mk1 rs rep build

[d.p.n.s]

ok so i picked this minta up in August 2007

it was in or should i say half in a creek on a fram in Otago

and it cost me a doz bottles of beer.

i did start a build up topic on it when i got it home

but that was so long ago and it was to have full vl commonwhore running gear

then it was going to be v8 then it was to be bubble arched with a 13bturbo

but plans change as you all know.

its now going to be a mk1 rs2000 rep with a pinto turbo

so heres the lod girl as i got her

and here is what im aiming for

ok so here are the pics i have of her as she is now and has been since 2007

engine wise

it will be a 2.0 pinto turbo

i have 205 motors ones fuked and is now just use for trying shit out

the other has just been crack tested and is mint with standered bore.

the crank and bearings still look like new

i will be useing the 205 rods

i have a set of forged low com pistons thanks davidian (off here)

took me a while to get an email back from sealed power to confirm

they are .

as for the head im going to have a go at porting my own head (i have 3 so i can fuk 2 up lol)

with help of nissmo-capri

thinking of using puma race valves

and a standered cam for now

i have a turbo manifold thanks simon (nismo-capri)

its a twin scroll maifold set up for a evo4/5 turbo

and it mounts it nice and low close to the block

ok inlet side im useing a set of injected throttle bodies

form a zx12r they are 43mm each

brock-lee is having a go at making the inlet manifold for them and ill do the plenum

thanks to slayer00 for doing the flanges.

i have also bought a set of fiberglass rs front guards and a new front panel.

thast it for now.

cheers

just a small update on some of the stuff thats arrived

front gurads rs/mexico

new front i picked up from palmside

evo4 turbo complete with down pipe and o2 sensor

Eccentric adjustable top mounts

and also a new uncut loom for a link

but thats about all the money i hav saved so far gone

so ill start buy slowly re-building the bottom end of the motor

and stripping the whole car back to metal and go from there.

ok so i managed to get into the garage today

and started to strip the front end off

once it was all off i trial fitted the front panel

and it will be a nice fit.

there is still a lot of rust to fix in the front befor the new panel goes back on

and as you can see there is a lot of room there now for intercooler/radiator/fan

as for the box section x/member at the front im thinking of just replacing

with steel tube

thought i would try it with the rs guard on just for shits and giggles

starting to look like a escort again

in the past week i have also cleaned and flushed the block and gave it a paint

i will be give the bores a wee hone in the morning .

i also stuck a head on so i can see what needs doing to the manifold

i will need to cut the flange off the manifold and cut the manifold on an angle

so the flang is back on on a 45 then the turbo will sit perfectly and ill be able to use the evo

dump pipe aswell

so thats it for now

cheers
