Probably looking for hens teeth here, but does anyone here have a coupe turbo with no engine/box, or a blown engine, that they would consider selling?

Please let me know if you have, or if you know where there might be one....

Many thanks,

Dom

Dom

What happened to this?

Dom

What were the 2 cars that passed you at the start..?

Thanks,

Dom

Dom

Don't know if this has been posted before - apologies if it has... Just came across it on Pistonheads, and upon viewing, saw the first car was a venerable R8 wedge :w00t: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0s1y7W4DmxM See the first car, and also around 4.45... Hope its of interest to some... :) Dom

My throttlebody-to-Dump-valve-Tpiece piece is collapsing when off boost. Looking for either the throttlebody-to Tpiece, or will take both sides of T-piece (ie. both cut bits)... Whos still got what from the above replies - would rather have a samco-style piece than an original if possible... Let me ...

Dom

Are these gone - was looking for the throttlebody-to-intercooler pipe...?

Dom

Hi guys, My never-ending quest to get my car running right and stop it overfuelling is running out of options... We have changed every sensor, checked as much loom as we can - all to no avail, and the only thing that we can think of is that the ECU might be borked (perhaps the MAP sensor within it)....

Dom

Was in PM conversation about buying bits, but has now gone cold - not answering my PMs for the last week...

Does anyone know if he's on holiday/Mars/asylum/etc..?

Thanks,

Dom

Dom

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to nail down a problem with the coupe, and need a new stepper motor to swap for my current one.

Need a known good stepper motor, or the whole butterfly/throttlebody - please let me know if you have a good one!

Thanks,

Dom

Dom

PM'ed.

Dom

Hi guys,

Turns out that the speedo sender for my PG1 turbo box is done for so I need to get another - if anyone has a spare PG1 sender (electric not mechanical cable), please give me a PM as I am in need!

Many thanks,

Dom

Dom

Would be up for it.

Next few weekends are busy though - everyone plans stuff for the same weekends in summertime

Dom

Dom

Sorry - just to clarify:

The car usually has a car cover strapped down over it - we just removed this in order to take the photos...

HTH,

Dom

Dom

OK,update. Apparently it was bought off a guy called Pete Winstone about 3.5 years ago, but still to get all the info on it It has a rollcage & fire extinguisher system as you would expect, note that the oil cooler has been moved to behind the headlight, push-button start, laptimer, and extra se...

Dom

Yup!
Next to Bournemouth Uni.

Been off the board for a couple of years, but Coupe just coming out of garage with rebuilt engine, so will be more active shortly, getting out-and-about in the car...

Dom

Unsure where Bradpole Road is (unles you mean near Castlepoint)..?

This is in Southbourne...

HTH,

I have met a chap down here in Bournemouth that has one of the racing Tomcats for sale. I have no information about it, nor can I vouch for it in any way, shape or form - HOWEVER, I am putting this message up to find out if there would be any interest in it... I don't know any details about it, nor ...

Dom

Mitsi FTO GPX? No comparison, sorry. Brother used to have one - great noise, but not as fast as you would hope due to the abysmal tiptronic 4-speed gearbox. Good press at the moment for the Mazda MP3 thingy - although appreciate it's a hatch, 260ish brake for ~£3k... I would also be looking at Rover...

Dom

do you have the catalytic convertor for the coupe..?

Thanks,

Dom

Dom

UPDATE:

I have now got the block I required - so I am all sorted.
Many thanks to all those who responded.

Cheers,

Dom

Dom

Mark - PM'ed.

Thanks,

Dom

Dom

Many thanks "1994 BRG Coupe" - Unfortunately I require something low-mileage if I'm going to go down this route... Looks like Cableguy says a rebore might be possible, but looks like I'm not helping myself by having to spec a block around the pistons/rods... If anyone here has got a low-mi...

Dom

Hey guys, I have been advised that for my rebuild (M16 pistons/rods), I should opt for a low mileage NASP block, rather than getting a (higher mileage) turbo block which will have much more wear in the bores... So does anyone have a low mileage T16 NASP block, from a 220/420/820...? Just to re-itera...

Dom

Hi Ricky - thanks for the heads-up....

Have PM'ed you....

Dom

Unfortunately Sy can't help me...

So still looking for a block...

To recap - I cannot enlarge the bore (already have pistons) - so need to get my hands on a very good condition block, with near-as-dammit perfect bores...

Can anyone help me..?

Thanks,

Dom

Dom

Really need a turbo block, but am right down south - no hope of collecting.
Is there any possibility of organising a courier to deliver it down to me..?

Many thanks!

Dom

Dom

Graham is about - I met up with him last weekend to collect the engine.

I think he is totally rushed off his feet with work at the moment, but is aware there are peeps here waiting - so I'm sure he will get back to you as soon as he can...

HTH

Dom

Dom

Cool - is it possible to arrange courier, or would it be pick-up only..?

Anyone else nearer to Bournemouth..?

Thanks,

Dom

Dom

I need a T16 turbo block from a coupe/GTi - literally just the block... Have got an uprated engine only to find that the no.1 bore has a huge trench dug into it - so need to swap the block for a good one. I am only looking for a good condition block - I have to rebuild the engine from scratch now, s...

Dom

Any of you guys have a forged turbo engine that you are considering selling..? I need to replace the engine in the coop - only need to to replace the block (ie. short engine) but am willing to consider a wide range of variations: components, new or used, mileage, price etc Please give me a shout, le...

Dom

Anyone know if I can get through to Smithy88 about this engine..?

In the market for a 2nd hand forged engine - would love to know if this, or any others are available...

I know he's banned - but will an email get sent though to him if I PM his account..?

Cheers,

I remember being told about this, or another very similar engine - had the spec used.
The only thing I can remember is Omega pistons, but remember being very excited about the potential the engine held...

Dom

Dom

Anyone know if Phoenix is about..? Have PM'ed him but no reply.
Anyone know if he sold the engine..?
