Sorry for got to say she currently has a 2.9 boa 24v cossi lump in at the moment it is completely standard at the moment she doesnt hang about by any means but i would like to know if anyone knows of any tunning tips for the boa 24v

howie1989

good luck with this boa's are a good lump very torquey. hopefully i'll have one in my capri next year if uncle isn't happy with it fingers crossed. btw they always seem to leak oil out of the rocker covers.

Dom-hkl

O ill keep an eye on that then and she is very torquey and she is very quick as she is but i know that i will crave more in time and the only place she has leaked oil on me so far is from the oil cooler and the rear gearbox seal but quite easy fixes so cant complain is nice solid feeling engine

Has been long time since i have updated anything on this thread thought i would get a few things out of the way have something worth putting up that way


Old ruined cracked dash out


roll cage mountes welded in


New dash in and rest of roll cage is put in place after a bit of a strugle getting it all bolted down and in place
dash is thanks to a poor striped xr4x4 which has been helpfull for many parts

here is picture of the interior as it stands i have pictures on another camera of the seat mounts which i modified the originals as i picket bucket seats that are base mountable i prefer this as being a short ass the side mount brackets feel like that flex as i always have to have the brackets on there highest position and the seatblet mounting plates which are wealded underneth the car and the eyes put into them

new discs also a nice little extra


slightly more aro dynamic bumper
and slightly less rusty boot of of the xr4x4 whilst i repair tho orignal one

love it mate - i have a boa waiting to go into my 3dr track car too.

for more power go for a single turbo conversion running 6-7psi which should give it a nice kick and still keep it reliable

Dom-hkl

Cheers mate, yer im unshure what to do for more power as i have a 2.9 turbo techincs engine with the heads done sat looking at the engine bay
its setting up the handling properly that im struckling with finding the best bang for my buck

might help if you tell us what suspension your running etc ??

couple of things that may help
6 degree rear beam, LSD, Escos rear ARB, Coilovers, adjustable front top mounts, 3dr cos front hubs, Poly bushes

All down to cost

Dom-hkl

Yer sorry would be a good start she has a granda cosworth rear beam
Lowering springs that are pants shocks that I think are broken but this is what iv decided on so far and you can let me know if you think this is suitable avo front coil overs with 600lbs springs and 450 rears with adjustable dampers but due to the hight drop she is having problems with camber I asked on another's thread and I was told to get adjustable arms or camber shims now adjustable arms
We're do they become adjustable from and this sims do
You have to buy them by the degree to correct the wheel to we're you want it ? Confused
