i do want it there dont get me wrong , but i cannot justify getting deeper in debt for a paint job ,


beef

dojj

iTrader: (3)

Spend "spare cash" on the car not "essential living cash" on stuff you don't need beef.

No point in rushing it to please everyone and fucking yourself up is there, after all, it's your car and you can take as long as you need to

nugnah

Beef, looking at the quality of Spesh K's work , i would let him paint it for you, he has done you proud so far bud.

iTrader: (6)

ok folks , as the shells basically sat waiting for paint , were going to make a start on the engine


so ..



heads been finished on the porting stages now ,

not happy with the paint and seeing as it needs a full clean its off to be alloy acid dipped monday morning then the build up will begin


few pics







ports on the inlet side ,





update to floolow beginning of the week ,

new bronze guides , seals ect to go in

beef

J1mbo

iTrader: (1)

Good stuff mate have you decided on power yet then?

fezzajsy

iTrader: (9)

-beefy-

iTrader: (6)

yeah jim ,


got lured into the seedy world of " i need more power than i think "

but when weve sat back and the reality of it is ,


i dont ,

so its going bk together and been build with a good reliable spec in mind

so fully rebuilt bottom end
big wingd and 6 long studs
all new bearings pumps
std rods with new little ends ,
mahle .5 pistons with vco's ( thanks to scs )

grp a or small tbo head gasket

fully built up head , new seals guides , std springs , std exhaust , bd14 fully ported and port matched trumpets


then either a 4x4 plenum with 14mm spacer , or better aftermarket inlet , and something like a gt3071


so roughly cossierich spec allbeit with a bit of porting


should be solid and relaible around the 400 mark ,

COCHYN

You don't need a GT30 for 400 bud

CossieRich

iTrader: (1)

Beef. Unless you are going to be a right ol pussy and not run much boost then you will be hard pushed to keep it at around the 400bhp mark. More 450 with ease if you have a midly fettled head

-beefy-

iTrader: (6)

lol cheers rich ,


450 it will be then ,


honestly reliabilty is key lol , but the final output will all depend on what turbo i end up with ,

got my eye on a gt30 ,

just have to wait till some things are paid and shells painted

beef

frayz

In RWD setup, 400/400 will be borderline useable in a car as little and light as yours Beef IMO.

Id also keep it sensible, responsive and reliable. I spent yesterday at Brands for some track time. SIDC/MLR/GTR joint day.
The sensible sub 450 cars were out thre all day and frighteningly potent when used effectively. The big bhp cars were in and out like the Okee-Kokie with niggles mate.

-beefy-

iTrader: (6)

pmsl @ fraz - yeah i know weve had this discussion before mate


hope you enjoyed your weekend bud



update to follow

COCHYN

I agree, mine's not much bigger and doesn't weigh that much. With near enough no weight over the rear wheels, 350bhp was a handful at times. The new engine will no doubt prove to be the shells limits as a road car....anything above and it shouldn't be on the road

-beefy-

iTrader: (6)

ill always be heavier than u alan lol

just scoff me tea while pics upload

COCHYN

Scoff all you want brother, you'll never get that seat far enough back to hang your ass over rear beam x
