w481ggc Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkystav Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Then why not go for the GTE head? its wide angled and has no VVTi as standard? not trying to criticise just a question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

w481ggc Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 looking good Dave another step going forward as usualone question: why a new engine, again ? thought you were forged and all dandy already 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
