Going to have a good look at it at work.
Its a work of art (not), I think paper is thicker than the metal used on it. | |

- peril, you can't beat displacement, that why the GtR is 3.8 litres and also why AndyF went for a 3.0 block, it's all about torque.
I could of gone 2.35 with a 2.2 closed deck and 2.5 crank, like steveBt has, but I think my car produces more torque than his. Mine is only producing low torque as the power was turned down as I desperately need a swirlpot and a fuel cooler. The car was running 640bhp/610lbs but was wound back till I have the things in place plus th3e figure was on Zens roller which notoriously read low. I have had te 2.5ltr block but think the 2.35 is the better route as less chance of it shitting its self. Plus I think its harder to reach your figure on a 2.5ltr block. Mine was making about 580lbs on the 2.5ltr but the turbo runs out of puff at around 6k rpm where as with the 2.35 it just seems to keep pulling. Plus don't go down the linered route or they will drop or crack at the power your hoping to get. | |

Thats why I have gone down the bore strengthing route, with the 16 dowls in the water ways at the top of the block to stop the bores from moving, which seems to be happening with high boost. What turbo are you running?? | |

| gt35/82 on a .82 housing now but I think the .63 is the far better spooling housing. You do realise pushing for 600bhp your race rom won't do you any favours. | |

| Rob, thats right my car is now running speed density via the Racerom just the same as a simtek, syvec or other aftermarket ECUs do, so I cant understand how racerom wont work.
If your car has an ecutek map on it, I would highly recommend the Racerom the car feels so much better to drive and more responsive. before things went tits up. | |

NO. its not the 9k rev limit that people do the 2.35 for the internals are under less stress than the 2.5 and they can make them more responsive than a 2.5 (depends on other components ie inj,turbo,etc) just look at Andyf's 9's car which is a 2.4 or the latteral banana 2.35, Zen's is a 2.35 not a lot run 2.5 maxwell 2.35 [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]gc8 2.35 [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] | |

Very well, ask MAXBOOST. In my opinion the 2.5 is a fantastic fast road engine but doesn't last 5 mins as a race engine at 600+hp due to the physics of the engine design, the cylinder walls are far too thin to handle 600+bhp (that's OVER 150hp per cylinder (from 625cc  ) for any length of time and eventually split. Strengtheners can be fitted that will most likely hold together in a road engine but given the high pressures and temperatures of a race engine and its a ticking time bomb, not what you need if you want to be competitive. The 2.35 is the best of both worlds using a 2.2 CDB (closed deck block) and a 2.5 crank, this gives the largest cc engine available with a very strong block that won't split at high pressures. If the race boys could get a reliable 2.5cc engine at 600+ believe me they would use it! All IMHO 2.2 CDB- [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]2.5 semi CDB- [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] | |

| Yip agree with ya jonny, but people tend to think the 2.35 route is a bit of a slouch, If they'd done there homework they'll find they anything but | |
