Few questions for a fresh build! Please!

[bradz]

Im Just about to finish my build of:

7m-GTE:
Toga Bearings
Fully balanced
Shot peend rods
Knife edged crank
JE +.40 pistons
Stage 2 cams (272)
New valves etc
Ajustable cam gears
Unordox Pulley
Solid mounts
EGR Removed
Fidanza Flywheel
6puck clutch

I want to hit 500wrhp....

Would you agree with a HKS 2.0mm Bead headgasket?

Also are the bolt on intercoolers going to be any good? or do I need to go FMIC with a FFIM?

Many Thanks for your help in advance!

Regards

Adam

Just so you know, those mods arent gonna give you 500whp. It may give you the foundation for those numbers but without a bigger turbo and more fuel, it wont happen.

The head gasket should be determined according to how much surface was taken off the deck and the head, and your static compression ratio.

Yerp I know that, Still undecided on what turbo & going to go standalone managment with bigger injectors,

Just want somone to confirm H/g is going to be the right choice & If I can run a bolt on Intercooler

If you are using the Unordox Pulley on the crank then i would go back to stock pulley, Unordox Pulley is not a dampener = Bad vibrations.

Have a look at the Spearco IC on driftmotion - cheap and will do a far better job than the stock one IMHO.

I was going to ask - how come you're going for .40 oversize? Is your block that bad?

As for the turbo - well....how about a 57trim CT26 to start off with, shim the wastegate (or get an electronic boost controller) to 12/13psi with the Lexus AFM and 550's - see what numbers you get. Obviously, cause you're in the UK (like me), theres no requirement for the catalytic converter, so if you get a full 2.5" or 3" back system with a new turbo elbow or downpipe, you'll see much faster spool as well.

Once you've done that - rolling road it. Theres a place not far from Bedford, round the M25 near the M40 interchange, place in Uxbridge called Power Engineering - they charge £45 for a dyno run last time i checked.

You *should* be making at least 350rwhp with those mods. Your block can certainly handle it!

I was on the understanding the bigger the pistons the better....

Haha 350hp is no way enough.... Need to have 450.. at the very minimum! Already Running a c26 hybrid & Mongoose full system with no Cats

No - you should always go for the smallest overbore you can get away with - these engines dont really give any gain if you overbore them.

If you're running a hybrid and full turbo back exhaust, with those mods and the boost turn up, you should see more than that as i was under the assumption you were still running the stock tubbie. However, to get the most out of your setup you really should think about a turbo like the SP61GT or Garrett T4. Bondango should be able to sort you out with a T4

And if you get rid of your CT26 - i've got notes waitin
