keirz Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 depends really, lots of factors. the safest way would be a bigger turbo on lower boost.ie, a hybrid at 1.2bar @200bhp will cause a lot more strain on the engine pressure wise and also heat wise than a td04 at 0.5 bar @200bhpso it depends on engine condition, quality of the tune, boost pressure and turbo ect Quote Link to post Share on other sites
silverglanza Posted April 30, 2010 Author Share Posted April 30, 2010 so what would u reccomend for 230bhp? td04 turbo on low boost would it still give u that buzz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan Evans Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 hybrid CT9 will give you a buzz on standard internalsIf you want to go bigger, do it right and get a forged bottom end.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

riko666 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Head skim for £23?!! I got fleeced - I paid more than 10x that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
silverglanza Posted April 30, 2010 Author Share Posted April 30, 2010 lol thats doing it your self aswell isnt it ? might aswell buy the 2grand engine off nick at td surely? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 u did get fleeced if u did actually pay over 230 quid for a skim lol. there a place here that does it for 30. i dunno because I've not added up parts but im sure if you done it yourself you could maybe end up slightly better off than buying an engine as a whole but i could be wrong.

Dean @RW-Developments Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Head skim for £23?!! I got fleeced - I paid more than 10x that!wat your joking rite? i pay the same as dan £23 great job too theres sum rite rip off mechants out there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan Evans Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 yeah £23 lol, skim can range from different people, i was quoted £120 from a different company and laughed at themits upto you wot you wanna do really, its more expensive getting it from TMD i recon, and not only that, its more fun and for filling doing it yourself.

riko666 Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Yeah, AFR charged me £280..mind you, they also cleaned the head and replaced the valve stem seals, but it was a preposterous price. Then I had my block done for just £50 by someone literally down the road from me Buying parts yourself and outsourcing machining will always be cheaper (as long as unlike me, you don't get taken advantage of) if you do it yourself, if you want none of the hassle of sourcing out your own parts/machinery, then get the trader engines Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Jamaican's etc have seen 350+ HP on standard internals!!!Its all down to the condition of the engine, the tune, the fuel, the use of the car etc.Personally I think 230hp is about as much as I would want to take a standard GT (thicker rods) FTE to.

riko666 Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 As above - mind you, those high power ASI (All-Stock Internal) engines from Jamaica and America are all 5E's though.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andieep82 Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 my whole engine now completly done with oil filters parts and labour cost me 1600 all together Quote Link to post Share on other sites
silverglanza Posted May 9, 2010 Author Share Posted May 9, 2010 That's fully forged 1600 all in that's cheap ain't it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 ^Sounds like a pretty good deal! Did it have headwork as well though? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
