Evening!
Ok so having my saph around 4 months i've already covered about 1500+ miles in it 90% trouble free other than having to replace the rad.
Now i'd like to go down the tuning route. The car is 95% standard, minus a OMP exhaust system and a dump valve (already on the car when i bought it).
The car has covered 103k, the engine doesn't smoke, no knocks or bangs etc however there's no receipt of a rebuild, but looking at the engine, all visible gaskets appear to be new. I know this doesn't mean anything.
Anyway, i've saved up around £3,000 to put into the engine, i DON'T want anything stupid as its only going to be used on the road.
I've approached Norris Motorsport and Reyland whom both seem reluctant to take my money, i assume they are upto their neck in work?
I'd ideally like around 300 - 350bhp. Is this a safe figure? I don't want to be replacing gearboxes and diff's every week.
I've compiled a list of items i think will be covered in my budget?
T-34 Turbo
803's
Uprated clutch (unsure of type?)
Uprated engine mounts
Grp. A head gasket
RS500 style cooler
Cambelt kit
3 bar map sensor
chip / RR setup
Any advice on what i can get for 3k would be appreciated. I have the cash and car sat here so its all go my end.
