hi there people im new to the cossie form just wondering if anyone one is running 650+bhp if so have you had any major problems running that sort of power and if i was going to get that sort of power am i better of rebuilding the engine before putting the up grades on.

 

I think its more than a quick engine rebuild to get this spec, and all the extras for the car needed adds up as well, if you are serious about it and have a lot of spare cash get in touch with a tuner who can advise you,

 

i know it would take more than a engine rebuild thanks for your input do you have any tuners in mind like abc motorsport etc

 

MA Developments,Karl Norris,Motorsport Developments.

 

KSA-Cossie
thanks for that ill give them a look up

 

Karl Norris NMS........A1 rally sport

 

Mr smith, manager from northern rock loans

 

and that would just be for the box, brakes, diff

 

Your welcome m8.

 

gonna need a proper gearbox to handle that!!

personally i'd go and see martin @ reyland as he can do the gearbox
too (think he sells the skyline conversion now not jsut testing still?)

 

all i need to do now is get a few prices

 

Make sure your sitting down mate

 

i will be lol it will give me some idear how much i need to still save up youv all been a great help THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO YOU ALL

 

budget for £20k all in i reckon, plus a 650bhp engine will not last 100k miles either, be lucky to see 20k trouble free.

 

May i just ask? is this going to be your first cosworth? if so, why do you want such huge power straight off?

 

yea it will be my first sierra cosworth why do i want big power i love power i was in a cosworth with 500bhp that was amazing i think its time i had a little up grade sins im my current car im running 210+ or something like that need to get it on a rolling road to see anyway im getting off the point i want that kind of power because i will be sorted for a while and always wanted a sierra cosworth sins i was young iv got the money for it now so i might as well get it (a sierra cosworth is not just for the weekends its 4 life)

i know that may sound f**k up but some of you may know were im coming from i say sorry for any of thats

 

Fair play to you mate if its your goal i wish you all the best keep us all informed

 

I doubt you would see 20k miles mart. and i would of thought 30k needed. aint that skyline box from reyland something like 12k

 

if your serious mate why not try CARWISE UK there based in york, iv heard good comments about em . my car is there at the mo .the saff they have as a demo car is something like 700 bhp

 

15k for engine
1.2k for all singing T5
1.5k for rear diff
1.5k front brakes
1k wheels and good tyres

all prices are approx but you get the idea

Lottery win

 

burton power do a complete engine turbo every thing 800bhp price is a stagering 18k

 

if you could get 800bhp for 18k there would be a lot more big power cars out there.dont know where you read that but the parts alone would cost more than that.

 

800bhp for 18k bollocks.

200 block-£700
The block would have to be linered-£1500
The crank would have to be billet steel £1300+
The con rods H section-£700+
Forged pistons £700+
Stupid head, cams etc-£2000+
Tubular manifold £1200
1000cc injectors-£350
Inlet manifold- £300-£3000
Turbo-£2000
Management+mapping-£2000+
Machining etc.


You get the idea this is what they charge the public and theres a lot lot more than that they are just the main things.

If Burton do 800bhp engines for 18k I will have one tommorow.

As for 650bhp then you could get away with standard shot peened rods, standard crank, forged pistons, ported head, 509 cams/bd16's, 2wd manifold, a holset hx50 turbo, 1000cc injectors, Mike Rainbird inlet swedish, etc wouldn't cost that much.

I would personally go to NMS or Reyland.

 

I would speak to everyone that the other guys have mentioned, the more advice the better...

If your going to undertake a series project like 600bhp+ then its best to speak to the best in the business.
However if you want something a bit less delicate then a less powerfull cosworth would still leave you with a big grin on your face.

 

cossie cris

sounds advice there mate.
