Hi Chris

I wanted to be a bit different from the norm and find out for myself what these engines can do i thought it would be a good idea to use the best quality parts as possible and show customers what you can do and make it neat and well designed at the same time but you have to be a bit as well

Hi Chris

Basically the same block etc etc i have already had the same idea as well with a RWD

Russ how much more is left in the engine?? could you run say 700-800-900bhp out of one on race fuel???

Just wondering if the Ford guys are ever going to start to move over to these units instead of the Cossies.

How much do the 5 pot White blocks weigh??

Cheers

Hi Chris

I have a contact in sweeden that has run there 850 engine up to 842 bhp on race fuel for the spec of my engine i think 600-650 on race maybe more I am learning alot about the engine and how it makes its power,its my first attempt at this so will see how far i can go

As far as i know mine is already the highest proven bhp/torque in the uk

I have already had a few inquire's from st owners about the engine I am sure the market will grow judging by how many st's you see on the road

I will check out the weight at some point

Hi Chris

I am sure i could build a 800-1000 bhp volvo engine with out a problem with the right budget its an open deck engine but there are mods to do to strenghten the block

The Scooby engine has a major problem the crank looks more like an accordian

Hi Lee

I would think hard about fitting a dump valve fit one only if you like the noise and can live with a slower throttle response

Russ, just a quick question, is there any reason it took soo long to spool the GT35 on the T5 engine?? also the graph looks increadably peaky. is that just the scale of the graph or what??

dont want to take anything away form the car. just compearing it to other things out there.

Hi Chris

No problem to answer any questions the graph does not look correct because at the time i just wanted to see what was happening at my current spec
Its a long way from finished it was just a test i have had many comments made on the various volvo forums i have put it on a few from the internet experts the problems i have found that when you start to do something different from the norm the haters come out if i had kept it all off the web people would of said its blown up etc etc

Russ

[chuntington101]

Russ i ment no offence, i think its an amazing piece of work.

yes you get those people everywhere im affraid. they know it all and dont like people messing around or trying new ideas. i think you just need to forget about them and do what you want! and clearly 535bhp is much better than what they have. lol

what are your plans for the engine now then?? any more upgrades/mods??

Cheers

Chris.

Hi Chris

No offence taken it was not aimed at you They will not stop me I am constantly updating many items and ideas thats why its taken much much longer than was planned I will soon have my new cams then once a few more mods come together i will be driving and enjoying it for a while

Russ

[chuntington101]

Hi Chris

All i have done from last time is added N/A cams but they lost me 10 bhp over last time i added race fuel this time as i wanted to see how the engine reacted to it ;-)



Whos the company ??

Russ

[chuntington101]

it was Z-Cars. they where talking about using the 2.0 ltr version in the MINIs. they are much cheaper than the Vetch units and offer just as much power....

[morgrp]

Love it Love it LOVE IT! - I am rather disturbingly in love with your car - Where do you source your performance parts? I can barely find any for my T5
