Hi, looks really nice, don't loose heart.
Gooddamn, valve timing it's real easy with a marked belt, sorry I can't show you, it would sort it out in a moment.

what i cant understand is how it ran worse
i took the old belt off,nothing chaged accept for me moving the cam pulley slightly to line everything up but no more than say 1 or 2 teeth, so all marks lined up including the bottom pulley,
also counted the number of teeth inbetween wich came out spot on.
still ran the same,
put a new exhaust cam and cas in, same again, the new cam went in exactly the same as the old one and timing marked up perfect and recounted teeth.
all fine.
then ran even worse.

so in the mean time ive got to..
remake some decent brackets for the front mount intercooler,
remove the abs..the pump is gone but need the t-pieces,
sand the engine bay day once the engine is out,
prime and paint it,
new engine,
redo the turbo gaskets,
maybe strip out the interior but not too sure yet.

Keep at it m8, it looks wkd!
I've got an engine rebuilt by mutant - done nearly 1000 miles now and all is good! James from mutant seems to be a good bloke,had a couple of probs,nothing to do with the engine and he's been really helpful.
Don't give up - it'll all be worth it when the boost kicks in and you fly up the road leaving everything behind in a cloud of tyre smoke!

just noticed now that the head on your CA is a jap spec head... or at least the plenum runners are... meaning 8port intake instead of the 4 port intake on the EU spec head...
anyway... the car have a very nice look... too bad you can't/couldn't find out the problem...

Guest
yeah its a smr special..mix off shit parts, jap spec 8 port head with the butterfly system inside that doesnt work.
just trying to source a engine now or a rebuild service.
