I bought an accurate set of scales. One of the pistons required a bit of filing but the rest were very close. I was able to get the pistons, pins, rings and locking pins into matching sets to within 0.1 grammes. The balancing work was done by Swaymar Marine. The guy down there, Dave, clearly didn't ...

JE oversize pistons, forged rods and ARP AGE625+ hardware; http://i64.tinypic.com/2pqpe1h.jpg All bolted in, with calico coated bearings. You see see where material was removed from the counterweights during the balancing. http://i64.tinypic.com/2j1vt39.jpg The sump is made up of two sections; a ste...

Update on the head work. The studs to block the EGR channels were ground down; http://i66.tinypic.com/2hezqs7.jpg Then blended the valve guides into the ports. http://i63.tinypic.com/1ys70z.jpg http://i67.tinypic.com/wrge94.jpg The Audi TT-RS inlet manifold splits into two sections; the plenum and t...

Woo! The block is finally ready to collect from the engineer. It's been there for 8 weeks, hence not many updates. There wasn't that much to do on it (overbore, line hone, reface), I think they were just a little bit slow. In the mean time I have been getting on with the porting and polishing of the...

So, I bought a spare head from the USA and when it turned up it was in better condition than the one I already had. So I'm going to use that one instead. Stripped it down completely. The seller had cleaned the head in a parts washer which makes it so nice to work with - no oil or grease. I had read ...

Do you know what the compression ratio is with your pistons? From the photo of your manifold you're using an external WG, what size did you choose? I've chosen 1000cc injectors as well so is be interested to know what is the max duty you see (@ bhp?) and what the base pressure is too. I'm not using ...

Hey Alex,

Can you reveal any details of the spec? I'm interested!
Such as what turbo? Do you have to use a restrictor?
What pistons are you using?

They are ten-a-penny in the USA, so cheap to buy on eBay. Shipping it here was a bit of a nightmare though. I see TT-RS engines for sale on German eBay for 10,000 Euros...... :o More updates coming soon. Bottom end is still getting machined. The spare head I bought arrived. Stripped it down. I will ...
