pffff; don't ask - bout ?2000 on so far standard lookin and going 1.6 8v lump. but; its all downhill from here- its ready for carbs/throttle bodies whatever i decide upon. unless i fancy turb-ing it where it'd have to come apart again. see my feature for specs. next on list is dta/mbe management. but im not havin much luck with engine. its tough when ur mecanically challenged.

On my E16SE
?180 on piper cam
?300 on full bottom end rebuild + flywheel lightened
?60 on K&N 57i
?40 on 2nd hand lexmaul manifold
?can't remember on exhaust system (over ?150 tho')
?30ish on new HT leads & Dizzy from Halfords
?40 on F13 gearbox (after last one got stuck in reverse!)
rr print out @ 108bhp & 120 lb/ft but needs a tune up as its not had one since the cam went in!!

?600ish for twin 45s and all the bits for it like fueling an ignition,
?200 for set of cams,
?50 for lighten flywheel,
?530 for LSD
And all other gay things for services an that.

ohh the engine must be at about ?1200ish "thus far" with some extras needing to be bought before it goes in


expecting atleast 100bhp from it though

Well I'm not sure what its going to cost in total yet, Iv started building a phase 4 engine while running the 3.5 engine this summer but after talking to chris from regal i now think my phase 4 engine will be a phase 5 engine because he told me the only differance is big valves, bigger cams and the chips & map changed, So why stop at a phase 4 when the engine is already in bits! so not sure how much its going to cost but iv orded steel rods, steel low compression piston, competition shells, oil pump, water pump. still need to order a 200sx tubular manifold, T 4 turbo, I need the head flowing and big valves fitted! not sure what else yet but i'm not going to add it up either.

I'll post the pics of it as i build it up. :D
