stef's 205 gti6 supercharged

[Stef205]

Had been "nursing" the engine for a while, started pushing water out and started to run hotter. Decided it was time to pull it out. 
The original plan was just to lift the head and repair what was needed.

Which in turn changed to this.

Now it had become a full engine build and a engine bay tidy and repaint.    

Engine strip began

Head and valves seemed ok.

The head was then sent to sandy to work his magic

in the mean time the block was fully stripped and inspected, Big ends where in top shape but the mains had taken a small blow. 
It really wasnt worth spending money on a cast crank so i raided the spare hdi engine for its forged crank

quick test fit of the 88mm crank

xu5/7/9 thurst washers need to use this crank in a xu10 block.

block was cleaned and gave it a slight hone. The block wasnt scored or did it have any lip at the top it was mearly to score bore up.

About as much as i can show you
The heat also received new valve guides, and serdi valve seats head was skimmed abit more than expected but wont effect the build. 
head was put back on with a genuine gasket, genuine bolts and added some newman camshafts to the mix.

secretly there just boxes

The standard exhaust manifold was modified, the flange appeared to be the restricting part as it really funnel necks down. I removed the flange and opened the collector to 3" to match the exhaust sizing i plan to use. 
The mandatory v-band was added

Wont stay that clean im sure.

I turned my attention to the engine bay. 
I fully stripped all the paint off the bay with industrial paint stripper as it was easier. Then my good friend that paints at mclaren came down and painted the bay for me. Not bad considering the conditions.
