Suppose i best post here.

Hello all

Im Jordie (jordon if you wanna use my sunday name), i live in the north east just west of newcastle in sunny northumberland.

Recently restored my car with new panels, spray job, wheels etc then decided to swap my 1330cc nut n bolt rebuild out for a turbo lump.

Did that, got it running, liked the power and acceleration so went out and bought myself a short block....


1310 block with morspeed pistons 13cc dish
MG metro N/A cam
head was rebuilt, with new valves valve seats guides, (180lb double valve springs which are brand new). the chambers are approx 25.5cc
Modified plenum for intercooler
Rebuilt carb with avonbar needle valve for high boost
Rebuilt turbo by avonbar
HC Oil pump
Crank in mint condition, possibly new when the short engine was built with new bearings etc.
Ultralight flywheel, rally bonded clutch plate, grey diaphram
S/C drops
*havent got cash for a s/cut box* fully rebuilt with new bearings and baulk rings A+ gearbox with 3.44 FD

I went for the 3.44 final drive, because i dont need the top end speed. The car is only used at weekends for runs around the countryside and shows. Should be rapid i hope.

I plan to run about 10psi boost, with a R5 intercooler and dumpvalve. Ive seen a seat intercooler which looks like it would fit nicely, so will need to decide on that one.

Currently looking into sourcing all the bits for megajolt.

Did i mention the car needs to be ready for may 8th as im going to IMM 2008 in holland. Thats engine built, in the car, rolling road setup, MOT'd, test drive for a week to iron out any problems and then go away. Oh lordy.....wheres the push bike?
