Thought I may as well pop a thread up about my Brat build.
![]() ![]() Thats how I bought it, I've stripped the front end ![]() And done bugger all else really since last year.Except a lot of research on high power scoobs in general.Oh and parts collecting. But now I have my garage back after selling this ![]() So I can crack on ![]() Still debating on head choice as I have newage manifold with 800 Lateral Injectors...but I have a brace of V3sti heads (that I'm just stripping to have a look over) and a ph 1 front entry inlet manifold. Hmmmm Whatever heads I use they will sent to be cnc ported and hand finished, new bronze guides and valves and spring etc etc.....its all in the heads chaps ![]() Need the engine bay to look something like this ![]() If I get it something like this I'll be happy........ ![]() Will keep you posted |

Will have the engine stripped this week, order some plastiguage and dig my micrometers out and have a measure up see whats been happening in there. I think its got wossner pistons and pouter rods. So may be a new set of pistons if the rods are ok with cosworth or SMG's one's.As Pouter make good rods. I'm going to get a set of pistons from the USA anyway as they can send them to Swaine Tech to be coated, anti friction skirts and ceramic tops.
![]() Will sell the clutch an Act organic 420lb/ft and a six puck 520 lb/ft only done 3k. Get new clutch suitable for 6 speeder, send the whole rotating assembly including clutch to http://www.vibrationfree.co.uk/ for a race spec balance. Again worth every penny...... Order a GT3076 and we are off...........Well nearly ![]() Last edited by old93ra; 21-03-2011 at 08:04 PM. |

The main reason is it doesn't weigh much....and power to weight is where it at. There's someone who sprints a Foz saw a vid on 22b a while back, really mad mobile.....

But I hate noisy engines so usually spend the time on having them balanced,making the correct choice of components, quality machine work and spot on working tolerences.I dont do grinding buckets or valves etc, if the gap is wrong buy the right size shim. I like happy engines that make power easy. Thats about it really, havent done a project for years so I'll get this done and see what happens. I have a Motec M800 to run it, so should be cool ![]() |

![]() Thats what got me doing this ![]() ![]() Debating on where to mount the blower, I'm going to have a measure up and see if there's enough room for a front mounted Turbo. There is plenty of room between the back of the engine and the bulkhead though. As its 4WD I cant shift the engine back which is a pity. |

![]() Stripped more of the 2.5 lump and put on an engine stand, hopefully get the heads off in the next couple days then split it and have a peek. |
