Confused monkey have you been back in touch with suppliers about the new low numbers??

[ArticMonkey]

Sent an email today and will hear back tomorrow. Told them we are looking to close it at the end of the month.

A conversation with Vocky today means I'm edging ever closer to being in on this one guys.

 

There's a part of me that would get a peverse sense of pleasure from running a VX220 with a Saab engine. Think I may stick at 2.0, rather than 2.2, and stick with 270ish bhp?

But then you would have to mod more like external trigger loom I was going to ask mr vocky if it would be possible to do a 2.4 version

Neil didn't suggest running the engine a 2.0-litre would be a problem.

 

Supposedly bolt in trigger wheel neeeded, but pistons etc could stay the same - just need the LSJ cams. I'd like to think that circa 270-280bhp would be enough, and with decent manifold and exhaust etc that should be easy enough.

 

Maybe I'm wrong, but that's the impression I got from Neil.

You could see more like 300+ IMO going on what the Dutch boys are doing. Ow and price for 4 engines will be £825+vat (£990)

I think it's a bit more involved but is a option

Thanks Chill.

All depends how you're getting on with my pistons prices.

Exmantaa has an out of the box lsj doing 280 on an M62, running on full lsj ecu.

His buddy has a 2.0 mixed block, also running lsj ecu and harrop. (somewhere between 330 and 350)

 

Plan is to do a few more this winter, including mine.

Myself (and maybe more) will be using the obdtuner, so either z22se cracktrigger emulation, or somehow get a z22se cracktrigger into the B207.

Sorry been trying to sort cams out to will drop them a email Shouldn't be a big issue might be worth selling the rods and getting a new set. Surely there is someone who wants a set of rods for there z22se

[ArticMonkey]

[ArticMonkey]
