let or ex engine

[will699]

which engine is better ? also f20 or an f28 gear box i can get either just wondering which the best set up would be ?

[Andy]

whats your budget?

[Mieran]

XE, because its SOOO much easier

LET is way too much hassle and no room for anything

[krobinson]

It's all down to budget. And what you want from the car.

XE on F20 is about 1 5th the price of doing a LET on F28 right.

Whats your budget?
Whats the car used for?

Etc etc

[sport]

Do you want turbo or non turbo power?

[bazil]

would a standard xe pull in 6th on a f28?

[MattBrown]

Define better?

For cheap thrills a let.

If you have many ££££ then build a decent Xe.

For a road car, then an Xe.

But you need £10,000 to build an Xe to go like a ph1 c20let.

If your doing it right, a c20let will be reliable, it's usually people buy a 1,000,000 mile engine, then chip it, boost up, fuel up and expect it to last!

I'd say Xe though for yourself z

okay thanks alot people, is goin to be for a fast road car and i can get either of the engine for cheap the let needs a full rebuild

[mowgli]

where do you get these prices from haha, build a mild spec xe for a couple of grand that would be much more fun than a let, lighter and probably beat a 250-260bhp let round the track haha
