Cant wait to get em' on! :clap:

May be selling/breaking the engine - still yet to decide on what to do! If your after high quality engine parts watch this space.. :(
 
Should deffinately be good for sub 60, my best was 62 round knockhill with a standard b16b with bolt ons!

Wheels are nice :)

Thanks, fronts are 8" 27et and rears 7" 30et - quite chuffed with them.
Yeah thinking either a std k20 with the normal bolt on's and a map, or... Supercharged k20 :-o

More specifically thinking of stevens k20, but i'd hate to break such a minter - i'd probably cry lol

Have you thought about K24? :nerv:

since you probz enjoy the intense torque with your current setup, K24 could make ~200lbs ft and more if the bottom end is built

Graham on the Jordan forum is making 255HP 193lbsft at the hubs with a built bottom end and standard DC5 head. So like nearly 300bhp N/A.

Gerrys EG with standard bottom end with CTR/EP3 head IIRC made 245bhp and 200lbs ft.

OR could sleeve K20 to 2.2 maintaining the higher rev limit, that would also be sick haha.


EDIT: yes! stevie9er's is defo a good buy, his box is immense and everything 9er ever bought was the best **** available.
 
Still getting the will wood kit? I've got the same wheels and mine didn't clear the callipers......

Yours have the same 27 / 30 offset too mate? These cleared alcons, which are a big bigger than the wilwoods.

Not sure of the offset buddy, they fit like std wheels if that's any help.
 
As 689R said if you are going K, k24 is a nice way to go. I was building one which would have been over 300hp n/a which is insane.
 
I'm sticking with a stnd K20a2 for now lol.

Well, started afresh... Completely stripped the bay, de-rusted the areas, primed, resprayed it, fully undersealed it - so no reason it shouldnt last.

Got the subframe and front suspension in, all thats left is brake/fuel lines to be plumbed in and my big brake kit from freaky parts - however he seems to of disspeared..

Should get the engine in later on today - then time to start stripping the interior paint.

Few pictures of progress, havnt taken many as Ive been to busy on the car lol. :((
