Spyshot photo of me building the engine.
It's all together now apart from the sump, cams are dialled in correctly and no valve to piston which is a bonus. The lift and duration is quite a lot!
It was fun to time up as the crank has not been made with the hole for the timing pin and there was...
It's been a while but there's a bit of progress at last!
Flywheel (thanks scoff), triple plate clutch and crank back from balancing so i can build the engine.
Most of the fuel system parts are on the way and suspension is been designed by KW as we speak.
Yes we did the build on the white 250, what i mean is we don't know how strong the internals are, they physically look better but not sure what the power limit will be.
The graph above was a totally standard car yesterday morning, all we did is bolt a turbo, down pipe, exhaust and injectors on...
The pistons and rods are stronger but how strong is unknown really. You see some big claims on the stock injectors saying they are 360hp but they max out on my dyno at about 325-330hp!
Getting there Gray yes.
It's just on 83mm pistons, need the wall thickness to try stop the block cracking!
Fuel wise I have a set of 2400cc Siemens but might need to add some other injectors too if I go down the e85 route
There's no pre-set map for them.
I would have to send you a base map for you to log and we would revise the cal to suit. Will take several versions to get perfect.
I can but it works out fairly expensive for a map this way:
