ive just bought a 1.8 cvh engine but it has been rebored to a 1.9 with forged low compresion piston strenghthed cod rods and crank shaft with uprated shells it has a rs turbo port and polished head with a fast road vernier cam with pully and also running a t4 turbo i have a print out from the rolling road and it was 268 bhp running half boost. i wana put it in my xr3i cabby wat do yous recon

 

t4? That will be lag city

 

I have a 2.1 in mine and that's fine go for it matey

 

With a t4?

 

No engine with a t3

 

to be honest it hasnt really got any lag went it is at full boost the wheels just light up,it is quck as FUCK my mate has a o4 impreza wrx and it couldnt touch it and that was only running half boost. scared to run it full incase something blows lol, i have receipts adding up to just under 5k for the enigne rebuild but the guy ive bought it off has put it in a xr3i and its not running right i dont think its wired in proply and a few vacum pipes on wrong, what will i need to do to put in in my escort xr3i cabby as it is efi and the engine is mfi, fitting the engine is the easy part but the wiring im fukced lol

 

it wont have lag at full boost cossie's lag like fuck on a t4

 

so what will be best t3 , to be honest it goes like shit of a stick but it doesnt seem to run for long the turbo seems to die of staight away but i dont no if its the gearbox thats in it cant keep up with the engine, and bearing in my mind i dont no much about these cars or the turbos because im a new car person my self but he told me it is a t3 turbo with t4 internals and couldnt really find that possible, can any one give me advice on how to do my conversion

 

t3's are the usuall mate. But depending on how much coin you want to throw at it there's a few different 1's. You can get a t3 for 100-150

 

T3 Turbo with T4 internals? Hmmm. Sounds a bit fishy to me. Also, whats 'half boost'? Half of what? It's like saying 'how big is half a hole?'

Strengthened conrods? Any idea what was done to strengthen them?

I dont get what you mean when you said the turbo seems to die off? A T4 turbo on a CVH would still be making boost long after the rockers have vapourised.

 

 

i think it might be the box its running on because it just seems to limit straght away but you can tell the turbo wants more and what i mean at half boost is 13 psi at 220 bhp and 196 lbft at 5.500 rpm

 

the proof i have got is reciepts for the engine which has the block number and head and the recipets totals at Ł4934.56 from a company called specialised enignes ltd. www.specialisedengines.co.uk

 

specialisedwankers! We got an engine from them and what a fucking mess it was i ended up having to rebuild it, it was that bad. Never ever again!

 

thats is the car i bought the
engine out of and i have all
the pics of the car with the recipts when i bought it and the valuation last year was 7000k

 

valued by who mate?

 

lancaster agreed valutions 05/06/2009 agreed valuye Ł7000.00

 

That's only for insurance though mate. Not a realistic value of the car.

 

hang on from what i can make out this is still on mfi?? 260+bhp?????? god i hope there is a 5th injector

 

who recons its a standard engine with a cam a a stg 2 turbo then? lol

 

where's it say it's on mfi? I was assuming it wasnt?

 

as said

 

as said

 

i missed that, oh dear!

 

i realy wanna see pics of said engine

 

Me too!
Oh and again oh dear

 

i've just re-read it all again and it just doesnt make ANY sense at all, carl can you just clarify the spec exactly.

 

268bhp on mfi?
t4?
half boost?

Gotta be a wind up.

 

Sounds like some T34 variant to me. T3 with T4 internals gubbins.

And I think it is meant to read that this engine he has is EFi but his cabby is MFi not the actual engine running 268bhp that's EFi.

 

Thought all Cab's were efi arnt they?

 

Not 100% sure but something is EFi and something is MFi
