you will get that 240 without to much issue and higher is you want to run the boost,
its pretty similar spec to mine, are you running the P8 or dizzy or coil pack ?

what you running intercooler wise.

mines runs :
steel cvh, ported head, cam, anti pump lifters, 4x4 turbo, P8, coil pack, air-injectors, aquamist, anti-lag, NOS
grs twin pass, etc

No reason why you shouldn't get over 300 with a spec like that

I will be running dizzy to start off with then changing it to coil pack.

Bit hard to see and this was on my old engine.

But its a S1 Pace charge cooler with a S2 Radtec Cooler!




The only reason i done it was to be diffrent the highest inlet temps my collins monitor has shown was about 32c flat out on a hot day so it works very well. The engine at the time was Pushing 298bhp and 360ftlb

As for inlet im not sure what to run yet.

Jim

Sorry, but chance are I would sell the engine and ECU complete so someone can just drop the lot into their car without any fuss. I'll bear you in mind though

Thanks for the kind words. I might do something with it one day, it's just such a waste of money

I saw it a few weeks ago though and I did miss it..... a bit.

As long as the head flows the air, it should definately be knocking on for 270-280bhp (assuming large enough fuel injectors/fuel flow and reasonable air charge temps)...
