right!!! ive just started stripping down my spare engine to rebuild, im wanting the sort of mods to get me a decent bit of poke
i have an idea of what is needed but would like to hear your tried a tested upgrades to the c1j
over the next mth or so i should have some wedge coming 2 me and dont wanna get raped on parts etc that aint gonna make much of a difference to the old bhp.
so far a cam is on the cards!
what else guys and gals??
efi
Keep it simple, a stock bottom end with the right turbo, charge cooling and exhaust can make 180-190bhp
my bottom end is standard and made 181 at the fly, id say keep it standard, get a bigger turbo, larger downpipe/elbow, alloy intercooler, lightened flywheel and heavy duty clutch, phase 1 fuel pump, and carb set up to match
havent looked at your profile, im going on from a standard car
how much has that set you back richie??Originally Posted by RICHIE

erm still counting. the expensive parts are the standalone ecu and the fabrication of the manifold unless you can do this yourself.
any headwork mate? i have a few of the mods, got a t25, fmic, 19 16v fuel pump,
lightened flywheel.
def not somethin i could knock up in the shed myself matey
just a gasflowed head from ep motorsport, i forget what stage it is lmao! i call it bonus stage!
My old white 5 was pretty sweet, standard engine, T28 & FMIC as fueling set up for 18psi... 176bhp with 170lb torque... ran sweet as!!
Where as my old grey 5 had 285 cam, head work, low comp, lightened & balanced crank/fly & clutch etc... cost a fortune... not worth the £'s for the gains tbh...

have a word with ipswich see how much his manifold was to make up. michael tierney sells the same as the one im using if your interested.
laggy???
may put a call in2 a local engine specialist and see if he can fix me up with a bonus stage head then!

id still say go for a light flywheel, they aint that expensive(i have one here for £50) but you will still need a stronger clutch to cope with more power and torque
again i havent looked at your profile, going on standard car
also regarding the efi if its somrthing you are thinking of scoff is running this site and has all parts available to give you an idea of prices

good carb set up
fmic
t28

Std crank, L B flywheel, standard liners and pistons, std head and ports and manifolds, standard venturi, Uprated cam and springs, pulley, t28, fmic.... got me 114mph traps and with gas 120mph (25hp grain)....
All you need for a decent engine is a decent set up and correct balance of tuning parts....
exactly whats going in my car minus the crazy-gas
ive noticed most folks are going with the t28's , now ive gone in on the group buy for the stainless downpipe & elbow and will be planning on fitting a t25. Can as much power be had from these . ?
t28 for ultimate power...t25 for town drivability...
ah hmm. Maybe the downpipe with flange for T2/t25 was a bad idea. Ah well ordered it now, sure ill make do with a T25.
