tsr pack A???

Just for information, had an email from cnc heads and yes they do do a head for the abf, although not shown on their website.
head = £1050
big valves = £400
cams = £500
And another £100 for an infill to the injector holes if you run throttle bodies.

Now I have a starting budget!

£1950  is it ever worth it.

Oh and have just quoted 278bhp @ 8500 rpm on a 2160cc block!

Hmmmm we'll see! Bit sceptical about those figures!

[paultownsend]

which retard quoted those figures? a mapped bam with ko4 struggles to make that.
210 is the max upper limit with on any 16v head without some sort of forced induction. and what bottom end will tke 8500k?
and after the machining, pistins, rods, bolts you wont have much change 2.5k. forget a bos that'll handle or put down the power

Has already been said that cnc tend to exagerate figures!

That actually adds up to £2050.

The pertinent word was budget! In my world a budget is never exceeded and to be considered as maximum spend.

Worth? Well I wouldnt go out and buy a brand new Golf gti and lose 4 grand in 6 months!
So its all relative.

I can't see why anyone would spend that much money on a 16v lump unless it was for competition use and to fit within regs. There are far cheaper ways of getting that kind of power.

Thank you, someone with sense.

[Len]

Why? Because I can, because I want to. Sense has no bearing on it.

If money was an issue I wouldnt have spent what I have already.

You actually considering spending that kind of cash on your motor then?

I mean yeah fine it's your money and all that but tuning a ABF to within an inch of it's life for that much money compared to a mild fettle and an eaton charger doesn't make sense other than the "because I can" argeument which is lame.
