Tbh even budjets would be better than driving round with cracked tyres or ones with visible defects. Part works are a minefield, so be careful, they are usually off a car for good reason rsp in this day and age, which means you are likely buying off a wrecked car or they are below the markers but still legal. The Verdenstuens or whatever they are called are well praised and very well priced. I've got a pair of Achilles ATR sport in 265/35/18r which cost me £150 yes for the pair lol, yes new. They're pretty good comparable to say falkens and very similar to look at, they arnt going to be best but in dry weather they're better than ok, certainly better than the pzeros I had with 2mm left.

Want to give me 400 of those 1800hp's lol

Thanks for your detailed response, I under that better now.

Yeah bit of a shitter, I will sort something out though. Fortunately my good mate Gary is pretty resourceful and encouraging between the two of us I'm sure we will work out a solution.

Yeah that's an option I've been looking at, problem is it's a late spec NA which means the oil pump if it's an na one isn't convertible it will need replacement. By the time I've brought a gasket kit, rings and bearings I'm rotting up a bit of a bill even without labour, it would also be a bit of a bodge. Or I can buy a replacement block for less money but there's more risk, as it might be fubar too.

Just loop the CC out as if you were deleting it then retest.

He is on lates mate so wont be back till late

Lol yup I want it out now and in the bench. Patience though as I need to carefully plan my next move. Haste makes mess.

Sadly the worse suspicions came true, it's an NA block.

I'm actually glad they didn't make that it's not to my tastes. It looks like lots of ideas that just don't fit together, like one if those weird Chinese designed super cars. It looks like a cross between a z32 and an NSX with a bit of Ferrari thrown in for good measure. They quite obviously liked the rear lights, as it looks like they dig them out the bin for the s14. Is it not one of the ideas they thought if for the z32 looks very similar.

Wouldn't that just be a waste of time, disable a wastegate to leave it tgere taking up space to add another furtheralong. Surely to gain from the scenarioyou would have to have a custom not intergrated gate exhaust comp hosing?

Just putting out the feelers due to a recent discover, it's not a forgone conclusion just yet. Il know soon but I may be looking for a replacement long block. Anyone got a twin turbo long block available? I don't need any ancillaries, not even a fly wheel. Preferably in the southern half of the UK below say Birmingham, I'd be prepared to travel for the right block at the right price, looking for a cheap fix to get me through till I can afford a rebuild.

Agreed, it would be illogical to go that far and not change the bearings.

Right so does this mean that in normal instances ie acceleration, the lean condition created by the stock fuel method causes no issue as power is taken away from the driveline as you will changing gear anyway. The only time the Ignition cut method is of use is when you are expecting to hold on that limit, for example drift cars where they will hold the gear and bounce off the limiter.

Yup that's the wastegate there on the right, once the actuator sees the pressure required it pushes thus flap open, the excess gasses then pass through here limiting the speed the turbine is spinning. It's likeca diverter valve it literally wastes off the air. Very simple really.

Bet it's driving you potty running it on gently. Just wanna give it some lol.

Lovely pics there Richard, Cotswolds are lovely. I was in Broadway few weeks back beautiful village.

That's the one :) tt pistons have a little oil week in them aswel for extra cooling. Hopefully it is a TT bottom end.

Wonderful lol, I'm picking up a bore scope from gaz on Tuesday to check them :) bloody car, I've gone beyond annoyed now back to laughter and industrious let's sort it out attitude.

Exhaust valves are a different material, all cams are the same aside from TT auto cams which have 8 degrees less duration, it's to reduce lag times and put less stress on the trans apparently. Bottom end is pretty similar only the pistons, wrist pins and oil squirters differ. The pistons for TT are labeled 30p1 and are domed, na pistons have a pronounced step and larger groves for the valves labeled 30p. Not to be confused with the 30p label on early NA heads which later became 10y, the TT heads are labeled 40p and later 48p. ;) I've been reading

It's pretty simple sale of goods act stuff, however time is on their side :( that engine doesn't look anything like what I was sold with all the deletes and new parts. It's looking like I might have na heads on a TT block, gotta check the piston stamps. Tax ran out today, so winter bed time now. Probably just drive it next season till it let's go as I can't afford to rebuild it right now. Unless I find a cheap replacement block in which case il throw that in over winter.

Haha, both those cars are common as hell over here. I tell you what il swap you a TransAM for a 206 sound fair?

Tbh Gary I also think that, they will probably just turn round and say price it's the same engine etc. Plus the ignorance of the system, you paid for a 300zx engine, that's what you got is it not? I can see it now. I need to be 110% what I've got and them go from there, that engine smokes in any event

It was about 4 years ago, I do still have the orginal advert, receipt and various emails regarding my complaints as to how it was fitted and there behaviour etc. They are still trading.
