MK 2 RS2000 DURATEC 2.3 (Registered)

Progress has been slow over the last month but I promise I will get something together in the next couple of weeks. I had a few issues with the alternator but that has been sorted now.

My tuner has reported that it has 113kw/151.54bhp at the rear wheels and he is very impressed with the power this engine puts out in NA form.

He just thinks the World Cup Crossmember puts to much vibration through the chassis. We will see how it goes when I get it registered.

There are ways of reducing the vibration by changing the rubber material in the World Cup Crossmember to something softer.

    Looking good. Maybe you could try rubber mounts instead of the polyurethane...

    I got some more news from my tuner today which I will share with you. Some good and some bad.

    The Good
    The VCT is not working yet so more horsepower to come. Most likely will see 170bhp at the wheels.

    The Bad
    Because the VCT is not working and I could not control my alternator from the PMW outputs I may have killed all PMW outputs in the ECU when I connected the Alternator up without control and spiked my electricals on it first start.

    So I am going to get the ECU checked out by Haltech next week. Then check my VCT wiring.

    No need to control the Alternator now, it has been modified with and internal regulator.

    There are a few sump leaks to fix aswell, which is an engine out job but I will fix that after I get her registered. With the engine out I can also sort the engine rubber mounts.

    man that looks soo clean, and like a real sleeper

    you should steal the ".3" from a 1.3 badge and mate it to the 2.0 badge

    Looking good Bill, top marks. Very neat, good power at relatively low revs. All round good package and more power to come.

    Good work
