Back on the road after a taraka upgrade...wow!!!
Discussion
Well its been nearly 4 months since i blew my engine up.
It wasnt in good shape and the liners had all dropped so the
option were very limited so i took the plunge and had the full taraka upgrade done
by Dom. Everything on the engine was reworked,balanced and changed.
Initial thoughts are WOW!! It has so much torque right through the range and it is quick.
Still running it in before it goes back to power for a full set up and dyno, but i am impressed.
Need some more good weather now, to enjoy it..

Or my 363 (ATW) Chim. Shortly up for sale - just had a full remap by Austec, put my foot down when coming onto the motorway onramp when taking it home (3rd gear at around 60mph on R888's) and it THREW the back out and proceded to wheelspin all the way onto the motorway - absolutely savage acceleration

FFS Daz , you keep going on about 339BHP, but now it might be up for sale?It cant be that good !!!
I had to do something drastic and second hand 5ltr engines
are hard to come by, did get one quote but they wanted £4500 for it.
With no warranty, it was a no brainer, as tvr power put a 3 year warranty on the
taraka upgrades.
Hopefully should help sell it in the future if i need too.
My car was quick before i had it done, but now,the power is all through the range
and is very smooth with it.
900 miles to go now on running it in.

From Wikipedia:
Taraka is the name of a powerful demon who threatened to subjugate the world. He was able to grow so powerful because he had followed his austerities to such an extent that he became more powerful than the gods. Fearing his power, the gods went to Shiva, imploring him to help them against this terrible threat. Shiva created a champion, Karttikeya, to combat the foe. When he was ready, Karttikeya went forth and the two battled. Karttikeya was able to destroy the demon, and so rescued the world.
So where can I get the Karttikeya upgrade ?
