can people post there spec up if you have around 430-460 bhp and what boost cheers!

 

be curious to know this as im going to sart building a 450 brake motor very soon ?

 

T4, greys...2 bar 430

now changed.

 

to what Dave?

 

long studded block,polished and ported head,siemens black injectors.

has to go back in to get a fuel swirl pot, 044 pump,areoquip fuel line and a new fuel loom fitted so it can have enough fuel, going for a water injection kit to be fitted too.

will be going into NMS on Saturday for a few days/week so then it can be fully mapped to its full potential,not running low boost anymore.

 

what camshafts do people recommend for 450bhp im thinking bd14s i already have t4 going o get cosworth racing pistons i think

 

No standard engine anymore then!

 

Euan, its not mate.lol.

i have a bd14 inlet and a standard exhaust cam in mine also.

 

I drove an NMS 4x4 saff which was about 420-430bhp - fastest thing I've driven/been in to date

Awesome!

 

i have a bd14 inlet sat here

 

your bro was over mine the other night sold him my 2.9 box.
how much is the cam

 

my bro? i don't think so was one of my mates

Ł100 and its yours, hasn't been used yet!

 

get 8 injectors and a T4 rouse style like me then it will boogie

 

the van had t38 roller bearing turbo BD10 inlet & exhaust cams un-nown bottom end greys running peak 32psi holding 28psi to 7200rpm not sure of the bhp but it must be some near 400 or just over to be doinf the 1/4 in 11.5 & 0-60 in 3.2
just swaper the t38 for a t34 for a little less lag

 

low comp,gt30/28 hybrid,4x greys,big scs cams(not sure on spec yet),pocketed pistons,water injection etc etc and 32 psi = 369bhp at the moment.

still trying to find my problem at the moment. shouldbe between 430-450

 

i let you know when mines done in a couple weeks

 

im running L6, siemens, T4 ext wategate, low comp, ported head, 14/16 cams one off inlet, 535i throttle bodie, huge cooler/pipework. boost 30psi held power between 430 and 450 i think.
current setup may be for sale, i.e injectors, ECU,T4.

when you have a T4 powered car you are more likely to break the bottom end due to revving its cunt out all the time, hence mine is broken after 3 month of owning lol

when i got the car running the power it is now i had to spend more on suspension and tyres than anything else so beware...... you need to put the power down, wheelspinning in 4th at 100+mph scares punters in the passenger seat but doesnt make it any faster

im going high compression and T28/T35 havent diceded on turbo yet.

Sean.

 

do you need twin fuel pumps to get over 400 bhp ?
i am building long studed bottom end , pocketed mahle pistons , ported & polished head
.Swedish inlet with 68mm throttle body . t4 & greys & p8, with as much boost as fuel will allow .
i have only got an uprated in tank pump at mo . was hoping to acheive a reliable 400 bhp .
what do ya think ??

 

Runty176,

you on about an escort cos then...yes.

i have an uprated fuel pump and it was on the limit at 430 bhp, i now need the 044 pump aswell ad the swirl pot etc...

imo, i would go for a set of Siemens blacks instead of the greys too.

 

should be fine with a single 044, make sure you check voltage at the pump, critical it gets 14v if i remember correct.
you could go twin pumps if you got the money i guess, overkill never hurt?!

 

Sean,

runty says he has an uprated 'in tank' pump....must be an escos.

 

i need to read posts properly

 

Is head work not essential for 450 then?

 

its not esential but its very wise.

 

Im running
low comp bottom end, big valve head,mountune cams,roller T4, swedish type inlet,siemens 83's. Looking for atleast 450

 

Wont headwork affect the torque figure so I hear? And therefore the drivability?

 

my car ran 420bhp on low comp cosworth racing pistons,long studded,greys,t4,twin bd14`s and standard head on l8 and msd chip,30psi

new spec is same as above but with ported head,sweedish inlet,83lb siemens,and collins managment

hoping for more

 

.............i'd love to know what a std head will do "really"...........cos i'm at the stage of either bigger injectors and more boost.............or headwork aswell.........but how accurate are R/R's.............................cos i piss 400bhp on light blues, std head and holding less boost than it does on the road.................now that the cars running "mint"...................i'm going to have a ride upto AVA for a power run.......

 

me & some of the lads are going to XO in gatshead the end of august come along if you want

 

...................please dont bother...............the place is a fuckn joke......

 

I 100% second that!!!!!!!!!!

 

T4, Greys, 7.8:1 bottom end on dog shit Wossner pistons, CW1 inlet cam, 205 block, Mildly ported head, Port matched inlet, Rewired 044 pump, L8 live mapped by Ahmed, 31psi spike 27-28psi held.

 

dont rate the pistons then i heard the same from a few people now

 

No i think there probably made from horse shit and old baked bean tins.

 

they havent gone wrong in your engine have they?

 

i have never had problems with bottom end mine makes 560 bhp at about 7k its the transmition thats made of chocky Bugger

 

whats wrong with wossner pistons,,anybody with first hand experiance??

 

they apear to shrink causing piston slap it would seam

 

give me a phone when you go pete il fire through

 

well i said motorscope but everyone else said no
from what i can figure there are no acurate rollers anywhere
all i want is an idea of what the van has
