Well, the big intention for buying the cupra was to eventually put the 20VT lump into it... so over the last month or two i set out to do just that...
Big thanks to Ben (Roly) BTW for his help throughout... i have been angging him a lot so definitely worth a mention for him. Thanks again mate
It is really just a load of photos but its an inspiring bunch of photos at that
Ended up buying an AGU large head engine, that had just had the head re conditioned. Bought the engine with all anciliaries and turbo, intercooler, and ecu so was really just a case of fitting it all together ...in way.
So got the engine and proceeded to give it a good overhauling as it had been sat for a year or so doing nothing...
Gave the block a lick of paint
and stripped all the crud off all the ali parts and cleaned and repainted water lines, brackets etc
cleaned up the cam shaft as that was seeing some surface rust from being sat
replaced the water pump for the metal impeller one
re-honed the cylinders as i was replacing the rings so needed to be done,
