Because I want the scope in there to go bigger power in the future mate..

 

Arr, got ya

 

Tbh with you... untill I've sorted a beam out and a diff... 400 is really pushing the car... It feels better when there all sorted then ill up the power... But I see so many with big numbers that is mulla through the bends now.. As I fully use every ounce of that 400bhp..

 

Just build two engines and you can swap them depending on your mood

 

That's defo good planning Mat, makes me giggle when folks stay on stock brakes too

 

Totally agree ... Anyone else that says there fine at 400 on standard brakes arnt pushing them hard enough ...only drove mine back from mapping and there was on fire... Off to the bin they went and AP's ordered..

 

There's one going into the old scs escos at the moment. I imagine a few of the rally boys have bought them aswell

 

But if he builds a good bottom end with good pistons with pockets. If he wants cams etc its just a case of fit cams and big turbo and wahey big power

 

That was a reply to petes post at bottom of first page btw

 

Exactly... What pistons and rods would you use mate..?

 

Unless you want 550+ then standards will do.

Matt Lewis sells wiseco's that have pockets in which is what I'll be using. And are standard comp. fit rods by all means but that's an extra Ł500 or so maybe.

My stage 3 spec will be long studded with wiseco's

Or the are CP pistons too.

 

Mat wants boooooooooost lol

 

Mat,well said,it's nice to see somebody who is happy with the way the car performs,I think as I have said many times in the past your spec must be awesome and lag free,perfect road car set up in my opinion.
A lot of owners spend big bucks,go big power and few have said it spoils the drivability of the car and takes the fun factor away,not to many have admitted this though,well not openly anyway.
I know you love the way your car performs,stick with the spec Mat.

Thanks.Lee.

 

Think I will stick rods in aswell cos then its all there for future.... Lol


Yes totally agree Lee... It's fine as it is but I want it 100% solid so that's what ill do mate ... Yea most won't admit and can't use them big numbers IMO

 

Exactly why my saff is staying on a t34.

 

Exactly drive so nice yet can be such a hooligan anywhere lol..

 

If you change your rods may as well go wrc so it will rev better plus scope for the future if you ever get power hungry

 

What's difference with WRC... I just want it to drive nice with the minerals there to go more of I ever want to

 

There longer so gives you a better rod angle so you can have a higher rev limit

 

And what would it drive like... As its only used on the road mate.

 

As it dose now but with a higher rev limit! You should go all out lol go see the Sheed and get your sell a big power no lag twin scroll set up!

 

Nah I'm fine... I don't want anymore power than 400ish yet...

Ill speak with my engine builder and see what he suggests

 

Mat, thing is as well you're busting the balls of the T34 so why not go GT3071 at less boost and make same power ( and more when needed )and good spool too

 

As James states above Sheedys twin scroll manifolds and bw turbos etc are low lag,the stuff Sheedy is doing now is light years in front of anyone else that I know of on the cossie tuning scene.Ask Dave Pritchard or Mark Hudd both have these sort of set ups now and no lag factor,I think this is the only exception to what i mentioned in my post above,with Sheedy though you would have to go with an aftermarket ecu such as Vipec or Autronics really as he doesn't map Weber ecus.A new Vipec is 3k supplied and fitted for a cossie but you can get a second hand autronics for around 1k.It's a lot of money to do the aftermarket ecu,twins scroll set up etc especially if you want to remain with the sort of power you have now.

Thanks.Lee.

 

Because I like the T34... It spools and gives me what I need.. My Maram shafted turbo as done 1400 hard miles and is fine @36psi... Unless I find a better equivalent then I'm stopping with the T34 as said above I love the car as it is now .. I just want it a lot stronger for piece if mind mate

 

Best option for your needs Mat,I think that's a sensible approach myself.

Thanks.Lee.

 

Exactly... It's perfect for my driving / hooning around .

 

Matt if you're building a bombproof bottom end to drive hard it's prob worth considering oil spray jets to help with cooling the pistons whilst you're at it old chap.

 

Best thing to do is speak to someone regarding the best motor spec for that turbo unit if thats what will stay on, using a long studded 200 block, pocketed 4x4 pistons, WRC H/G and a spec'd head and a nice cam mix is going to be more than enough

 

Here is the road to wallet ruin Matt just leave as it is man and just use the twat

 

Will look into this guys cheers

 

Thats pretty good info actually, i'm glad i did mine but i don't think i would again as i can't justify the cost

 

Jay I know exactly what your saying mate .... But I've got to do it ....the engines the only thing that hangs over my head ... So I'm going to build a solid one and keep the power safe

 

Everyone on pf trying to convince Matt otherwise. IMO he's doing right thing. It's exactly what I'm doing with mine, bombproof (hopefully) stage 3+. It's the best they can be. Maybe lighten flywheel a little and make it a bit more revvy but loose torque. That's where I'm at at the moment. Don't want to compromise too much torque.

 

This is one of the reasons why won't buy another Chris , I'd be oh I have another cossie stage3 how cool then the devil makes work for idle hands and before you could say jays a cunt I'd be 10k into it wondering what the fuck I was doing there again lol

 

I understand mate but just don't sell the original motor

 

No original is stopping with the rest of all my original bits mate ....that too will get a rebuild in future

 

"bombproof" with you behind the wheel....... pull the other one

 

The block ill be getting is a std bore Rs500 race block...small core plug etc.

 

I know what you mean,I won't be doing one again to the spec of my last one,as you say just can't justify the cost,plus I will only go and sell it 5 mins later..lol.

I know exactly where your coming from,this is why I don't think I will be having another one when I sell the one I have now.
