I have a set of eagle rods here if u want to buy them 260 delivered.

 

For your injectors it depends on how much power you are after.

I have got a set of Bosch dark greens only done 1000 miles since new, they will take you to around 330bhp.

Management I would recomend Gotech as it does everything you will ever need plus it has Data logging. Very easy to fit only took a couple of hours to put in on mine.

i have a set of greys if interested





o and a magnex

 

this is just ideas i have for the new year folks..

but as you know its xmas & everybody is skint including me

 

i need to read properly

 

how much??

 

i would get some rc injectors and go for omex 600 and a new loom
what turbo you thinking of

 

all dependant on howmuch money you have to spend and the hp your wanting? tell us that and we might be able to spec accordingly

bassboy

 

A good intercooler and 17psi from a good turbo should see 200bhp and more than see your mates scooby off... tried and tested (wrx obviously).

If thats all you want to do

 

theres not realy a budget...we'll say around 6k realy & havent realy got an idea of bhp either...around 300 maybe?

 

Our YB Cosworth cams retail at £300 a pair + VAT not £550 like other Kent based camshaft companys.

NEWMAN CAMS

 

the 1.8 zvh brian fletcher built me was good enough to see off a rb 5 impreza...my spec is stg2 hybrid,chip,5th inj,285t2 piper cam,grs 'cooler,stainless exhaust,kand n..etc.but the guy on here sas whos answered further up on your post can do gotech fitted and mapped for a good price and he is located in pitlochary a couple of hours down the road from you!!!! did you get offshore on wed. or did you spend the night in lerwick? i got bumped at 11 am yesterday..

 

I would personally reccomend Weber Marelli (Cosworth) Management management as not only has this system been proven but it has a great relsale value, many peoples reasoning behind not using this system is apparently cost, however this is relected in the value when selling on.
The Weber Marelli (Cosworth) Management system is exceptionally easy to map and can be done so by a wide number of tuners across the UK unlike other systems.
