blown V6 mk3 cortina estate (update 01/4/07)

wont be long mark believe me......KABLAMO

2.9 superchaged cologne V6 awesome! what power do you expect?

Lot's

Looks like it's going to be an awesome motor... I have a thing for shiny supercharger bits sticking out of bonnets.. must be the cobra v8 midpage poster pullout from Street machine that I had on the wall above my bed when I was a teenager..

/drools

as long as it's alot better than the last time i used that blower i'll be happy ;Dwhen i first fitted it to my old mk3 2 door it came with the wrong pulleys and produced more vacume than boost that coupled with the fact the engine it was attached to had covered 270k and was bone stock and well past its best it produced just 40 bhp ;D ;D it now has a new pulley set up for 10psi of boost and the engine will be a low comp fully rebuilt unit so should be good for a fair bit more than a stock 2.9

I just had this image of you standing in the workshop with all your mates around the car in readiness for that first fire up of your new blown engine...just before the key is turned someone says 'let's fire this sucker up' not knowing (at the time) that what they were actually about to be 100% correct! ;D

Blue Cobra, I remember it well. I think it got flipped.

Nice engine by the way...

thank mate and welcome to the mad house

stripped a bit more of it down today the front wings were only patched up for last year althouigh they still looked ok they were showing signs of rot comming back through so they will be being replaced same goes for the front valence once stripped i did find a few small jobs that need doing there are a couple of bits in the corners of the engine bay behind the head lights usual thing for a corty but remarkable good considaring the car has never had any work other than the quick paint last year i also found a small section behind the front wings at the front of the scuttle panel the scuttles do rot on the cortinas but normaly on the top just below the screen not seen on go at the front before and may explain the water leak i've been having into the foot well ;D other than that there is a small section of the drivers side sill at the rear that needs replacing so i'm very happy with that all being well all the welding and bodywork shopuld be done and ready for paint by next weekend

Don't hang around do you? Good progress!
