No news for a little while but there has been a little progress here and there.
It turns out the new block we picked up was just as bad as the old one. Also we would have needed to fab an oil feed for the turbo, not a massive problem but extra work.
We have decided to rebore the original block and get some new pistons. Well the new pistons have arrived today (Accralite Forged +1.5mm). This should allow us to safely run h igh boost levels if we wish to do so. We still intend on running approx 1bar/14psi.
The Ka is pretty much all stripped out and we installed one seat to test fitting with the Fiesta subframes. We will need to make a small spacer for one of the bolting points but otherwise they fit fine.
I have also since picked up a Sparco 6 point roll cage and Magnex full stainless system. The cage has never been used and is still mostly unpainted.
Also I have just purchased a new OMP WRC wheel and MOMO boss kit along with a fuel swirl pot and some Goodridge brake lines. My shopping list also includes some braided fuel lines and a fuel filter, injectors and pump.
All in all a bit more to go but still alive and progressing :)
I'll leave you with a picture of the lovely pistons...
