How can you identify a turkish block? The engine with turkish blocks that have failed have had huge torque and power! In the real world with people like me on a tight budget,i dont think we would have a problem as we wont be getting these figures,my aim is 500hp,then il be happy.
its been off the clock a few times so has been tested pretty hard.

Sorry, was going to reply to your earlier question, but you've asked again before I got a chance!

Happily retired
Running up to 500bhp should be OK i guess. MADAde is running 600+ on a 99 but his was an old Block which had many heat cycles before big Power & appears OK, both the blocks that failed at MAD were new.

It seems to be the luck of the draw with the 99 blocks, Porkies engine was based on a new 99 block and did ages at 600hp before the GT30 was fitted and is still going strong to this day.
Several of my customers cars have them too, one of which is on 91.75 bore and he uses it very hard with no signs of trouble yet. I have never had any problems with them myself but that's not to say it can't happen.

Drives superb on the road, savage acceleration, already blown the diff, and the gear box on last legs, both Quaife items, only done circa 1500 road miles since fitting in car!
My block had done around 10k miles and numerous 180mph+ runs, before being Nikasil linered (after last failure at '06 Daddy Thrash).
Watch this space!

If you are running your original block I don't think you have anything to worry about.
The 'Turkish' blocks seem only to have come to prominance in the last couple of years where people have purchased them to build a new ''stronger'' engine, at a time when new 200 blocks became hard to find, and pushed them to more than double the power that Cosworth planned for them to produce.
