nicceee
wats the spec?
MEGA spec
Dry sump, custom cam grinds, high cr slipper pistons, steel rods, HUGE exhuast manifold etc etc
Quite an achievement those figures are, awesome stuff ESPECIALLY for you small block haters
230hp is a huge figure to get from a 2L 16v,never mind a s/b 1800
Old XE track car

Hope you got my text Lee
Well done pal - loving it!
'bout bloody time too :D
Clever lad
Impressive nova
thanks for the comments guys, especially liking the ground breaking bit, although i think Martin Bowyer has to have some credit! as does the base engine tbh, really nice design with huge ports and a 5mm valve train as standard
as for spec
x18xe1 block and head
zip tie motorsport(thats me! ) worked head with valve deshrouding work too, 12.04 c/r
custom valves to accept BMW motorbike collets(single large radius groove rather than three sharp snap inducing ones)
berillium alloy valve guides
catacams 288 cams with 12.6mm lift
solid lifters
Omega bridge type 81mm 2 ring slipper pistons
steel rods 3mm longer than stock to account for gudgeon pin and ring land height
double doweled ultralight steel flywheel and 7.25'' clutch
lightened and balanced bottom end
45mm jenvey parallel bodies with 90mm trumpets and ITG air filter
Bowyer inlet manifold matched to head
peco yellow band injectors with 60 psi fuel pressure
magnecor leads and stock coil pack
Simpsons race exhaust with 1 7/8 primaries and 2.5''full system with single box
Davies craig electric water pump with original deleted from cambelt run
pace dry sump system custom mounted on the back if the engine
DTA 48 ecu
thats about it
what makes me most happy about the figures is where they are from too tbh, track and road have probably the most accurate rollers in the country, so i know its not inflated at all
