Default So what after stage 3...

For future plans... my present spec Greens, t34 .63, Group A head gasket (611), Group A fuel pump, P8 Ahmed chip and pectel board, Magnex Exhaust.
So whats next?

Light blues? Cams? 500cooler? At what stage is head work and low comp needed

What other areas can I gain from.. lightened flywheel?


Cheers

think around 350-400bhp you really need to be thinking of head/low comp treatment paul!?

i suggest you invest in a decent cooling system to start then maybe do a engine build on a second engine!? thats what i'm gonna do..

also maybe upgrade the fuel system as in electrics aswell as maybe doing something similar to what i am doing by using a bosch 023 to feed a swirl pot then run a bosch 044 to the rail with a pressure reg in situ to allow you to run what you need to

or just ignore me

Silly question but can you go low comp without a full bottom end re-build?

need to machine the pistons for low comp or buy some done Paul.

Will be better going for a bigger intercooler and a steel head gasket then go for grey injectors and more boost.

the T34 will be ok for the greys.

could go for a paddle clutch then to help cope with the improvements.

Lightened flywheel....

think its better the way it is with having 4x4 running gear,the standard flywheel is better to cope with the needs of the 4x4 system.

Good Breather, uprated pump, Greys or ideally larger, live map with closed loop, 34psi spike and 28psiheld for as long as the turbo can hold it.

The best conversion for the YB IMO.

On a standard block Stu or lowered compression?

Which pump is needed?
What size injectors are better then greys???

Geert,

i would say standard comp engine.

Standard gasket...no, need at least a gp.A one but idealy a metal layer gasket.

pump...003 or a 023.

don't know the last one, maybe 750's or 1000cc ones.

i'm sure Stu will post up though.
