The bottom ends are quite good on them, an mine will remain standard on this set up. Alot of other people have got around 400bhp on the standard bottom ish.

its really that easy lol

Yes its that easy, make sure its a good engine to start with though. Also just had mine running, and it was running spot on which is a good sign. Just got to wait for braided hose an silicon in order get it back on the road.

Right then an update, although not a good one. Got it all running an decided to see if it was boosting right ect?.. It was running excellent, it felt 10 times faster than before even with nitrous and I still have another 100bhp or so to go on top of it. It was just pulling stupidly hard in all gears, but then after a few runs the dread knocking noise came from the bottom end and it started firing on 3 cylinders. Its now stripped down to a bare block and is under going a full re-build??ops. After stripping it all down we didn?t find anything wrong with it, no bent valves, no hole in the piston, nothing broken. Looks like something has made its way into the engine which we cant understand why . To cut it short the pistons are mullered up along with the head.

So while it all needs to stripped down Ive decided to sort out some other things that need doing.

- Low comp pistons
- Under piston squirters
- Uprated conrods
- A lot of head work (got to come apart anyway to fix)
- XE exhaust camshaft (already have the inlet on in)
- and the usual bottom end rebuild parts

At least I know the turbo an that works fine, in fact its better than I was expecting, and the sound it made was something else. :thumb:

unlucky phil, take it you defenitly wont be getting back on donnington then lol

Im hoping to have it done for the end of jan, if everything goes well. It will go round donnington on the chav day, and it will upset the local people lol

Fook me that shifts,Lol

Shame about the bottom end trouble, will be better in the longrun tho to get it all re-built now.

shame, good excuse to make it even faster now tho lol

that is rapid lol

Hi Phil,

Good progress there mate. Shame about the rebuild but at least it'll be even stronger this time!

Are you still going to be running it on the Evo 5 software for get some standalone engine management?
