Tidgy Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 so, after some contemplation and ongoing discussions decided to change engine options. Origional plan was 2.1 closed deck block, but decided to go down the 2.5 route. Being a road car the low down grunt of the 2.5 will make it alot more responsive and at 450bhp 450+ftlb its gonna make an epic road engine :-) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Shame about the 2.1 but plan b doesn't sound so bad :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Plan b is a great alternative - you can still get cdb 2.5 options though so bhp can still be had but not as high revs vs a 2.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 it's more a case of whats gonna give me the best road car. 2.1 cdb is a couple quid more so in the grand scheme sod all cost difference, is been a choice to go 2.5. Cost would jump up for a cdb 2.5 but for a road car do you really need 500 or is it just pub talk? I had 390 in my hawk and how fast it built speed was amazing, take off 200kg add and extra 50-80bhp and it will go like an absolute rocket.

Those figures / ratios are more than enough to get you into trouble ;) - great approach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savage bulldogs Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Nice shiny bits tidge[emoji4] Are you going to keep the 2.5 twin scroll set up ? Or single scroll with a 2ltr sump ? Either way it will be a rapid classic bud, nice choice [emoji106] Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 type r is single scroll, so no twin scroll to keep :) combined with sc46+ there is little to no reasons for the extra expence of twin scroll, this was my old hawk 2.5 given its got uprated headers and up pipe, which that didnt, should hopefully pull the spool lower even more :D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoozyDave Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 that graph looks great, 400lb at 3k rpm B) looking at the big shiny parts, the conrods look very manly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
