What turbo etc you thinking of using??
cheers danny
Thanks for the replys everyone, we have already got mahles in with valve cut outs but think they may be damaged due to my mate going warpe speed and the timing belt coming off (tensioner failure) bent all 16 valves and the pistons dont look to clever.
Going to get them sent to harvey for a check see what he thinks.
The rest of the spec is
200 block .5 oversize bore
all lightend and balanced bottom end with arp bolts
standard comp mahles with valve cut outs (if still ok)
ported and polished head
bd 14 inlet
bd 10 exh
vernier pulleys
gt 30 turbo internal wastegate
2wd manifold
sweedish inlet with spacer
83lb siemens
coil pack
launch control + anti-lag
closed loop
500 cooler
alloy rad
turbo cooler
oil cooler
pas cooler
Cant remember any more, was booked into motorsport developments on sat for live map but not going now just back to bits AGAIN
