pah, old hat. best 4 pot around.....the honda...then the duratec.

rover, buick v8 sucks.....lol

chevy small block.

oh, and the JC series geabox's are crap......but i dont really care about that lol.

true.....you can do all that, but it doesnt make it a good engine. Turbos are very easy to make power on. Hondas old B series are pumping out 1000bhp in 1.8 trim. The vag has an apalling head, crap chamber etc etc. The block is strong, but geometry isnt great either. I just dont find the...

no biggie lol. i like paper, and so do sand racers lol, they only make the mistake of running cotton or gauze once.

agree. It was roamer who paid for the development himself, and i dont think he has recieved enough thanks for it. Out of his own pocket he paid. I think we should all send him £5 as a thanks. I wouldnt have a casting to base my modified bodies on if it wasnt for him lol.

Incorrect, nothing, and i mean nothing, filters aswell as paper elements.....that is why they get dirty so fast.

But who the hell wants a VAG POS in the car? And if that were the case, go to honda, they are miles better....the old B series turbos are pushing 900bhp-1000bhp on near stock gear box's.

Indeed, you'll be able to top 300, but i highly doubt anybody will evey want that from a road based forum.

Nothing confidential, but it'll just end up with some guy writing some content, then me reading it, not liking it and correcting it...in which case i might aswell wright the content then hand it over to someone to put onto a website. Thats what i'm saying, not that i dont trust someone with my...

it sure is......but i dont really have or trust anybody to write the content, otherwise it'll just be full or random blurb.

loads!!!! But its all depends on when a customer wants to spend the money, as a 270bhp engine will cost some decent money.

TBH, none of us are pushing it at all.

i'm trying! lol writing a website i just dont have time.......plus its hard to write without sounding stupid.

We already have that system setup. But people tend to just refer to it as manifold/remap....cams/manifold/remap...cams/manifold/headwork/remap and so on and so forth. I'm just not a fan of the name 'stages'. But if you email either of us you will see that we are quite able to discuss and...

SDB are a big company, they can buy in bulk and have their own ECU which they can produce at lower costs than we can buy ecu trade. They've been in the business for a long time so their prices are going to be 'cheap', but the XE has been around ages and competition is high, so prices are going...

Nope, ontop of that 2.2k you still need ALOT of stuff. Buy the DT kit and you'll see what i mean.

Thats my point exactly. You can buy the parts for a spastic caterham for pennies, but if a nun built it, would you drive it?

either way, those are the prices your looking at nowadays. And for arguements sake, i dont rate roller barrel, and neither does F1 ;) lol.

I used to run N20 all day long, but i got bored of it pretty quick. Fun for short periods, but you really dont feel it like you think you would. And the costs keep adding up, i spent £180 in gas on the first day i installed it. If you want, what is basically a beefier engine with the...

There are yes.....most of the cams i sell are on that single type. Keep stock idle, increase torque dramatically and give potential for 220bhp if you use bodies. They took a while to get right though, first prototype wouldn't idle at all lol.

Yes, its all on design of the cams. Ultimately, the wilder you go, the more you loose in terms of lower rev range efficiency simply because the engine system cannot generate the VE's required at low rpm due to the excessive cam profile. But that is what vvt and vtec try to cure, running...

woohoo, open....now i get to post the post i spent ages writing only to find it was closed lol..... EVO, just to calm things down......put it this way. On all the older, el cheapo bodies you cna run for the cossies and vaux's which have DCOE based inlet manifolds, you can build a system...

Well, tuning is all subjective. Sure you can get a std car that is faster for the same money, or do something else to another car to make it faster, but the owner might not deem that as fun. Its the same idea that follows people who restore classic cars woth pittence, but still love them...

oh..........thats not good.

Its not that hard, but its all in the details, and getting the details spot on is hard as were talking tenths of a thou minimum.

components mean 30%, its the builders skill at manipulating tolerances to what he wants that will ensure a good build. Get the pistons/rods balanced as matched sets, then get the crank balanced, then the front pulley and flywheel balanced on their own, not as part of the crank. I have...

you've been to bolton?

i guess the operative word ther is decent, i wouldnt rate them as 'good'.
