does anyone know what kind of bhp the open decked block can take with uprated pistons and conrods ets?

 

It will take however much your budget is.

 

WELL I AM THINKING OF GETTING MANLEY FORGED H BEAM CONRODS WITH ARP BOLTS, FORGED MAHLE PISTONS, ARP 11MM HEAD STUDS, COSMETIC GASKETS ( MAYBY COSWORTH ONES WHICHEVER IS THE BEST?), ACL RACING MAIN AND BIG END BEARINGS, COSWORTH 12MM OIL PUMP, COSWORTH TIMING BELT, ROGER CLARK BREATHER KIT PLUS OTHER STUFF

 

turbo,fuelling, injectors, exhaust,ecu, heads, cams, ignition, maf, gearbox, drivetrain. what about all of those. unless you give us more info, then how long is a piece of string. don't expect to get big power reliably unless you have very deep pockets

 

For the price of a second hand closed deck, its worth the trouble if your spending money on nice rods and pistons. However Some are running around 500 on the 2LT non closed deck, not my choise though.

 

did we ever get a difinitive answer on the oil galleries thing?
