After having constant head gasket issues for 12 months i decided to do a build on the car, i was going to do ti all myself but due to moving house and having spent 8 months on the RS1600i i decided to hand it over to Reyland to do for me,

at first i was going to leave the car as it was bt then the slippery slope began and thisis how the car has ended up,

(in the pics thecar still needs cleaning and polishing, 3 months of dust has dulled it up)


new spec

YBP small turbo 200 block, uprated oil spray jets,
high pressure oil pump, long studded,
WRC head gasket, Genuine cosworth mahle pistons,
touring car spec head, BD16 inlet cam, BD14 Exhaust cam,
mountune vernier pulleys, 7.46 CR
big wing sump
2wd cosworth exhaust manifold modified for external wastegate,
gt30 roller bearing turbo, screamer pipe,
83lb injectors, modified inlet manifold,

also now have full quaife gearbox, front and rear diffs
AP 362mm 6 pots on the front and a 300mm conversion on the rear

and thats it, live mapped by Karl Norris, est power 550BHP

 

Best change the stage 3 bit in your sig then m8

 

i need new pics first kev!! lol

 

Fookin awesome btw .

 

Looks an excellent all round package mate - wouldn't mind a spin out next time its down at meercat

 

Andy, pop down to the Cheshire meet wednesday, wouldnt mind seeing how it goes to give a bench mark for how mine will be!!

take it thats a GT3076 - .82 housing?

awesome spec mate, cant beat a bit of Reyland power




also:

are you not running solid lifters etc, where has the rev limit been set at mate?

 

kelv, i will fly down to the meet

its a 63 housing on the turbo i think, rev limit wise, its over 7k, will let you tell me on the the secs whe i drive

 

Good stuff

 

ah ha, the slightly smaller housing, will come on full chat awesomely quickly and with bags full of torque.

same turbo housing that doug is now running on.

i think 550bhp may be optomistic, but 520bhp should be realistic, not knocking it mate, just ive had the convo's with Martoon myself.

thats going to be an awesome drivers car, and i bet the smile will stay on your face for some time


my rev limit is up towards 8300rpm

 

nice spec Andy looks mint mate well done what sort of boost are you running and may i ask what exhaust system you have?

Cool car mate Love the whole package, The colour and the fact its a Monte!! the whole lot

 

awesome... cant wait to get mine done now

 

ok so now im jealous! everyone is getting reyland engines

tbh andy im not normally a fan of the colour(find it girlie normally)but i really like yours and radmans for some reason.im normally a hard looking car fan rather than pretty but yours and his do sneak in to my like list

as for the engine,well the name says it all.it can only be the bollox bud.wouldnt mind a good look over her at a show.and maybe i'll get some better pics this year

 

very nice

 

Went in this today and although a short journey due to Andy running on fumes! ( tight sod LOL ) it is balisticly quick!

Cant wait to get it on an open duel carrage way! ( make sure you've a full tank next time!!LOL )

 

i shouldnt think he's any money left for petrol now after all that lot

 

awesome mate

 

just fuck off ... I'm trying to stay away from the GT30 idea .... Looks a great package mate, one of my fav colours as well, stunning car

 

550 bhp from a 63 ? didnt think you could get a real 500 bhp from a 63 after speaking to a few tuners ? but it probley feels better on the road due to better responce, i was told about 480 bhp from a 63 and about 550 from a 82, not sure which one i am going to use yet and waiting for pauls car to be done so i can see what it makes and when it makes it and then i will make my mind up.
Nice car and what ever bhp it makes as long as you are happy with it that is all that matters

 

Love this car...Martin's done you proud Andy

 

Quality! have you had a chance to drive it much yet? what management are you syandard P8?

 

id put money on it being L8 if its a Martoon/Karl partnership!!

 

i was wondering that, just got rid of my L8 for a P8 and have a similar spec (when I get my GT30) doh!

will have to get MSD on the case I cant be fucked taking the engine out for harvey to map it........AGAIN

 

Love it Andy

 

cheers all, 550bhp is a ball park figure, but... and i quote karl norris 'feels as quick as porkies' which i think is a tad optomistic but hey, h said it, lol

and with regards to managment, P8 has gone, L8 now here

 

Very nice m8,

 

Awesome spec there Andy, the car looks as good as always mate, all these 500+ bhp motors about is making me very hungry for more you twats! ha ha. (love them mirrors by the way mate, where did you get them?) ha ha, Mark

 

What Boost you running mate?

 

isnt l8 just normal saff 4x4 ecu?i thought the escort one was better equipped?

 

i thought l8 was normal saff 4x4 ecu? and i was under the assumption that thep8 escort was was superior?

 

Neil, youve only got to look at what Stu @ MSD has achieved with the L8 of late to see why its becoming a preffered ECU over the P8.

my car had been on L8 for almost 4 years, did away with the P8 at quite an early stage.

Karl's mapping ability with the L8 makes the ECU a more than worthwhile and competent ECU to use on Martoons engines (and any other builders engines aswell)

For me, the L8 will cover the same requirements that i need as a Ł2k Autronic or Pectel ECU can cover, without the aditional costs.


it wins hands down

 

bollox wish i knew that before i sold that spare one i had.probaly wouldve pulled more

 

the P8 is a better ECU however not everyone can LIVE map them dude to software limitations (think its just MSD and Turbo systems) where as the L8 most can.

Now the L8 can run antilag, closed loop, coil packs etc there is not much to separate them with the L8 winning on the convenience of live mapping

 

Nice spec Andy, I'll scrounge a ride on weds

 

looking awesome mate

 

ive had them long eough, about time i pulled my finger out, cheers

i have a 2 bar defi and it goes just over it so i estmaie 30 psi

yeah mate, i had problems with P8 so ive sodded it of

dave, i will think about it mate

If and when I get a cossie, Its having L8

 

Looks awesome Andy

 

looks great mate well done

 

I hope the transmission lasts, as the Quaife will struggle with anything over 430bhp .

To see what power it will have at 2 bar, just check out the compressor map for a rough idea .

is anti lag and launch the only real benefits then?i wouldnt want that anyway.but it does make the l8 worth more ifits what people are after
