What bar (or psi), and power goal, would you be able to run on this built 2.5 motor? The 'max' c.450-70 @ 1.6/7bar (or is it 1.7/8?), I'm guessing. No?

There are many things to take into account, not just boost, compression ratio plays a biy role in the strength of the 2.5 block. As a general rule at 8.5:1 450bhpis a safe setup. Plenty of people run more but thats what most regard as safe.

Cheers.

What head gaskets, and head studs are fitted?

None I suspect - it's the short motor only by the advert.

What sort of deal did you have in mind for the px ? Pm me the details please

Oops, epic fail. :o

My apologies.

I can supply some :thumb:

Just let me know what you have to p/x for example if it's a 2.5 with piston issues I'd allow £500 if it's got a damaged crank £250, same for a 2.0 scdb, less for open deck engines though.
pm me or give me a bell if you want to discuss more
