2.15 Stroker P1 Project 550bhp spec
Got some interesting pics of the engine build going on so thought I’d start up a project thread on here…
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 number 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. Closed Deck Block with under piston oil squirters Striped, cleaned, honed and bored Rear thrust converted 14mm head stud converted Machined block faces and modified oil ways 2150cc Stroker kit New 2.5 STi nitride crank cross drilled Manley steel H section rods and ARP2000 bolts Mahle 2618 race material lower deck stroker pistons, rings and pins ACL full RACE bearing set Full gasket/seal set 0.6mm 3 layer Cometic head gaskets ARP 14x12mm head bolt set Skim and clean cylinder heads 12mm RCM modified high flow oil pump New cam belt, rollers, and tensioner New modine oil cooler New sump pan and pick-up New water pump Fuel lab 3 port adjustable FPR with braided lines and pressure gauge Reversed fuel rails Cossie sump baffle plate RCM light-weight pulleys nickel plated Cool running thermostat. Then for uber-blingness I am getting parts painted or powder coated in 74F / Red / Black and replacing bolts with shiny stainless options: Painted block Rocker covers Header tank PS pump reservoir Timing belt cover Pulley cover Fan shroud Rad brackets Fuse box cover Ancillary brackets holding alternator / air-con / PS pump etc I already have: Engine External: HKS 3” Hi-Power Strait through Centre pipe HKS 3” Hi-Power back box H&S 3” Decat downpipe GT spec Gen II Tubular unequal length headers, Harvey Smith Custom up-pipe, Headers DEI Titanium heat-wrapped Up-pipe DEI Titanium heat-wrapped Downpipe DEI Titanium heat-wrapped RCM Hi Flow Induction, Lateral Performance MD321T Turbo, Power Enterprise 550cc flow matched injectors, Bob Rawle Remap, Walbro 255 Fuel Pump, NGK PFR7B spark plugs gapped to 0.6, 3 port boost control solenoid, Ported throttle body, Insulating manifold spacers, Header tank spacers, GT spec Gen II FMIC, J Performance High capacity Aluminium Radiator, Exedy Single Plate Organic Clutch, Fidanza 4.4kg Lightweight Flywheel, Prodrive Slam Panel, Full Samco setup.

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. PS Pump Reservoir and Header Tank http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s...5022010239.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s...5022010238.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s...5022010237.jpg Rocker Covers http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s...5022010242.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s...5022010241.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s...5022010240.jpg And just another shot of the Aircon / alternator / PS brackets / Slam panel brackets http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s...5022010243.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s...5022010244.jpg 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!

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 :thumb: http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s...7022010252.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s...7022010251.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s...7022010250.jpg 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 :( 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 :rolleyes: 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 now, so long as i don't add anything else to the list. Although i did add a few more things to the list already today, DOH! :lol1: |

How do you work that out then? It will be done this year, of that I'm certain. I'm only a clutch and an ECU short of finishing it :) Spooky, Atleast your cars indoors with a nice cover on it. Mine is subject to the elements on the driveway LOL |

You not thought about a baffled sump while the engine is out of the car? Lot better than a sump plate!
Looks like a lovely build- just got mine back after a week and thought that was long enough! |
