I think turbosmart ones are smaller? Search for the dimentions for one of those?

Thats the ticket

Theres a reason all production cars come with a shroud, get one and a spal fan not a chepo ebay fan apparantly there is a massive difference between the two

Cop was a dick, started leaning all over the car showing total lack of respect for something he could probably never own...yeah jelousy is a bitch lol...putting a ticket on a car like is daft does he looks like he gives a shit about a ticket?

Ahh right so it would be best to port the inlet ports to a gasket and leave the intet ports alone vice versa for the exhaust...Athena have loads of different sizes avaliable so ill pick one say 1-1.2mm? tbh thats now my main concern, i dont want to invest in a solid engine and have a tuner half ass things and not make the best of what i have given him..having looked at the td04's at 1bar id be expecting nearer 250 with the gt25 and for it to hit full boost earlier....seems all the tuners tune the way u mention :/

Im sure we can help you out, what parts are you after? get a list up mate

Cheers lads thats a load off my mind, may go with your suggestion n throw a thicker hg on...any idea what the cr would be after the head and block is skimmed + a 1.9mm hg? Bearings id go for acl or clevites..as for the head id just be cleaning the casting marks roughly/port matching mabe even cut the valve guides down but thats it no removal of excess material @ klyfax the reason i want a rebore is to start fresh, so 74.5mm should suffice..emb is emanage blue n emu is emanage ultimate....decided on a ngk wideband and some stack/omori gauges but yet to finalise management When you say port match the top, do you mean just the top half of the port and leave like a step in both inlet+exhaust manifolds? Ive read that having a step in the exhaust manifold-head is a good thing something called exhaust reversion? I have a acis ready to go...a run on each set of runners will easily determine the best open point Apreciate the help guys

people want stupid money for standard engines mate, not to put you off but if you really want one your going to have to cough up unfortunately....or get your own one rebuilt dont ever give up tho....youll regret it till the day you get back into another EP

Basically.... power goal ~250bhp spec: 4efe block + crank stock 4efte GT rods 74.5mm ross pistons 6500-6800 rpm rev limit gt25 at 1-1.2 bar external wg emb/emu diy ported head acis manifold just to clarify and put the ommm you need to go fully forged bandwagon to bed, yes i can get forged rods but im on a tight budget and my power goal is fixed...this is just a "slightly better than standard build with tweeks" a standard engine is out of the question people want an arm n a leg and god only knows what condition it will be in....if i was to forge id go 5E je pistons/pauter rods/arp studs top and bottom/gtx turbo/clevite77 bearings...not to mention the gearbox issues id inevitably face @300+ bhp so throw in another £2-3k for a zisco gearset ....so no lets not go there :surrender: now to make sure everythings reliable i need to run a low compression ratio to take stress off the rods hence the lower rev limit....anyone got any suggestions as to a good compression ratio? ive read that HYBRID on tgtt has sucessfully ran 1.5-1.7 bar on standard rods with a cr of 7.34:1 how do i go about calculating what i need? what would be best?

Determind to go before he tops it mind lol

http://www.davidvizardseminars.com/ Mind videoing it If you go?

Sorry there was a two page spread focusing on him and what hes going to cover in the seminar, the above topics + more Shit! Its in sept i think mate thought it was in july...if you can have a deek in the car mechanics/diy mechanics mag...its a couple of days before my exam thats why i cant go

It was in a magazine, car mechanic? cant remember to be precise covered topics like making a cheap flow bench camshaft secrets of which the companys dont want you to know about Valve shape/design Etc etc

Lol what are we doing wrong ^ sat revising hungry as fck...feel like lifting the whole gym up but have no energy to go

Guys a legend, wish i could have gone to his recent seminar :/

Apexi would be the best bet, a genuine one that is... Id settle for k&n widely avaliable and theres loads of bargains on ebay

If the stock setup and you rear lca's are maxed out i dont see any other way of doing that doesnt involve something dodgy....did you get cheaper bc's which dont have camber adjustment or do they not do them? id put your fanblades back on till you can afford the camber arms, then do it properly...looks aside how does she drive? Motorway speeds? You thought of tyre wear too?

By destroyed what actually happen to it?

Pics of the bonnet?

Save it...

Happy birthday mate its my birthday today too, looks wicked hope it tastes just as good!

this x2 ^ if you have the monies get it ceramic coated but be warned of cost

Idrees could sort you out with the correct one get in touch with him

Did you have this fitted? When did you reach full boost?

Thanks, which of the two would be best suited? Power goal wise im looking to squeeze 240-250 from a fresh rebuild driven on street so would like boost to kick in low down...well as low as possible
