It could do with bigger injectors, the 380's are a bit, well, maxxed out.

What did you do have a word with a guy on a Camel ?
Did you let the unfortunate arab gentleman who sent you these pay your VAT.
Or did you palm a officer of our crown to get them into EU at LHR customs ?
Something is dodgy here , I bet you got them cheap.

I was going to use second hand rings, this engine really is getting spoilt now!

Looking good.
It's nice to see a budget build where costs are kept as low as possible as realistically
That's the level most people are at.
You should manage a 12 without issue.
I managed 11.68 with around 400bhp all be it in a classic

but how does he get that ?
He has 380'cc s and still makes a 12.x sec 1/4 mile , heaven knows how you get this AFR on a 330 bhp at just 1.0 bar .
Somewhere I am obviously going about this the wrong way.
Mickey will then no doubt tell us that he only get 50 mpg shortly.
What turbo are you using Mickey ? bet its bigger than mine too

All the work myself too, so zero labour costs involved, just my time. (Which with an 18 month old toddler and a house to do up is in short supply!)

Brief history.
March 2005 Bought car, standard apart from decat and dodgy boost controller.
April 2005 GReddy Boost controller fitted, running 1 bar. Just under the fuel cut.
At somepoint a mate told me to fit a Z4 Ecu, so I did.
December 2006, chucked an FMIC on it.
January 2007 chucked the Nur Spec on and it's been like that ever since.
It made the numbers that it did, and has ran the times that it has, and that is all I know.
Sorry for the slight off topic.

Got my pistons in today. Checked ring gaps, 1st rings were too tight so had to file the rings to open the gaps up a bit.
Second rings spot on, as were the oil control rings.
Pistons all fitted, circlips in, plugs in and plates on. Short block built!
I took my best looking oil pump from a choice of three, took the plate off it, near mint inside, so it will be getting a clean and put back together and bolted on. I will be shimming up the PRV same as the one I am currently running.
As you can see the pump looks like new, I'll get some more pics of the pump internals tomorrow, overall showing minimal wear.
Left a note on the breather plate too for the next time.

No rush for that! Still running well on the engine that's in it!
Looking to stop snapping driveshafts when launching first. Think this new set up will eliminate the problems I've been having.
Maybe get the heads on this engine next weekend, busy with my wee girl this weekend.
Then again I've got to do some mot repairs to my other car and get it tested and sold, so maybe no time next weekend! Busy busy....

less than a thou over the 4 piston match them to the bores, good old fashioned "blue printing".
Put some locktite on the screws on the back of the oil pump as these have a habit of loosening off. Loving the build.

I cleaned, loctited and used impact screwdriver on the countersunk screws, they aren't coming slack!
I checked the valves/seats for seal by putting brake cleaner in the combustion chamber, no leak past the valves. Heads will just be getting a clean and bolted on then 👍
Must resist porting

I washed a cylinder head in our dishwasher a while back, didn't tell the wife at all. All was well until she was going to use it and seen that most of the plastic parts inside had been covered in black crap! Took me a while to clean it. Oops lol

I did that too, but one day I forgot about them and put everything away in my cupboard. A while later when i was in bed I could hear a load of weird noises coming from the cupboard and traced it to my maggot box. The buggers had turned in to flys!

Heads are mostly cleaned up by hand, wire brush sandpaper etc. Will see about cleaning them later on.
Then they can go on. Along with the cam covers, sump and timing belt. Then I just need to de tumble flap and paint some inlet manifold bits and she's done.
Going to look t mounting an external trigger wheel and VR sensor while it's out too
