    Engine bits!

    Hello,

    well now I'm officially collecting bits for a future upgrade, I'm asking for a bit of advice

    Here's my dilemma:

    As I have a 3B, it'd require bearings being changed so it might be worth getting rods changed at the same time to be 'on the safe side', and eliminate the need to be so conservative with the torque on a remap. However, from my searching, it looks as if the engine has to be rebalanced when the rods are replaced. Is this the case, and if so what costs roughly are involved? Seems like a logistical nightmare unless your local rebalancing shop is next door to the tuning shop... if it was gonna be too much I'd just take the conservative remap and get the project done this side of 2007. And save a clutch/gearbox 'upgrade' being needed within weeks

    Also, any German speakers that can give some advice for ebay.de listings? I see that there's a few RS2 EM's (Abgaskrümmer) going, but I'd be weary that somewhere inthe description it says "this is shagged and useless. for scrap only".

    Cheers

    Hi Ross.
    Been looking at the em's also but was reluctant to bid as they don't accept paypal? It's quite a bit to loose without the back up, legally, from e-bay.
    I may be being overly paranoid but just thought i'd mention it.

        Good point Russ! I'd not feel comfortable bidding without an insured payment method.. if the seller had good feedback I might be tempted though.

        Braun, I'll try and send you an email - cheers!

        Anyone got any input as per Rods + engine balancing?

        cheers,
