Power slams in at 3.5 ish, now i dont run the high boost anymore because im iffy on the longevity of the rods and piston not to mention the turbo.
But id like to hear opinions on this so discuss away lads
Well the car was 230bhp spec when Andy had it. The 7.8:1 pistons and standard rods where specced at that power so they will be fine.
My engine was specced for 300 bhp and was going to have 7.8:1 pistons fitted.
Ive spoken to stu abpout the build, done a bit of research before and after buying the car and hes built a few at that comp ratio running up to 28 odd psi so im pretty confident in it, but since the vac hose on the 5th injector poped it aint been up high till i could get a hold of a fitting guide
Been toying with EFI though ut im getting the shell restored in a while once the funds are together so i can a good few rot less years out of her, she a beauty!
