Rest assured, I am not judging what you are doing I'm just trying to expose the bigger picture. Ultimately, the choice must be yours and you ought to have chosen your solution based upon your criteria but with as much information as you can obtain. Good luck with the build and keep us posted.

Thanks Clive for the info! I donīt mind a car that is a bit harsh.Itīs a car made for for fun so some comprimises have to be made.My main focus is stability,safety and driveability.Iīll sacrifice some comfort in exchange.I got to drive a Lotus Elise this summer and the carīs handling really impressed me.So easy and precise and stable.Itīs probably not possible, but f I can get near that kind of handling Iīll be happy. |

A little update on the 2 liter turbo project.Iīm back from vacation and picked up my parts from Remmele.
The heads are also finsished but I have sold them.Instead Remmele is going to do me up a set of CU heads.Iīve decided to go with the CU heads for a couple of reasons.First - more flow,more meat in the chamber and ports along with larger ports.I will be using 45x39 valves and dual springs 130Kg.The exhaust valves will be Mercedes 7mm stem sodium filled.The intake valve is a Remmele valve.Another reason is thereīs more surface to seal for the header in the square port than the oval port. I will more than likely use the BAS stainless header like Wally.Yes - I am a copy cat in this case.What convinced me is that Wally is now using a GT3076 Turbo and it fits in the same location as the old turbo which was considerably smaller.But Wallyīpersistance and 350HP donīt have anything to do with it :D:lmao: The crank and rods are also here - but no need to show that since they are completely stock - just well balanced. 3.5 kg Flywheel - including surface rust...I need to clean it up :o |
Good looking parts Mark!

Right on Sandeep!
I'll trade ya :D I'am all fired up to up the stakes some more :cool: |
Thanks Wally! I will be sending the heads off next week sometime,they will basically be the version 5 heads that Remmele offers only with sodium filled exhaust valves.If your header hasnīt cracked or any other issues by now,it wonīt in the future either.So 1:0 for you ;)
Armin has also upgraded to a 2.2 liter! Although with a 78mm Demello crank and a Garrett 2871 journal bearing turbo.He made 2 new videos also: this one is with the K26/K27 turbo:http://www.myvideo.de/watch/6952429/...g_Classic_2009 and this one is with the 2871 turbo: http://www.myvideo.de/watch/6952465/...zburgring_2009. |

But serieusly, you can also consider the CSP sidewinder header which has stub-pipes, is also stainless and seemed very well made also. I like stub-pipes for a turbo engine. Furthermore, the equal length IS an advantage with a turbo engine as well. Trust me ;) (4:0 :lmao:) Quote:
He is probably a better track driver than I am, but I think I do better at the strip :D |
i like that flywheel home made?
|
The CSP header is well made,but also considerably more expensive 560 Euros vs. 880 Euros.The A-1 header is also an option.But the price/performance of the BAS speaks seems better to me.The stub pipes from Armin I will be using are better/stronger than the CSP stubpipes included with their header.Did you make any mods to the header?

Light-weight pistons and rods help as well in that train of thought. Brave of Armin to run on the track with 1,3 bar! |
