Right ive decided its time to move on, just put this engine in and it goes VERY well, 220bhp and ready for some serious boost potentiol for 300+
exterior spec -
15' superleggeras
perspex windows (proper formed ones sitting on origanol rubbers)
omp tow hook (origanol was snapped off when i got the car)
interior spec -
cobra bucket seats
sparco harnesess
carbon door cards
boost gauge where the clock was
lumintion afr meter (the proper £120 one)
Chassis -
r888 tyres
wilwood 4 pots
brembo max disc's
braided lines
williams wide track
avo coilovers (one front is knocking slightly but thier in warrenty and i will get it repaired)
polybushed thorughout
every steering component is new inc track rod ends and the actual track rods (not cheap)
Engine/box -
1.8 16v f7p
je forge low comp pistons (was custom made in america)
arrow steel conrods (have seen reciept for these £675 plus vat !!)
arp rod bolts
knife edge crank & balanced (very expensive!!!!)
ported head with multi angled seats e.t.c
lightened & balanced flywheel
vernier pullies
bb manifold
t28/t25 hybrid turbo,
braided oil feed
turbo downpipe with flexi section inc decat
green 802 injectors
2 bar map sensor
front mount intercooler with all pipework
forge dump valve
throttle take off with pipework
cone filter unsure of make
mapped ecu by fastchip
mint jc5 box, no crunch's what so ever
220bhp 187bhp@wheels
many of you will have seen the engine for sale, i bought it and redone the oil return to the block as the sump one had a 90 degree bend init, i also had the sump off and resealed it, its now using a brand new helix paddle clutch.
I wasnt to happy with the pipe work and have got hold off a proper turbo tb adaptor, and was going to redo the lot inc buying a charge cooler. I have the feture for the car from whicht he engien has came from and it will be supplied with the car, this confirms the spec, aswell as the pictures.
This car has the potentiol to make 300bhp+ this is a highboost engine running a low boost map, to run the car high boost you will need to purchase an adjustable fuel pressure regulator and a high boost chip (available from ktec for £290) may also require an upgraded fuel pump. This engine is running spot on, afr meter reads on the 'max power' led when on full chat. To run high boost the car will also need a better exhaust system, it is currently a standard center section which i beleive will strangle it
Bad points -
rear arch's are a little rusty, not bled through yet so dont look bad.
engine bay is pretty messy with wires e.t.c
knock from one strut
one wheel has a tiny bit of kurbing onit
The pics are from before the engine went in, it looks exactly the same now except an intercooler behind the bumper grill, i have not cut the bumper grill to fit the intercooler as it fit nicely behind it
