The Village Idiot Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 What I can't understand is why you didn't take the sage advice given to you and get that well known paragon of all things great of an engine - the VX - for your car. It would have produced more horsepower for half the price and has done so for 25 years. Still that's why I'm an idiot I'm just not clever enough to understand why something that cost £75K in a touring car can now be had for £4k and still be brilliant .

The Village Idiot Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 No it's gone, it rusted away So are you telling me that despite what other people say, the VX is NOT the only tuneable engine out there - well I'll be blowed all these years I was told there was only one alter to worship act The Village Idiot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racing Snake Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 About time i got the YOB sorted Has anyone got a set of SBD's High Spec throttle Bodies (TP-DURA-2.0L-K3) on their car ? Sounds like they are the way to go Mad Hatter The Dura Mentalist 😬 Carl @ Penn 7's Caution - May Contain Nuts ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pikey Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I was speaking to track & Road the other day and he was telling me how SBD has managed to get over 300 bhp out a 2.0 D with a standard crank and not so wild cams. So I'm sure they will perform well but they might look a bit strange because the filter backplate/clips looks like it could be on the outside of the bonnet??

Racing Snake Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 Just been chatting to Steve at SBD as i am going for his high spec taper throttle bodies He suggested tuning the ram pipe lengths for max power at 8000 rpm With the extra torque it should be going like a bat out of hell by 8000 rpm, which would be a safe/conservative redline Mad Hatter The Dura Mentalist 😬 Carl @ Penn 7's Caution - May Contain Nuts !
