I just hope the EngineTuner magic rubs off on all the other components...

Bez has broken just about everything else, and then upgraded it !

P.S. I wonder what he'd manage with a FMIC ?

It's quite a large one... but that just makes it easier to cook with a hot turbo, IMHO.

P.S. Mine is off to EngineTuner... starting tomorrow !

2.1 with everything needed engine wise for 500 bhp £4500 drive in drive out.
That's a new 79 mm crank, Wiseco pistons, K1 rods, ACL Race bearings, ARP studs, RCM oil pump, Cosworth head gaskets and sump baffle.
It includes heads overhauled, fully balanced assembly etc.
Also the first 50 miles of running in.
You could leave everything else as it is, then come back later on, add the kit and let it rip!
Sorry to drag the convo back a fair bit Alan but the kit above, is it only recommended to run at 500bhp or is there more to go?

We pushed one of them up to 567 bhp with no bother. It's a statement of intent thing. If you're going to aim for a very high figure it makes sense to prepare as best you can. I'm thinking of 14mm studs and suchlike.
We also offer a Cosworth piston option for the stroker for another £100.
How much power do you wish?

500-550 but that want for more (being a man and all) may prove to be an issue further down the line should my progress be halted by a specific component that i could/should have changed while the engine was open.

Bloody male genes, and all women have to worry about a is monthly episode!
