Good insurance really if your fitting forged pistons. Atleast you won't have to rip it apart when you want more power.

Yeah I think I will go with the forged rods aswell as pistons, don't fancy £500 pistons being turned into paper weights if a rod fails.
Cheapest I've found the budget rods is 330 including arp bolts meant to be £110 so yeah really the rods are only 220 ish

And that made me laugh hah, may aswell be a leaf blower but I bet yours will be faster as I'll still be spooling

Not really a figure in mind, just trying to get the most out of it with driveabilty and reliabilty as a compromise. Guestimating around 200 ponys.
Haha, point taken, I won't be stopping by lag-central

Was thinking about getting a couple of 90 degree reducer bends but I don't think it will do any good for the flow.

I'm not being an arse - I'm telling you from experience. I tried the same intercooler the very first time.
On the plus side, if you now go for a gt2 intercooler with 2.5" pipework it'll look like a piece of cake to fit lol

Will have a go at routing the 3” pipes, but if that fails I think my brother wants to buy it for his landrover. So will resort to a smaller cooler and pipe work.
Will see where I can go with them when the engine gets put in.

Okay progress is as slow as ever as I'm full of cold and have a new lass so spending more time texting/seeing her than my project which isn't good haha.
However got my stack gauges wired up except my oil temp asit doesn't work :/ don't know if its my sensor (the blue plugged sensor under the stat housing) butit works when I put my water temp sensor onto the same gauge, any ideas ?
And. Also found some bigger brakes 406 brembos so got to work and stripped them and painted them. Replaced all the bolts with stainless. Also got new disks from a xantia v6 283mm so won't squel
Oh and I got around to sandblasting my gearbox aswell looks like new but will be painting it to prevent it corroding

just a heads up for people going for the brembo brakes
Okay been asked as to what disks to run, there is a couple of threads going around providing good information but there is confusion with the size and part number.
The callipers themselves fit direct onto saxo struts but you need bigger disks which are 283mm.
I read in a thread that the part number is SBG2690 but when I went to purchase some disk this code was not legit. It is BG2690.
Hope this helps

3" IC piping is not needed, just run 2.5" and get 2 sillicone reducers on the IC

Progress is at its slowest but have finally found some forged pistons so they will be coming soon,
Loosing motivation on the car and its making things even harder as I'm currently jobless, and no jobs going in my area
