Glanza v jack Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Just a question for the possible future. What would be the best forged kit to buy for the money? For a ep91 td04?Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattyD Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Depends how much money you have ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza v jack Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 Depends how much money you have ;)Lol I know mate but the best for its money though? So not thee most expensive but the reasonable option out of them all. There's a weisec (I think its called) kit on eBay for £950? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pick1 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Are u gonna build it urself ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 We have forged Wossner pistons and Pec rods available at £850 ;) I can supply everything else you need cheaper than anyone else too, such as updated head gasket, engine gasket set, oil pump, timing belt kit etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza v jack Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 Are u gonna build it urself ?I'm not very mechanically skilled mate so more than likely take it to a garage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Because I generally don't know how much it would cost to forge what I need to reach at least 280bhp Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pick1 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Race tech and tuning developments both have a stage two engine that seem to handle that power very weather av a look at there engine spec list that will give u an idea of everything u will need dude Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza v jack Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 Just had a look then looks good, I was told about the wossner forge kit on eBay for £899 which is forge pistons and con rod kit only I think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattyD Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 To be fair, any of the forged pistons/rods will be fine for the power mate! Its all about how the engine is built Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza v jack Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 What needs to be forged for it to take 280bhp? Would the pistons and con rods be enough or you need a fully forged gasket set and head gasket and new oil pump and other stuff? I looked on the race tech forge kit and they had all sorts of stuff with their kit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattyD Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 If your forging the engine mate you will be needing new gaskets, bearings, oil & water pump ect you get more depending on wether you go stage 1, 2 or 3! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Browner Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 All forged rods and pistons should easily cope with 280bhp once set up correctly. if it was me I would choose Pauter or Scat rods as they have been tested to big power figures and dished Wiseco pistons Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza v jack Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 Cool cool well the 220bhp will do me nicely at the moment haha see what the future brings and will have a look. Just wanted to know what I'd need Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Big enough power there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Browner Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Correct Iddy but as far as I can research that is the highest bhp that 5e PEC rods have been tested to. At the time I was building I checked the official ratings of the rods and they were quite lower than that but yes they are holding 383bhp fine at the moment I will soon be testing them to a lot more bhp when I bring the car to England so watch this space ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 For the money you can't beat scat, pec, wossner kits. If you got more money then CP pistons and pauter rods. Although other brands are tried and tested for a fraction of the cost.In fairness you would probably be better off buying a pre-built engine package, I wouldn't trust a normal garage to build me a forged motor, that saying I don't know where you plan on taking it.

Seanmccagh Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 What's the best site to look at to get a forge kit? And what sort of price we looking at? Wanting like 380+ bhp out of it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 What's the best site to look at to get a forge kit? And what sort of price we looking at? Wanting like 380+ bhp out of it! You would likely be looking at around 6-8k for the motor for that kind of power. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mad Mike EP82 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 You would likely be looking at around 6-8k for the motor for that kind of power.Add another 10k to that 😂😂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Add another 10k to that 18k for an engine? It's only a little four cylinder, unless it's made of the finest gold from nazareth I agree by the time you add on suspension, brakes, mapping etc then yeah it's going to be about that.

abbott Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 18k for a 4e engine That would be a crazy price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mad Mike EP82 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 380++bhp engine under 2k self built 16k++ on everything else. Then after all that gearbox shits itself 😂😂😂 good luck.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
