am I just a thicko
 

Pretty new to cossies well especially working on them and I want to freshen up the engine on my k reg 4x4 saph which I will be attempting myself. im lookinf for around 400 bhp its running a smokey 340 ish at moment.this is were im getting confused wats a p6/p8 wats coil pack conversion and closed loop and wasted spark all about do I need this for 400 hp im planning t34.63 siemens. Ported and polished head and bd cams vernier pulleys . Do I need to change chip to run siemens as on greens at moment I hope its not just me being thick wen people talj about this stuff round me I just nod and agree wen really I aint got a scobby do wat there on about -.........carl

have you ever stripped and rebuilt a engine before ?

Did my rs turbo years ago which made 240 bhp but if I get stuck my uncle builds ac cobra and gt40 replicas with fresh built engines so can always grab help if needed

engines are easy to work on, its just a pinto with a turbo

p8, l6, l8, l1 is types of weber ecu's, if your car is still fitted with the factory ecu it will be L8

wasted spark basically is a kit that does away with the distributor/rotor arm etc

closed loop basically for MPG purposes, allows you to run a lambda, but depending on your motor, you may already have a lambda

you will need to change your chip if running siemens.

you dont need any of the above other than the chip change to achieve what you want, t34.63 will make 400hp how long the turbo will last is another matter, t34.63's are really on the limit at circa 400hp, the good thing is the ported head which will help.

look on MSD's website http://shop.motorsport-developments....worth-18-c.asp

Exactly what he says, tbh general rule with them is don't aim for 400HP as a figure, 380 is alot easier figure to work with, but as said you may want to look at your choice of turbo and your long term plans (If any) as it's pointless imo going for a T34 if your going to want more power in the future, also as said your putting alot of strain on the T34 for that power.

Perhaps the GT series would be a better choice or a T38?
