Really want a punchy road spec on the new engine i got for a bargain, infact the engine is built for more but i just think i will stick to relliable and fooking responsive.

Hows this sound

Freshly rebuilt and unused
200 Block with Race Bearings, High pressure pump, 8:1 ARP studs and Rod Bolts, weight matched rods and balanced
WRC Gasket (already got one so use it)
4x4 Head Full port and polish with standard cams (already has new iskys fitted)
Port matched inlet and Exhaust
Roller Bearing T34.55
Live Map from Stu

Already on coilpacks and closed loop on P8, Siemens Blacks on current engine

I think that would make good solid power and kind of bullet proof at that power level, i have a .63 and did consider a T38 but to be honest i think a solid drivable, low lag 380 bhp would be a great road car

Im not a number chaser

What you reckon, also would you still use standard inlet, as when i was going .63 on a T34 was gonna move to BD14

 

me and trevcoss both suffered surge with std 4x4 plenums on t34s

but if stus mapping it live he could sort it.....

 

i''m going for a similar spec minus the 200 block, and i'm hoping for 370bhp, providing i can get my hands on a t34.55

if you want to sell the t34.55 let me know!?

 

Im keeping the 55 hence the .63 is for sale.


I think 370-380 is possible talking in Stu, im trying to make it as responsive as possible, thats why the roller bearing and head work.

The money i save can go on adjustable rear beams and TCAs and other handling improvements

 

think 370 should be fairly easy with your spec

 

I just mapped a Small turbo escort with T34 2.3bar peak dropping to 1.8 no surge.

what you reckon on the spec, would you just use standard cams

 

only occured on ours after 30psi mark, but were off the shelf chips,sure it could have been sorted live..
swedish plenums cured it though

 

It all depends on the size of your valve pockets if none stock cams.
