Alright matey. the engine spec is basicaly the poverty spec, lol.
Im using a 3mm decompression plate and 2 headgaskets to lower the compression. The engine had been stripped, cleaned and put back together with new gaskests and seals etc. It still has the 130 XR3i cams fitted. I drilled and tapped the head myself for the ERST exhaust manifold to fit. Ive also blanked the gas recirculation on the front of the block as the turbo fouls it and ive drilled and tapped a new hole in the rear to compensate. Also fitted is a drain pipe to the sump for the turbo oil return.
So everything is basicaly standard including the turbo but it will be running beige injectors, chipped ECU, front mount cooler, uprated fuel pump, power boost valve etc.
I know its not the biggest engine spec in the world, but it will have to do for now.
