As above, not really a big up person BUT i want to say a massive thanks to Mark for building a great engine for my Evo.

I've used Mark on my Evo's cossies etc for 8yrs or so now so i knew it was in good hands, basically it'd had work done on it and it wasn't great to say the least.. so i took it to Mark who kindly did leak down tests, boost checks etc and to finally find after stripping the engine down from a noise we both heard to see pistons wrongly machined to different sizes, loose gudgeon (spelling) pins etc..

So i decided and said to Mark will you build me a nice new lump and of course he said yes and now i have a nice 600bhp engine, Vi- -pec and goodies to match.

Anyway, i'm waffling so i'll get on..

Mark text me about an hour ago to say it's off the Dyno and it's made 420bhp and 427ft/lb, now the good part, that's ONLY on a 80series Turbo for now and MR Cams.. which imo is fantastic as MR Cams are pretty mild to say the least, Mark sais it goes great on the road so to say i can't wait to collect it tomorrow is an understatement...

I had been considering in a few months to get a TT S209 for the car which is a stock framed Turbo that'll do 500-530bhp, BUT as mark says, this power is just great for my needs which is a road car, BUT as you lot know me, it'll probably end up having the 209 before xmas..


So thanks for letting me bore you with that, but i just wanted to say great job to get those numbers especially the torque from MR Cams..

 

Awesome

Did you go for the V44 or V88 Pete?

 

CPP rod job not do the buisness then?

Pete get an FP black on it with suitable cams and wind Kins up on MLR

 

but its not a ford

 

HeHeHeHe

 

Lot's Different issues Tim..

Lol, Kins, you gotta love him, tbh mate 420/427 will be plenty for me, that's 60bhp and nearly 70ft/lb to the car i dropped off... AND so much scope for more if needed with this engine too..

 

Nice work.

 

Nice one pete i expect a full report after your drive home & pics

 

What sort of damage was that Pete? PM if you prefer!

 

For sure Rich on that Turbo & cams...

Can't wait Carlo, i'll have to give the Anti-Lag a blast too...

 

Think it's about time you dropped by mine for a brew uncle Pete you can take me for a spin

 

Almost twice the power and torque of my 3dr

Steve

 

Mark's great, total no nonsense sort of bloke, just who you want to be building you an engine, it gets done right (eventually ) or doesnt get done at all, not all done on the cheap for maximum profit like some "tuners" out there

 

Nice Pete, should be nice and entertaining to drive!

 

Shame Pete

400/450 with equal torque in an Evo though is, lets be honest, perfect road car territiory. It will do everything very well bar topend runs.

 

Must catch-up for sure Jay..



Makes a nice change to see a thread from someone else hey big man..


Agree 100% Chip....

Defo Steve,,,,

Yes Tim, it'll be a hoot that's for sure, be great upto 120-130...

 

, sounds like a great road spec now big man, so go & rag it home

 

Mark

 

Dont belive the hype on that turbo.

Mark

 

brilliaint news pete she is going to be a beast!!!

 

you dont mess about pete lol,its going to be a bit lively

 

Cheers Doug, yes Mark said it's great on the road which is EXACTLY what i wanted mate, role on 3.30 tomorrow...

No point James, you're only here once pal...

Yes 420/430 in a car not weighing much will be fun mate, looking at the graph, from 3700 to 6.5k will be a hoot..

 

i pete your like a kid on christmas eve lol

 

Doug,

My small Turbo still managed 4bhp more than your HUGE T4..




Seriously, yes mate, can't wait to get in it..

 

great looking graph too, enjoy it pete as I feel sure you will

 

you bitch

and lots more torque then mine on the plus side i got lots more power then steves 3 door

i bet mate such a lovely evo you have matey no doubt another round of photos is due lol

 

Oh yes mate, it'll be photo time this weekend

Going to be sunny too.....

 

or at least they say its going to be sunny lol might even do abit of work to mine at the weekend

 

Where's yours at now Doug tuning wise?? going to get it live mapped etc buddy??

 

mines pretty much as she was over a year ago lol,i have fitted a good second hand exhaust on her now as the other one centre box was badly damaged so thats all sorted although ever since i fitted that she has smoked like a bitch (over fuelling)so got a coolant temp and air temp sensors to fit and will clean the iscv and she idkes badly and dont like starting from cold or hot at all but will take her to tony to sort her out,just got to save enough pennies to cover the bill or should i say to helo fund desert viper

 

I only mentioned that turbo as he mentoned standard frame. Much rather go full frame if going 600hp plus.

 

Tim,

I personally think the 209 is the only stock frame Turbo to have, well it would be for me anyway mate, yes i know the FP Range have come along away, but i'm still not convinced, i know i shouldn't think like that

 

I think the 3076HTA seems to do really well, at least under Gary's hands from what I can see.
Its all down to personal preference now I guess. So much choice out there.

FP HTA
BW EFR
S205 Range
Garrett GTX
Blouch
etc etc

 

sad news about the engine but really good news on the newly built one.

lol, you know it will be a little stop gap Pete, might aswell gone all the way the first time although the 420 will be enough.

 

Pete lovely results as said on MLR, car looked great when I was a Mark's afew weeks back. Nice setup for road use you will love the 80series on the road

Though Im sure you will be tempted with a new turbo very soon,

 

What is the price for a V44 ecu off Mark then?

 

Just don't go to far with it as to ruin it as a road car
You know many do and end up with something that's just to much for the road

Best get that police scanner jamming device fitted.

 

The price for Pete's will be different as (I imagine) his is a plug'n'play

Eta: Sorry to hear about the shoddy previous rebuild, but excellent news on the new power. I'm sure you'll have no need to up it anymore

 

pete do you need modded pistons for mr cams?

 

Lol, it'll do me nicely Dave i'm sure, off to get it now...

Cheers Rob...

Yeah i agree with that tbh, it's at a great Spec now and i'm sure it'll suprise me in the drive home...

Rich, no mate..
