DaNnY_LaD's HTA-Gt2868R Big turbo Build(Now @ AKS Tuning)

[DaNnY_LaD]

Took the Timing pulley off and found these:

But looks fine from the out side:

Unless it should be wider:

Damage Could be alot worse tbh But all id need is timing belt kit,Crank Pulley & Bolts,HeadGasket,Headbolts and i could get a 2nd hand head for £200 off a TT....

But im going to Rebuild my current one with some uprated parts ect....Least Bottom End seems fine..

Nice one Danny can't wait to order my bits will hopefully pay later today can't actually wait to drive my car again

 

[wild willy]

Great list of mods ther Danny. I'm tempted by a set of valves off Integrated engineering but i'm undecided if its worth the cost and i'm waiting to set the outcome of thier mild camshafts too. Looking forward seeing you back on the road.

 

[Murdered LCR]

I'm ordering a set as well willy .... Do it

 

[DaNnY_LaD]

Ferrea Valves FTW

Sent you a Pm Carl

Like I said before, I hope your mechanic friend is paying for the bil....

From the pics it looks like it's on a driveway rather than workshop & lots of first person references suggest that he might not be...

 

[DaNnY_LaD]

Anway Back on topic..

Started to paint a few things to de-bling parts and Freshen them up So started with Rocker Cover and Charge Pipe...Used VHT Wrinkle paint which is Awesome i used a Heat gun for Immense Results....

its still drying at the moment so it will even out...


P.s thanks Ash for the paint..xxxx

Nice man, I've been tempted to the wrinkle paint... Looks quality.

Saw a few S3's wrinkled up at U'Dubs today aswel

 

[cupra r. ash]

Lookin good. Be alot better tmoz wen fully dry. Gonna do my inlet mani tmoz with it and try and polish the rocker cover if i cba.

Yeah looks miles better now 4hrs on...Super Durable finish and its drying hard....

Expensive though per Can...

Danny, you will need to get your paint scraper out as youve painted the oil cap, the DV and n75 sealing faces lol
Shouldn't be too difficult to remove.

 

[DaNnY_LaD]

I know just done it with a Stanley blade was real easy..jobs a gooden

 

[caney]

I bought that paint for my inlet mani and couldn't get a decent finish at all! It just looked really shiny and the paint looked blistered rather than a powder coat effect. I'm guessing there's a knack to putting it on then

 

[DaNnY_LaD]

Yeah Caney...

The Idea is the more the better i mean i put 5-6 coats on and it came to this finish after 3 coats it was shiney and like you said blistered...


The more the better ...heat gun always helps

 

[cupra r. ash]

U have to spray it on in different directions. Up and down, side to side, then diagonaly. Did this on my bat cover and looks good, until i tried to put it back on not realising it was still abit soft and put a fingerprint in it

 

[Murdered LCR]

It's on like donkey kong hurry up shiny bits
