...Rod...is Mark giving me duff info then?



Like to clear this up?..Mark?

 

Phil,
Perhaps you have CP pistons (same MAKE as Rod's), just not the same spec?

 

phil, you probably have the same spec engine as the one i've just got.

and mark said it will run a 35 quite happily, so u havent been told miss-info by mark.

When has mark even done that?

you know full well he hasnt

 

Phew...its Rod being senile

 

no your spec is nothing like rods and may not be the same as mine.

but if your head has had the appropriate work done then there is no reason for it not too.

 

..yes Rod is being senile as it aint a 400bhp engine as i beleive Rhys asked for a 550plus capable one....

Rods is obviously far higher spec never said it wasnt I merely said the pistons were the same as Rods..maybe in a previous engine?I dont know or same material/make...TBH Cossie Racing pistons are capable of that power also...so the cp's dont turn me on

 

It is always interesting to read when u guys argue about who has the most experience and knowlege in cossie engines, and which one makes the most power
Why is it that every time there is an engine that isen`t that MASSIVE spec`d then it can`t produce so much power?
Almost everyone knows that it is up to head/cams/intake/exhaust/turbo if it makes big power(500+), why argue about it, let them show some results before you tare them appart

 

Not quite sure what you are on about there, i dont think there is anyone who has posted in this thread who doesnt think that MAD engine will manage 500bhp+ quite easily on the right turbo and map. (including rod )

 

Well said


...its a UK snobbery thing

 

Phils engine uses the same make pistons as Rods and materal but the machining from the blank is diff,
Phils engine will also make 550+hp with the right inlet and may get close to 600hp at 2.5bar, The only thing I would like to change is the Rods for safety.

Mark

 

Thanks for clearing that up!......I am not too concerned at the Rods as Julian Godfrey says 600bhp is ok..after this they need shot peening..in his experience at power levels over 700bhp he has never seen one let go..BUT in his own engines they are changed to higher spec..which is understandable if you have to warranty it!..Make everything as strong as poss....

So hopefully they will hold out on a road car....

 

nick lewis engine was using standard rods on his 632 bhp engine so phil may be right for a change

 

Just dont tell anyone what ecu its running

 

i would never say it was a S8 simon will see how mine goes soon

 

for a change ...you diss me you dissing pro's as thats where my info comes from.

 

pmsl

 

so you recon 600BHP is possible phil , what sort of torque is that going to produce?

 

It's Phil, so expect LOTS of talk

 

im actually saying your right you numpty not dissing the pro,s god forbid that

 

i also no enough pro,s to no wots right or wrong

 

So do you get them to walk on you with their high heals and stuff an orange in your mouth - or is that just wrong?

Oh sorry, you meant tuners .

 

Mike,

you are the one thats wrong for suggesting that

 

that brings some wierd pictures in my head dont no if thats good or not mike oh well wotever floats my boat

 

wots your problem rich cant you imagine sheady in high heels

 

high heals and his cardigan rofl

 

Nothing wrong with that at ALL! standard parts are awesome and very very very strong

But mine and Chips point is that yours is NOT a massive spec engine like you claimed in anyone other than your own eyes!

Is it a good spec? yes definately
