now using Simon JGM, the legend in the making. Got a sesh with him on Friday at Surrey RR, along with a few others from here.

So what have you changed since you last map Mr.Wozel sir ?

Can I come and spectate?

RCM Induction Kit fitted yesterday, new simtek map being fitted by JGM on Friday at SRR.

CJ, Nick (Blue Bugeye), Simon and I will be there from about 10.30am I expect. Plus others I expect.

More than welcome to come and watch if you want to.

looking very good, whos doing your maching work?

Thanks Tone. All the machining and building is being done by Nick Johnson @ Advanced Automotives. He is closely affiliated with RCM and does some work for them when they are too busy...

The engine removal, head removal, redress and refit plus all my toys are being done by Spencer Chard @ Chris Palmer Autos...

So............ a cheap rebuild then :whistle:

Yet another cracking project to watch on here. :10:

I might go as well if i can get the day off. I've booked simon for a road remap next month so would be good to meet him first!

Cool, the more the merrier. :10:

Lets stop Hijacking this thread and move our session conversation to a suitable home. I'll get something in General going. :mrgreen:

Sorry Spooky, you can get your thread back on track now :drive:

Cant wait to see the finished product

Just a wee update.

Ordered an RCM billet timing belt guide
HKS LTD Edition Rad Cap (1.1)

Tuesday night I took a road trip to pick up my powder coated bits. Got some nice new shiny bolts for them today! Not sure how the Allen key style will go down on the rocker covers, but no biggie to change them back over.

Also got a few bits sand blasted for me to spray myself in 74F blue, will post picks when they are done.

Will be picking up the MD321T Saturday morning and most likely adding a few more things to the list while I’m at the garage.

Really really looking forward to Saturday! I get to see my car again, I haven’t seen it since 01/10/09 :-(

Mate, that is a lovely pile of BLING!

:10:8-)8-)8-):10:

Cheers Worzel :D

Can't wait to see what it all looks like together with the braided fuel and oil lines!

Took an early morning road trip with my mate dan to Bristol this morning to see the crazy west country folke and drop off my blinged up goodies!

took a stop off on my way to collect my new tubby too. Wasn't a great start me on the phone to Matt both saying were in Costa coffee before realising we were at different services, but a burger king and 10 miles later i picked up this baby, Lateral MD321T

Got to CPA and after a cuppa when to have a butch at my baby, she looked so lonely tucked away in the back, cold, with the lights off :smblk:

http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s...7022010248.jpg

Fitted a new headunit while i was there and done some shiny nut and bolt replacements under the bonnet :google:

http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s...7022010249.jpg

Before leaving tucking her back in for the weekend...

http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s...7022010254.jpg

Estimated time of completion is about 3 weeks, so long as i don't ad anything else to the list. Although i did add a few more things to the list already today, DOH!

Small update, not much interesting to post until the engine comes out tomorrow and gets stripped. Hopefully this will happen to make sure i'm ready for the 26th!

Lateral Performance Custom 76mm Hybrid Inlet pipe with breathers blocked off.
Lateral Performance MD321 series fitting kit.

Cheers Bud!

Lets hope that Spencer meets the dealine for the mapping!

This really is going to be another stunner :cool:

Getting closer then :more:

Cheers Worzel! Lets hope so!

Certainly is creeping up CJ, quite busy now finalising other add on specs and ridding my system of impulse buys LOL!

Ridding Your System of Impulse Buys! :lol:

I wish we all had a pound for every time we had said that. ;-)

second that !:rofl:

Nice to see someone doing it right Spook. That will be a lovely pice of kit when finished mate, good on yer......... and it's a P1 :doubleup:

Only 700 left world wide now and I know of 3 that have gone from a nice road car to a stripped track car.

Are you coming to the 10th Anniversary at Prodrive ? I have not checked the list by 80 P1's have confirmed and I have booked the Holiday Inn at Banbury (Nr Prodrive) on Sat 8th of May.

P1's all meeting up in lay by then all 80 are driving in convoy to Prodrive to meet up with other clubs.

Holiday Inn - Banbury (Reception 01295 234567)

Cheers Fudge! I can't wait to drive it again, it feels like i have butterflies in my stomach 24/7 for the last month or so, the wait is agonising! Maybe i'll pop down to Tonbridge one night and meet up in an effort to clock up some running in miles?

I think that will be a plan Clive, what time are you heading up there on Saturday roughly? could get a convoy together and tie it in with a bit of grub and a few beers?

Will speak to me mates who are along for the ride and sort out sleeping arrangements!

Yeah that would be good Spook.
Regarding Sat 8th I can arrange the time around you and your convoy.

I reckon if we get to Banbury for early evening, then have a meal and a few gallons at the hotel :-D

Feel free to use some milage driving to Tonbridge. I can take you for a spin to give you an idea of what 560 is like in a P1.
