Hi guys. Trying to decide if it would be better for me to break my new built yb engine or sell complete. Want to get as much back as I can really.

Any advice most appreciated. Cheers.

 

Break if you want as much as you can back

 

What spec is it mate ??

 

New 0.5 oversize mahle pistons
16 new tappets
Hd thrust washer set
Niel roper head porting good for 500+
Arp head stud kit
Arp Conrod set
Arp flywheel set
New small end bushes
0.25 big end bearings acl race.
0.25 main bearing set
Group a head gasket
New bottom end set
16 exhaust to head studs
16 exhaust nuts
Aux shaft bearing
Timing belt tensioner
Group a Cambelt
New water pump
Motorsport leads
Bd 14 & bd 8 cams
Vernier pulleys
Siemens 83lb injectors
Brand new t38 turbo
4x4 inlet with 12mm spacer.

All original engine bits painted and freshened up.

Think that's about it. All brand new items from Matt Lewis. Not even run yet.

 

What sort of power will that run mate ?? Any idea on a price ?

 

I was aiming in the region of a comfortable 450 but may do more. The engine alone owes me 5k ish without the original engine i started with so that's what I would want or i would break it.

 

decent spec , neil roper does a tidy head,


should do 430-450 id say depending on boost

 

Can I ask why you are not using it in your car? You have built a cracking engine by the description of it and I presume you have a 3 door which it will go in?

 

Because he's breaking the whole car

 

Sounds like a good spec engine. Only thing I would do is take out the ARP head stud kit and just fit normal bolts.

ARP's have been known to cause the block to crack

 

Fair enough. I would think someone will want to buy the complete engine.

 

been there still got the cracked 205 block.

what block Rich? A good 200 block is 700 notes all day long

 

Sorry guys it has standard head bolts not ARP ones. I was reading spec from original quote from Matt lewis but then was advised the arp kit was toilet.

The block is a 205.

 

Thats good mate. Hope you get what you want.
