spec looks serious! will it run race fuel with that comp?! should go very well! Depending on turbo fitted and the driveability/reliability needed for racing i'd imagine it's gotta be capable of 800+ then detuned to 750 for week in, week out - prob 30 hp less if pump fuel.

Its going to be very similar to mine in terms of stroke etc but i need to know the size of the turbo to be accurate??

I bet you will be using the same spec crank and rods as me?how tall is the block?

Are you running bigger valves ?

Any thing over 700 hp and 600 lb ft on pump will be awesome but its all down to the turbo size..

Id also prefer siemens or some funky big bosch along with a more up to date ecu too but tbf all of what he has there is still up too the job so why spend even more cash?

We have used greys for years, they are reliable, and you can clean them should any be slightly out. New siemens injectors you cant clean so scraps a set as soon as they fall out of balance which I've seen a little bit of with Siemens.

Well thats just silly !!lol..

The turbo is the main factor here..if its say t04z size for example then id say 707 hp and 612 lb ft

If its bigger then il say 754 hp and 590 lbft

specifications looks serious! will it run competition petrol with that comp?! should go very well! Based on turbo compressor fixed and the drive ability/reliability required for rushing i'd think about it's have to be able of 800+ then detained to 750 for weeks time in, weeks time out - prob 30 hp less if push petrol.

Hi Doug

You obviously didnt read the entry on my web site either

All entries were meant to send a pic of their car over and was going to do my number on the roof made up of all of them




Being there has not been that many, it may be difficult lol

But to those who have entered, thank you very much, and you have a massive chance of winning
