He's always on the phone mate you need to keep trying he's a nightmare to get hold of sometimes... if you leave a voicemail with your number on he will get back to you the same day usually

I got a 4efe engine mate for the crank mate the cranks are the same in them and you will end up with a spare head that will most likely come in handy at some point for the shims and stuff or you can sell it on my 4efe was only 40 quid I think I imagine it will be a struggle finding a decent fte crank for cheap these days

Pm sent matey cheers 👍

I measured the size of my turbo and just bought some pipes off auto silicone hoses with them been cheap you can pick just about any color you want and any air filter you want and have it sitting anywhere you want

I've got some down the garage I think dude

Cheers dude that's similar figures to what Speedvision claim

Cheers buddy good little read that! So from what has been said here all over gt turbo and the Internet about cams is that our cars want as little as possible duration (read a few times no more than 260 degrees) with a bit of lift So from what I can gather the earlyer speed vision cams if you can find any are the mustard (confirmed by Phil and a few others on a few threads I found on tgtt) by the newer speed vision ones are a bit too crazy (a few have said ideal for drag starlets) I'm thinking these puppy's http://www.pipercams.co.uk/pipercams/www/product.php?pid=TSFTEBP285 Might be the ones

Cheers dude, that's something I might look into never even thought you would be able to get them with suby flanges on them but like I say I'd have to check how much room I've got first with my current turbo set up because it is tight

What turbo are you running with your cams mate?

Yes I know.... But taking the standard cams out that where designed for an all round power delivery on the standard car and replacing them with ones that are more suited for making your power and mid to high up the revs will when you have a bigger turbo that is making power mid to high up the revs

I personally can not see it been cheaper to go for a gt28 I've mooched about and gt28's are quite simply a fortune and that's without a mani and down pipe because the more I think about it how close my td04 is to not fitting with the current wepr ram horn setup (you can just to say get the oil filter off from where it's situated it fits perfect) there's not a chance you could modify that to fit a gt28. The costs that are thought of with cams the more you look into it arnet that bad... Sort of anyway because I will be doing it all myself with help from friends so I won't be paying for laybour

When you say move the power band up surely the standard cams are made to produce power every where so if you put cams in and move the power band up that takes the first 4 or 5 k where your not making power and utilizes it up top where you've got boost this making more power? From the small bits that I've read here and there that's my understanding of it? So even with a smaller turbo like a td04 you would still get gains? I mean the latest revision of Speedvision cams on there website claim as much as 45bhp on a 5e surely there's truth behind that i can't imagine them just making it up

I was always under the impression that gt28 kits are a lot more expensive than that you had one up for sale for £2500 a few month ago didn't you? but anyway if you can go gt28 for that sort of money then I can't really argue my case there any further lol As for the power figures it doesn't sound like the cams helped make you any power at all... Unless normally a gt28 makes less than that? That aside thigh because obviously they're just numbers do you feel like the cams gave you any better drivability or any better of a top end kick?

Wanting as much advice or opinions as I can get because I can't find much on it on this forum and I'm adamant that there's loads of gains to be had from them! I am rebuilding my engine after it span a shell and while it's all apart I'm thinking fuck it why not just go the whole hog! I know that there's people who will go against it and say the stock cams are more than good enough and I agree I ran 300 ponys on a td04 hybrid and it was great but I'm sure that there's more to be had than that with cams and headwork. Wether it be that you want to sit at a set of lights with your daft body kitte

Legend! Cheers matey 👍

Cheers mate! I looked at that thread earlyer aswell and didn't even spot it 🙈

I'll take that engine but it will be the weekend is this okay?

I've tried a couple of local scrap yards and they only want to sell me a full engine unsurprisingly and I begrudge paying the money they're asking for a 4efe So if anyone has a crank or a cheap 4e let me know 👍
