Look at what its sitting on...that should give you an idea?

[welshpug 1,621]

looks like an XU10J4RS attached to the crate frame, but the block is painted, so its not factory, PTS maybe?

[GTI6BOY 29]

I am allowed to tell all now so here go's

 

You are correct that its a BTCC engine.

 

It has a custom 40mm pin steel crank

 

Ultra lightweight rods

 

Ultra lightweight forged pistons

 

Touring car head

 

solid lifters

 

11mm lift cams

 

Mutli baffelled sump with multiple pick up points

 

In the post i have:

 

48mm jenveys

 

EFI managment

 

Flywheel

 

Cam pullys

 

And much more

That will be an absolute weapon when its done, how much power are you roughly aiming for?

[GTI6BOY 29]

It has been dyno'd at 275bhp and 85000rpm

[Baz 421]

Awesome.

 

What are you going to use it for?

[happygoron 2]

85000rpm

 

85000! Superbikes eat your heart out!

[Baz 421]

So what does it make at more realistic rev ranges??

[GTI6BOY 29]

when its in the car it will be mapped up so i can use it everyday.

[Peetypug 5]

very very very very very very very very nice

[Batfink 201]

whats the rebuild intervals on the heads? Really something that can be used everyday?

[GTI6BOY 29]

One of our friends has the 405 mi version which he uses everyday for the last year

[base-1 17]

Everyday?! You'll need to change more than just the map to run that all the time, and your neighbours will love you revving it with no load to warm it up before you drive it. Do you do more than say 4k a year?

 

Edit, slooooow

 

What does the inside of your mates look like by now? Probably not too hot? Or has he only done a couple of thousand miles in the last year?

Edited October 17, 2008 by base-1

[GTI6BOY 29]

Not fussed about neighbours to be honest as i have enough noisy cars as it is and im outside all the time. I will do more than 4k a year yes.

 

I dont know what you mean about my mates? but he drives it everywhere, track aswell, he has group n box which only go's up to 120mph

 

What ever happens will be fine as i work 1mile away so ride my bike anyways and will have one hell of a car for the weekends

[base-1 17]

If it's just a weekend car that's not so bad at all, when I said about the neighbours really with an engine like that you should warm it up before you start loading it up, which means revving in neutral which means noise!

surely these two posts are diametrically opposed? the btcc spec engines aren't exactly road tractable, or have you been swallowing some 306owners forum 'bttcc' bullsh*t?

[GTI6BOY 29]

We will just have to wait and see then wont we?

 

Longmans have said it will be fine on the road and i have seen others on the road so what the f*** has it got to do with the 306 forum?

[Guest spaghettifufanu]

Nice very nice . I knew the Rallye when James owned it . Gonna be a mental piece of kit .

[welshpug 1,621]

nice as it is, I cant see how it can be "mapped" for road use, unless you use different cams.

 

an engine in a particular state of tune will need the same amount of fuel and spark regardless of what its being used for!!

 

hence why resistor mods do sod all!!!!

Should be a nice build and go very well indeed,

 

PS, I know what the crank is

 

Slight off topic is why people go on about BTCC as it's all down to rules and Reg's, Much better & Powerfull engine's can be built outside of the BTCC spec and Rev upto 10k no problems, I say no problems but allot of maintenance

[Batfink 201]

its a nice 'off-the-shelf' option at Longmans though so its easy to buy. Though i'd seriously talk rebuilds with Longman as I was offered a touring car camshaft set and turned it down due to the regular maintenance needed with the head.

I'm sure it will be a cracker though:D

Last time I spoke with Richard about BTCC engines/Race Engines vs. clubman engines that can be driven on the road the difference was camshaft and where the injectors are placed. I understood that to get 275bhp such as those in the cox's cars the injectors had to be placed infront of the trumpets, thus making them not applicable for the road as fuel would piss on the tarmac... but with injectos placed midway down the inlet manifold and 'rally' cams, 240-250bhp is the marker. Same head design though. The difference is in the cams and placement of the injectors and mapping to allow for this difference. This was my understanding anyway.

[GTI6BOY 29]

I have spoken about all these factors and i am happy with the rebuild costs ect

 

James lumley has a similar engine and gets 274bhp with the injectors in the manifold i think so we will have to see?

[welshpug 1,621]

big difference is that james uses his for rallying and it has new shells every other rally
