be a nice stepping stone actaully

yeah danny i know hes not gonna get those figures from that turbo, but i say he'll EASILY get over 200bhp without pushing it too much

thats alot for any car never mind a 1.4 lump though, with that sort of power and how light this car is going to be, its going to be seriously quick car

edit- ..... actually what turbo is that? i thought you had a gt2860.. but that doesnt look like one?

GT25 am using mate.

Problem with the engine is that am using hi comp pistons and its causing to much problems so has the conrods. going to just get a complete new set and start over.

Power wise. Anything over 200bhp i will be happy with.

yeah, i thought you may have issues with them tbh

never mind, least if you get some proper low comps in you wont have worries of blowin the h/g or decomp on higher boost

less chance of future probs, i see you having no probs getting 200bhp either tbh

I haven't had any luck with the pistons and rods so decided going to ditch them and get a set made.

Running a standard engine is a good example to what power i will get before putting proper engine in.

Modified 16v rods. Doubt they would mate as i had to modify them even more.

blackie_2k5 · 7th October 2011, 20:40

ahhh i see, 16v rods would fit mine, but not if youve brutalised them

what exactly did you do? i was under then impression the 1400 had a shorter stroke aswell?

I bought them and pistons from a COMPANY and the part of the rod that bolts to the crank was wider than the bore. Had to modify them so there slightly smaller than the bore so they can be fitted.

Went to time up the engine and crank kept locking. Tried a few things and ended up lifting the head to find out the pistons at its highest point is hitting the head and that's with a decomp fitted also.

blackie_2k5 · 7th October 2011, 21:09

so hes made them "slimmer" at the base? or has fitted chunkier shells? not quite sure what you mean by them being smaller lol

thats a bit shit tbh, you spoke to them? would have thought he'd know they were diff.. i hope you get a refund or something mate

EDIT- or is the base of the rod arm actually hitting the bse of the bore because of the size of it? so hes machined a bit out to clear it?

fairmorn308 · 7th October 2011, 21:15

The bores are for example 80mm the widest point on the conrod was 81mm. Means piston wont fit thru the bore.

blackie_2k5 · 7th October 2011, 21:19

yeah i think i worked it out on the edit^^

as said i hope you get it sorted, is the car in paint yet?

Devis · 7th October 2011, 21:19

Yes, Ready for collection in 7 days time

Already made a start to remove a spare engine out of a car this afternoon and will have it all ready and built by time shell returns so no delays that side of things

Yes mate same as you. Hoping to get car up and running by or around end of the month

blackie_2k5 · 7th October 2011, 22:01

nice, andy's work is highly reccomended, i think i need to go forged and get him to do a "final" map of mine

, be nice to see someone whos got a a balls out set up running pred, will give good feedback from both ends of the budget scale

if you havent already, ask him about the electronic boost control, he briefly went into it with me, something for me to look into for the future, would be really handy on your build

and help get the best out of your set up

fairmorn308 · 7th October 2011, 22:11

Talked to him the other night regarding it and fingers crossed i can get andy up to map mine before i get on the track.

fairmorn308 · 8th October 2011, 20:57

Tonight i started to look out a few looms i have bought to try get the best one for my conversion. I started with a Roland Garros 1.4 8v loom and it looks like its perfect for what am needing. Just need to double check a few plugs but everything is there for what i was needing.

blackie_2k5 · 8th October 2011, 23:21

you got a turbo came mate?
