TB42 All Motor

[Neesmo31]

Hey all been talking to a lad on another forum who may be helping me through an all motor build on my TB42.

If anyone has done this before or can help me out with any niggling issues that I may come across when doing such a thing your help would be much appreciated.

Will basically be doing the following:

TB42 bathed cleaned and checked
Head bathed cleaned and checked
New bearings/seals/gaskets throughout
Shaved block/head compression ratio of around 10:1
Shot peened rods
Upgraded cam/springs/rets
XF throttle body
Port matched to inlet/exhaust
headers and full exhaust, hi flo cat and mufflers
Large injectors/pump (already in car)
Haltech E6K tuned

Hoping for around 150-160rwhp

Thanks.

The only thing I can add at the moment is be careful running that much compression with a turbo. You will need to keep inlet air temps as low as possible with a BIG intercooler, and keep boost down to stop it pinging. Not as bad if you're running straight LPG.

Yeah no turbo, just all motor.

OK, I assumed from your other thread this was the same motor you were turboing. I thought your RWHP estimate was a bit conservative for a turbo!

Yeah my car atm has a turbo atm but are going back to NA for some unknown reason

Decided to use the engine in my patrol and crack it and refurb.
