400 -> 500hp recommendations ??
Easy peeps,
If I had a SCS 420hp lump which had done roughly 15,000 miles (not tired, rattley or smokey in anyway & still pulls as strongly today as it did when first built) on a T34 (.55 exh), ice blue's on L8. Propa pukka engine.
This engine was built before GT30's/35's & aftermarket management made it's presence known in the Cossie world.
How hard would it be to up the power to 500hp, what would have to be done, who would you recommend to do the work & roughly how much would it cost ??
Thanks in advance.

Easy Chip, it's got a nicely flowed head on already as was the norm for Harvey's 400+ engines so I would of thought that would be okay ??

just done this on my escort, all depends how you want to do it but i went down the gt30/63, t2 ecu and loom, 4 injectors, 2 wd manifold, external waste gate, different exhaust cam, uprated fuel system plus a few other bits and then on the dyno, to do it right will cost a few quid but well worth it in the end
