i cant belive how clean and good this engine looks

i hope it runs good in the car now matt

matthew im holding your lambda sensor ransom till you pay me moneys and a signed piece of paper saying youll let me have a drive ;)

Woop!

Gearbox has arrived! Havn't been home yet to put up a pic of it.

KMS Is ordered though!

Called GMC and ended up ordering KMS, Adapter loom, wideband and display with the lambda bit and with the 708's he strongly recommended upgrading my injectors to bigger ones aswel to help with the running and they'll be able to cope with anything im ever likely to throw at the car performance wise..

..Needless to say i ordered those aswel :)

Total cost for everything including VAT, delivery etc is Just under £1300 *ouch*

This KMS better be good Josh :p

my good that is expensive bettre be worth it, love the engine looks imaculate i would be too scared to drive it tbh. good luck with the conv if you were closeri would have poked my head in but hey ho

thing of beauty :y:

wow the engine is stunning, i want it!

you must earn a fortune to be able to afford to pay for all this!

matt your absoultly mental.
your actually not from this planet aha being able to make desicions like that aha i could only dream mate of doing this :panic: aha

but all i can say is this engines guna be a perfect match for your saxo mate :)
its making good progress

ive got a better idea than fitting ur engine
give it to meeeeeee

please please please

pretty pretty please

Fingures crossed your looms up to cratch then, unlike mine was and blew the display on the way up Lol, was all sorted @ gmc though, just hope yours makes it - i would recommend directly wiring in the wideband display,sensor and kms power from the battery, but its fairly complex so it might be worth hoping it makes it to gmc and getting to them to do it for you,

You take your chances as they say.

Kms is good ja, just a pain i cant get it working with my laptop, but works perfect with my old pc, weird bloody things. I'll get it working one day so you can sit in the passengers seat with the laptop and look at a shit loads of information from the engine :)

Its an amazing bit of kit once you learn the software tbh

The injectors will take you as far as you want to go NA power wise as John says, So...

Everythings set up for boddies and solids when your ready for them ;)

that engine looks immense mate! good work!

These injectors he said can be used with anything as theyre absolutely brilliant.

They'd just put some of those on a Turbo'd VTS that they'd finished working on which is putting out 220bhp at the wheels :panic:

Thats more power than im ever going to get close to so ill be happy with these :)

Hope this KMS does work fine, will definately need some help from you with it as i havnt got the slightest clue about any form of engine wiring, granted i havnt even had a look at my loom yet (list of things to do) but over a grands worth of kit i cant afford to blow up lol

putting the loom is easy as pie mate, you cant really go wrong.

I really hope the engine loom is plug and play with your interior loom, i cant see why it wont be :)

Wiring in the kms is fine as well pal, the only things im not too sure on is the extra sensors which mine doesnt have (tb's), but cant see that being a problem, i can help you 95% of the way with the loom / fitting kms.

I dont think the latest kms's come with the metal mounting like mine so you'll have to think of some way of mounting it to the ecu plate, securely but without it taking too much shock / vibrtations, especially with the group n engine mount shiz

I can search for some pics if you want?

Very impressive stuff matey

Not long now...must be feeling ansy every day just thinking about swapping over time coming nearer and nearer ;)

Just bin though all 40 pages! Excellant work mate your doing a great job.

Seen this engine in the metal and its perfect! Hope to fook it works when it goes in!

Be there for the first time you turn the key matt!

Bring a hard hat just incase anything bad happens lol

Buying my last lil bits now, 2 weeks to go

The work that youve put into this project is amazing! And the car is mint! I wish i had enough money to even get a VTS engine, rebuild it and slap it in without all the extras in it and on it! :y: Good job though on everything cant wait to see the final pics! Hope to see it in action too, you dont live that far away!

get a 106 xsi box on second best to rallye box

Ive stuck with a reconditioned VTS box with a 2 year warranty.

After that i may be looking at something a little more special gearbox wise :)

do you have much left to buy/prepare before you take your old engine out now?
