Project CARBONBLOO RS2K Turbo

[rotty666]

Here's my RS2000 I've gotten carried away with last couple years.

I had intended to keep her standard lol but as always didn't happen

I've built a fair few Turbo engines now for other people and never one for myself so I've bitten the bullet and decided I need one myself but also has to be different to everyone else's so... I was looking for Holset but went for a Borgwarner K27 now with full forge engine build and Emerald K6 ECU.

Build starts tomorrow as if I wait till I have everything I'll never start it, here we go...

Yeah bud that'll be me. Maxi F2 is tucked away for another day at present as no workshop will get back on her one day.


Well with no curse word about today I wanted to make a start so outwith the angle grinder

And in with the new manifold and turbo

I have got to make a notch in the front chassis leg over hang but not a massive chore

Will remove inlet next

[rotty666]

Defo more than enough room in there for the Pulsar inlet set up even tho I've yet to try it
I removed servo and trial placed the master cylinder set up on and also rad and cooler tried up
Some fabrication to be done but nothing that's to hard at all.

The mount of people who've said the GTiR inlet won't fit in my engine bay has gotten boring so now I'm happy to say I told you so lol 



Gona be a pretty bay when done

Thanks bud should be a good crack once finished.

First few parts starting to arrive

[rotty666]

Started to rebuild front end with tubular bar as I want it all removable

Will be lots more get as will brace all coolers to it too.

[rotty666]

Managed to source the correct flange for exhaust housing as my K27 is rare external waste gate one and 6 bolt flange took some research and HX40 flange is correct one.

Also fitted turbo jacket.

Then modified the brake servo bracket for my master cylinder box not 100% happy as not sure on how the double pivoted bar will push against this yet. We'll see.

And finally today I also managed to fit the heater blower mod box to gain even more room on bulk head area.

I love this and I can't wait to see more progress!
I went and test drove an RS2000 years ago! (I must have been about 18 / 19?) It was dodgy as hell and had clearly been in an accident and badly repaired. I walked away from it but never looked at another one for some reason. I always liked the way they looked both inside and out, yours looks great! Good luck!
