Hi i have a uk 2000 Turbo with a heavy knock from the bottom end.
I know this engine needs rebuilt but not sure which road to take.
I can buy a 2.5ltr block opendeck from Flat4online.co.uk for around £1500.
i plan on having the car for some time. i will be looking for around 330bhp at the wheels and have been told i should consider the stroker kits available
i dont wont to spend much more then 3k to get the car back running but also want more power ?

any advise please


Thanks

Tam

 

IMHO:
You will need more than 3K to do what you want even DIY.

You will need anther turbo, an ECU, better fueling, and cams/heads.
Be interesting what others say.

 

2.2 is very expensive as you need to reliner a 2ltr block or have a genuine ej22t block which is rare as rooking horses poo to get hold of if your only planning 330bhp ish just put the standard 2.5ltr in !!!

 

I was thinking about engine builds today ( i don`t need one) i was just wondering, what kind of price is it to get a 400 bhp ish engine built?? forged obviously, you guys can hopefully tell me i`m still a newbie to all this

I know it`s not just engine, you also need good brakes, suspension etc

 

Give Paul from Zen Performance a call Zen Performance - Engine Builds

They gave an extremely competitive price for my forged 2.0 build, they also gave an excellent price for my brother's 2.5 build.
