BlackT5 Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Will end up with 20" Superlegra IIIs.Ohh shiiitt!! Now you're talking!How about some more engine details?Compression ratio, internals, valvetrain, cams, ems, turbo? very interested to see what turbo you chose and i can't wait to see the manifold etc..

Helmut Ranff Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Did you upgrade the cylinder walls or use a stronger cylinder sleeve. I ask as I have seen a S60 guys in Asiawith cracked casting between cylinders where it is thin where they touch like this O|O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One was resleaved and ringed, one is not. I don't belive the block itself would have any problems with propper tuning but could be wrong. I am pretty sure the cosworth engines used the same sleaves believe it or not. I will find out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't belive the block itself would have any problems with propper tuning but could be wrong. I am pretty sure the cosworth engines used the same sleaves believe it or not. I will find outI have been told this cracking problem is strictly harmonic in nature. If the engine is balanced it will not have harmonic problem. It appears these asians had a combination of overheating (you must run a 70-80 termostat) and this heat combined with less than great balancing so I do not think it is an issue for a well built complete engine job type motor Edited February 7, 2006 by Helmut Ranff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without knowing for sure though I would guess a lot of that would be due to poor tolerances, as you said, and poor quality material used at the factory, ie poor QC.

The same thing I had with my R except with my R I discovered the problem in time..The result with Kenneth's R was 30+ psi and what appeared to be a nice lean ignition while at it.With a good turbo and 500 HP I don't think you will see 30 psi. The ME 7's sensor can only read up to 22.33 psi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swedish Mike Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Darn, this is beautiful! I love the CF parts, DTM look. Shouldn´t be a problem to find sponsors. Thumbs up!/Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricF Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 What kinda RPM are you winding this thing out to? Imagine stock cams might hurt the potential if you're going to 8000+, but I don't know their specs and timing can make a nice difference...You know what you're doing, just wondering and rambling as usual.
