Right, I am capable of rebuilding an engine, but I just havn't got the time to do it. So please no posts saying, its easy just do it yourself, I'm not in the situation where I can.
I want an engine that can take some abuse round a track, but still get me home at the end of the day, I'm not after big power numbers, quicker than the standard engine, I dont want massive lag so the turbo can't be silly big.
I'm after advice/experiance of people to help me spec the engine and find a company to build and fit it, its not a blank cheque engine tho.
Different cam needed?
Forged pistons?
Forged rods?
under piston oil spray?
Roller bearing?
knife edge crank?
lightened and balanced?
ok these are the usual things you hear bantered about but do you actually need them for a reliable engine? Could a basic rebuild and decent turbo provide what i need, or do you really have to go belts and braces for an engine?
the 2 usual companys bbtunning and ktec are around £1500 fitted, not including turbo for the basic engine, upto around £3000.
Turbo specs to suit the engine aswell, only experiance ive had with a different turbo is a friend many years ago on his r5, the standard turbo was great, but didnt last long at 14 psi, he got a md84r or somthing, was a t25 and you could tell it had alot more lag.
Anyway any help please.
