Not bad atall steve. Hoping to have mine finished this week.

[steveobes]

car is still at lees,need oil and filter change.
no fuel issues
oil and water temps lower than before rebuild
power comes in really low down
so happy with all thats been done
Just need to put some new rubber on rear

[steveobes]

Just to add some specs on rebuild
cotworth forged pistons
custom longer rods
stronger valve springs
ported inlets
re profiled valves
balaced
lower commpession

gt 28 turbos
upgraded clutch
new rear loom
oil cooler
remote oil filter

Sounds good Steve but be careful 2.5 don't like more than 1 bar boost !!!!

[steveobes]

Hopfully with lower compression from 9.37 to 8.32 this will help

I'm trying to get round it in my head how at the same boost I'm so much more down on yours Steve. Re profiled valves and porting along with the lower compression is the difference. Could it be just the 28's?

I'm not sure how true this is but I'm told its not what boost your running but the power its making that will take the head gasket out on the 2.5?

So if at 1.1bar and running 450 or running 0.8 bar but 450 then the head is still under the same pressure?

Dont really know,not as clever as some of you lot but im getting good power even at 0.9 bar
0.9 bar = 319 atw

Thats interesting as I'm about the same and at max power my boost is around 0.9 also?

What are you at the wheels on 1 bar?

cant be sure as graph when showing boost only gives atw figures
1.2 bar =362
0.9 bar =319
atw

This kind of chat makes me more devasted than ever that some f***er is probably driving my Nob around in eastern Europe somewhere with a load of Ray West's tools in the footwell.

Next thing to rub salt in the wound will be a sunny bank holiday weekend to really rub in my lack of Noble in Hampshire for the weekend showing bikers how to drive properly fast
