You have a PM :)
Pistons, rods, tool steel wrist pins, upgraded ARP rod bolts, ACL bearings, Ferrea Valvetrain...RS4 injectors are fine for GT3071 setup which will give you 500hp...
Im lost with compression aswell. I have pretty much the same spec as the op but will be keeping at Revo stage 2+ 360bhp just looking for extra reliability.
I was looking at this product http://www.intengineering.com/20T-FSI-JE-Pistons-IE-p8773514-1-2.html and also some ARP head studs. Would this be ok with an otherwise standard engine and normal stage 2+ software.
What about valves i dont need to do these do i, i've no plans on going big turbo so im guessing not?
Or should i be going for something with less compression as there the same price or would that not work with the map :confused:
Cheers Rob
well rob im not one for giving advice, but if your not going for any more power than you have already your engine should be ok for the power your running! otherwise you would be spending money for nowt, im only going for the lower compression of 9.5.1 because im going to be running a bigger turbo, and the engine is not up to the 500+ horses i want, and i wont be using a gt3071 yosh thanks for the advice, but im going down a diffrent route, t4 and twin scroll im goin to keep the rest a secret for now! ....where abouts in yorkshire are you from rob,h im in bradford, cheers troy.....:D
Im from halifax mate and im just doing it for reliability as quite a few stage 2+ engines have gone now and needed new engines.
well then rob it would be a good move, then if you do decide to go a step further later on, its ready for the extra power and you have piece of mind at your current state of tune ! its always nice to know that there is extra potential if wanted....:D im just wating now for bits to order. where did you get your car mapped anyway mate if you dont mind me asking?? and have you had any clutch issues??
you might be right yosh!! lol it should be here by next week, then downpipe and manifold can be made and things can really get moving
I got mine done at the racing line in Halifax its a Revo dealer.
Yeah my clutch is getting replaced with a helix clutch kit very soon.
nice one i use rs tuning in leeds rob, they are also a revo dealer, but i dont use revo on my car. custom mapping by paul he is the daddy and wouldnt take it any where else for the mapping! i would recomend them to any one! get your car down there for a power run, thats if ur clutch will hold out mate:D back to the thread, dave at intergrated sent me the last pice of my jigsaw to my email address the other day so i wil be making my order for bits in the next few days from now.. carnt wait:D
Troy keep me posted on progress on the EFR mate!
still waiting for my turbo to come !!! theres been a setback with the turbos apparently there having problems with the twin scroll t4 exh housing but have told us the end of the month .... we will have to see!!!!
