lol I understand where your coming from, so for better flow, your ported even further on big ports? Heck lol.
I bet you payed the £1200 plus for your cams though? It helps if you know their supplier and don't have the cosworth stamp to bring pice down
Edit- I suppose it helps further to further port on a 2.35 though?
I'm deffo set on a 2.1 but deciding on arrow crank for the reliable redline abuse?
Omega extreme pistons, arrow rods, just unsure of crank.

I just got tired of it mate to much let downs after spending X amount on it...But I have learnt a lot through the experience.I have now started on another build project,turbocharging a Renault Clio 172 phase 2 as i missed my Renault 5 turbo's go kart handling and those Clios handle much better in my opinion no more 3 wheel drifting around corners in the 5,just slowly getting the parts for it now.SJ.

I quite like the quick cheapest idea of the newer clios with the full megane 225 conversion and mapped to around 250hp, quite nippy and fun and still drivable.
Good luck though.
However that mx5 I had was a awesome car to drive, but I hated it to a certain extent to its granny type look, I was going to have that turbod but the cost including ecu with a decent spec would of cost around 4K+ so I gave up on the idea and broke it. But honestly that would of been fun if I had.

Said earlier in the thread I’m not getting into a debate about my own build ,,I was just surprised at the cost compared to what I’d be willing to pay
Believe what you like but when your building a WRC spec car you need a engine to suit or am I not building that either lol

Not sure what's with the attitude chap, I have no idea what you're building. You must have seriously deep pockets if you're building a proper WRC car though, just the shell work would run into tens of thousands if it's as prodrive did it. Is there a build thread as i'd love to have a read
My point was, to build a complete WRC long block would cost you alot more than half the OP's bill. When you say 'engine' what do you mean, I assume a bare short motor ???
