XUD powered kit car

[Xud Missile]

Time to dig this up from the depths and get back on it. I've barely touched this for ages but starting to get the ball rolling again now. 

Last time I had it running something went wrong. A loud bang followed by massive amounts of smoke from cylinder 3. I haven't taken it to bits yet and didn't have the time to. Valve stem, pistons ring, cracked head? no idea yet! Place your bets now. So what I've done for now is buy a running engine just to slap in there and get it up and running again for summer with turbo only. In the meantime I'll build up a decent engine.

I've had a spare engine sitting under my workbench for a couple of years, I've adapted my engine stand to take an XUD. This is the one I'll be rebuilding.





And here's the engine I picked up yesterday that I'll stick straight in so I can get some use of the kit over the summer. This was from an 806, as is the engine currently in the MK. Came with a bosch pump, T2 and an EGR-related clogged intake that would put a 400lb american's arteries to shame


Sitting next to the MK now, I'll start doing the swap tomorrow evening. Shouldn't take that long really
