SPADGE

Anyone hazard a guess as to the kind of bhp/torque this engine would deliver? Would it be any good for a novice in a track car??
2.8 V6 Engine:Ferriday Eng. built. KS Pistons, new main & bigend bearings, new valve guides, 3 angle seats, machine polished valve stems & tips, special Kent Cam 270 profile widened lobes, competition valve springs & followers, compression ratio dropped to 8.3:1, T3 hybrid turbo, cosworth intercooler
Cheers Spadge...

what sort of boost? turbo technics ones made 200hp on a single t3 at 6psi .

Bit over 200bhp and nice and drivable with lots of low down power and not much up top, seems an OTT spec for such a poo little turbo, gonna be strangling the fuck out of it.

Should be fun/easy to drive though.

SPADGE

Thanks guys
No idea about boost its in a car i am thinking of buying to use as a track car next year. At least if i get bored i can always bung a yb in there Or maybe a bigger turbo?

I've seen numerous 2.8 T3 setups delivering 250bhp but the torque is mental

the TT200 kit's are beautifully drivable when running 0.4bar, so so smooth and almost lagless for a single turbo setup

IMO if you really want god power and metal torque then a janspeed kit is the one to go for the rotormaster turbo's with external wastegate really do the job well

For track a low boost TT setup would be ideal. BTW 8.3:1 cr is lower comp it really wants to run more boost than 0.4 bar otherwise you'll want to be making changes to the bottom end ignition curve.

Cheaps engines to fix

SPADGE

Cheers Rob It is a TT kit

Stavros

For a cheap RWD track car to wang sideways and shit it will make a quality fun car

With that comp id say 15psi wont be a problem if its mapped for it, and will be totally lagless so should be a good crack.

It wont be that impressive down the straights like a big power YB, but tracks aint about the straights really.

I reckon a .63 housing T34 and a decent fuel/ign/managment setup on a mota like that would be pretty ace fun

Weld up the diff if you want fun imo...

SPADGE

Just text'd the guy and he said it can run 20 psi but only currently running 8
Has a cossie rear 7.5" diff and type 9 box (whatever that is?) With billys all round and cossie brakes
This is a pic of it no piss taking about the graphics i'm not bothered what it looks like What would be the max it would be worth paying for such a car???

mark

that the onw on ebay ?

Stavros

ooh, i quite fancy that myself, even tho it looks gay, how much...

SPADGE

Yes its on Ebay but he wants more than the 1500 quid i have bid already!
Whats it worth and please no bidding

SPADGE

1 slight problem he just text'd me and said it does 8-10 mpg and he is in Hull

900ss

2.8 engine? I think it will throw a rod the 1st time it goes around a bend lol

mark

it's worth about 1.5k i gess

not many left that are in good nick

SPADGE

Wyn i reckon it will last a bit longer than that mate its not some shonky 150k miler thats been towing a caravan all its life lol And even if it did a grand will see it cossied
Steve has gone suspiciously quite i reckon he is trying to find it on ebay

mark

Stavros

nah, just not much else to say, and dont fancy it at that price, not at mo anyhow

dont think it will be as much fun cossied, though faster

SPADGE

What would the engine etc...be worth if i were to pull them out and sell them?

mark

turbo kits go for about £500

Stavros

depends whos boat needs a new anchor at the time of sale

SPADGE

Lol
Cheers for the sensible reply Mark

its deffo a grands worth , but not mucj more , the engine really aint worth fook all as there shite to begin with

morcheen

don't know what a type 9 box is back to school soon.

DOO

Nice Rouse Rep spadge


looks good mate it looks all there to go straight on the track and like you said you can lob a YB in it if you get fed up

SapphyMike

i've seen that around a few times, but then again, i live in hull, so i would expect too

Have the heads been ported at all? The heads are a real restriction on these engines and unlock quite a bt of power.

Wierd that it doesn't seem to have any kind of breather system, these engines breath pretty hard usually.

If it's on a standard type-9 the box won't last very long with hard driving. In fact the shonky old boat anchor 2.8 isn't supposed to stand up to track action that well. I'd be wary of one with track miles on it myself.

The engine is unlikely to fetch much on the 2nd hand market I'm afraid. The turbo kits go from between £300 and £700 depending on condition and parts included.

BLOODY HELL That worse then my 3.9 V8 Discovery towing

Looks good tho different

Doh

yeah i concure on the fuel consumption! had mine down close to 10mpg just hooning on the road..

Spadge, just for reference mine is standard motor(err.. 110k smokes a little ) running 6psi made 191bhp & 215lbft...

ferriday do know what there doing though! at that spec i would say over 250bhp

as stated there is no second hand market for this stuff, mate just sold a complete TT kit on ebay, with a brand new turbo (inc receipt from TT for £425 unused ) the kit went for £400 exactly

that fuel tank looks good though!
