What power should I have with this spec?

What kind of inlet and exhaust manifold do you have?
Check your fuel pumps/battery/ignition voltage!
Your injectors will work fine upto 400hp
One good move is to install a BD14 inlet camshaft

Hi MADMAXPTT,
I have standard inlet and standard exhaust manifold
Pumps/battery/ignition voltage is 13.3V after the rewire....at idle......haven't tested under load
Head work and BD14 or a BD10 would probably be my next modification indeed.....
Need to get it live mapped properly first though which means a ferry and a whole latta cash
January 2014 I'm aiming for.
Thanks for the reply.
Cheers,
Philip.

Over the years I've found that the knowledge base needed to spec and build these engines resides in the Uk.
Have spent/lost a lot of money getting engines built here although that may have changed since I started getting all engine work done across the pond.
A few good builders that I and others recommend are Harvey at Scs, Stu at Msd and mark at sheads .
Myself and my buddies have been using Harvey for years with exceptional service and quality builds.Personnaly I wouldn't spec an engine for over 400/500brake for Ireland as we don't have a track to suit that power/delivery and it's deformed a compromise on our point and squirt back roads.
Anti-lag btw will cost as Marum shafted turbo needed unless your changing monthly.....lol
Afaik Maxol are the only company in Ireland upto date with the new 2015 fuel regs which dictates 5/10% ethanol in their unleaded which equates to @ 99 Ron.(similar to uk high Ron fuels).If I'm ever caught without Maxol I disconnect Amal valve and run safely with 9psi @95ron...

Rob.Great info there, thanks. My engine was built by a reputable Cossie man. He has built loads and it's all good so far. I know the expertise and knowledge lies over the pond....been looking at the mags and net for years. I heard it was different before, i.e. late 80's early 90's when they were plentiful enough over here and people actually had a genuine interest. It's dead in the water as far as I can see, a dying breed if you will. It's all Jap stuff now, it gets a tad annoying at times but doesn't matter either way.
There are still enthusiasts of course, just not as many as I would have hoped for. Even facilities, rolling roads, spare parts, clubs, tracks etc etc etc are not plentiful in this country.....never mind the fuel!! Only one God damn place, Maxol!! lol
I always get fuel there. If not, I have 4 or 5 cans of octane booster in the boot at all times.....it's piss poor enough anyway in my opinion.
I can't afford a rebuild and don't need one as of yet so next time it will be done in the UK. For now I will get it properly remapped in the UK.....ASAP!
I guess I can probably forget about the AL and LC for now!....not too bothered about it really.
Cheers for the tips anyway and when I get it remapped I'll post the results......if any!
Cheers,
Philip.

if you have a 4wd inlet you can simply install an inlet spacer from MSD. (it releases some more power at high rpm)
4wd exhaust manifold is too short, I know that it flows better than 2wd item and reduces turbo lag but after 5000 rpm you feel like it doesn't have any power.
If it is possible install a 2wd exhaust manifold to release some more horses at high rpm
If you want to peak 400hp you do not need to raise your boost to 2 bar to achieve it, with a T34.63 you can reach this power at 1,6 bar.
High boost pressures produce high temps and stress to your engine and if you work T34.63 at 2 bar you will have to rebuilt it every 3-4 months (you can raise pressure at 2 bar at mid range and reduce it to 1.5 at rev limiter)

i would throw away the octane booster phil .if i ever ran short i would only put enough in to get me to a maxol station and drive off boost.make sure wherever you map it that you have enough petrol with you so it can be mapped on irish fuel mate,then you know it is mapped how you will need it 
on the 34.63 i would keep my bhp at the 380bhp mark to give a bit of headroom on your afr,s,that extra 20bhp can be the difference between melted piston and a good reliable engine .

Good thinking there and thanks for the tip, I'll fill her up to her tits in Dublin, ferry on over and get her live mapped....better bring a jerry can full as well 
2(3) quick questions for anyone who can help if you please
Do I NEED to remap the car after fitting the new inlet? (is it necessary or just to optimise performance?)
Do I NEED to remap the car after fitting the AB07?
Cheers guys for all the advice
