what should i do guys.....
ive got a rolling shell but with a engine in bits ready for a rebuild....
do i get it rebuilt if so how much would that cost for a good rebuild????
get one allready rebuilt slightly tuned with low miles???
or get a zvh engine and if so which one is the best and what would i need to do to fit one
also has anyone on here ever owned it.....H407 TUA

 

so i take it no one knows the best route for me to go with my engine then???

 

depends wat you want it for mate big power or useable toy

 

useable toy mate 200 bhp and reliabilty really...budget of about 1500

cheers buddy but ive got a complete engine allready. its out the car stripped ready for a rebuild,but wanting to know if its worth rebuilding or buying one allready done...

 

get in built with low comp pistons uprated bolts etc

get the turbo reconed

wanter injection and front mount

set to switch between 14 and 20 psi (if u have amal vavle)

mine makes 189bhp on 14 psi same as above sure it'll make 200 on 20 psi

the water injection will keep it "safer" but its still risky running high boost but you get all that for 1500

prob is idealy u want uprate pistons, rods, pins, skimmed ploished balance crank, new water and oil pumps big valve head high lift cam, t34 and efi managmnet but thats gonna be about 6k built mapped but will easy give reliable 200+ bhp

 

hi mate my olde s2 was running 191.0 bhp
it had
standard pistons and rods with arp bolts uprated oil pump
felpro head gasket and arp head bolts standard head with matched inlet and exhurst ports
cvh34 cam standard pully stage 1 turbo running 18psi and an armed bayjoo chip
and a group a cosworth coil pro alloy front mount intercoole and rad with twin kenlo fans

and a set up ever now and again and the car never gave me a problem love thgat car should never of sold it

bhp up
