Almost Finished

Is the new cylinder head from SPC Horsham still going on it ? Will that be at the same time as the turbo ?

Hi Steviewevie , i have been running the new cylinder in my car for a few weeks now and have noticed that it picks up at about 4000 with a lot more grunt :) , the turbo will be fitted in the summer :D

[janey]

Glad to hear things are going well Dave, look forward to seeing it again :D

[w481ggc]

nice one dude will it be ready for japfest on the 16th?

Hi Nathan , sadly it wont have the turbo or supercharger on , but i have got the SPC big valve head and racing hot sticks on , so im just running with no induction at all , see you there :D

[w481ggc]

More power So your going for the 450bhp+ next mate? That'll be some serious motor when its sorted :D

Good luck with it Dave and look forward to catching up soon mate :D

Hi Chris , yes mate i'm hoping 450bhp plus :) , i'm having Wayne at SPC horsham build me a special engine for the turbo setup i'm having , so i will just have to swap engines and cylinder head , know any one who wants my old engine ? :D

[sparkystav]

The one built by TDi?

Dont think they'll be much of a queue LOL

sounds a great project though Dave Good luck.

[Steviewevie]

Sounds great Dave, have you tried it on the dyno to see what the new cylinder head is giving ?

i think they are going to do a test befor they fit the turbo and release the figures then , but when i'm not shure .

The snail's name is Gt 30 roller bearing and he was sitting next to a Big Head :D

[sparkystav]

Are you keeping the VVTi or ditching it now?

[w481ggc]

Are you keeping the VVTi or ditching it now?

stav

Might be ditching it as its main job was to look after emissions

[sparkystav]

Then why not go for the GTE head? its wide angled and has no VVTi as standard?

not trying to criticise just a question.

i'm interested in what the standard engine is capable of , in the future i might go down the hi-bred route and put the 2jz in .

[Bazza]

looking good Dave another step going forward as usual

one question: why a new engine, again ? thought you were forged and all dandy already

[Steviewevie]

Are the rods and pistons part of the stroker kit that was mentioned a while back ?

[Saraj]

looks good mate this is going to be a beast !

Hi Bazza , at the moment i have removed the supercharger and runing no induction at the moment , but i am runing the new big valve head with the new racing camshafts that tdi said could'nt be done , i am going for the new forged pistons and rods because the rods are lighter and have been made off-set and the pistons have special oil holes , the block will have a special oil spray system similar to the 2jz , will be increasing the oil pressure to :D

Hows it feel with the new head fitted Dave? :)

[w481ggc]

Well with no charger fitted its slow :D , it feels like its got more grunt and from about 4000 it picks up even more .
