Yes this is a mega build!

 

I like lots of information. I will need to give this a good look over.

 

How do you feel about "Max Speeding" rods as a direct replacement for OE? Just out of interest. Don't judge them for HP, just as a direct replacement.

Max speeding rods wont fit stock OEM pistons you will need forged pistons as well, I have used max speeding rods to 300bhp and have them in my 5e build aiming for 380-400bhp. Some of the VXR lads have had almost 500bhp from them as long as you get builders to check tolerances they are decent rods.

If you know how to speak engine sometimes you can see it shouting problems at you. The 4efe is a very basic production line unit and some of these updated parts I see are poor at best, not removing all and in some cases adding problems. Take for instance forged rods that remove the standard piston oiler drilling and then do not incorporate any thrust face grinds. Gives me the chills just thinking of the oil control. In all honesty around 250hp at 6krpm I'd set its very reasonable limit unless you are blue printing the full engine to race spec, which is a lot of work.

Below 4efte updated rods a design that works and improves on standard and in all honesty simple and affective improving many areas.

Some good examples of rear facing vents that do not affect tyre contact and removing under bonnet heat and drag but keep bonnet downforce look at the vents in the sill panel bellow the windscreen

you can see in this picturewhat seems too be  engine is tilted for better driveshaft angle but what comes into my head if done this way (there is other ways ) is the risk of having less oil return to sump and oil build up in head !!!! as we all know oil drain to sump  is at the back of the block...

imo engine forward... up... and tilt back...

Intake port design producing swirl and tumble turbulence. The blackening in the port is a similar substance to liquid steal apoxy. Which as well as improved cylinder squish and flame propergation these engines desperately need
