[Benn]

Cage looks great, so zlet now? Or C with z block?

What you aiming for with new engine then 600bhp?

Yes it will be in the end mate, the turbo should see over 600.

Bit of a update,
I have been on a photo mission while i had a bit time today...
Here are a pair of hubs i bought from jonboy already machined for the audi bearings, so sent them off to be powder coated.

I'll get the hubs machined then we can start supplying those rather than the type that are used at the min.

Full gasket set, including cometic, metal oil pump, dip stick tube gaskets etc, cam and crank seals...


Head stud kit with ARP nuts with washers


ARP main stud kit (thread and nuts)


Omega low comp pistons with thicker crowns


Arrow rods, I decided to stick with Mahle main and big end bearings.


The stronger ARP 625 PLUS rod bolts


Cylinder head spec;
Neil Roper gas flowed, Skimmed,
+1mm inlet valves,
+1mm nimonic 80 exhaust valves,
Arrow solids,
new stem seals,
Piper Springs and retainers.
Piper cams machined from blanks 11.5mm lift
