i have just got my rex back from wgt
its had a rebuild ,doweld and large street ported
also a t78 single turbo
im still runing it in before its final map but just wonderd what kinda power and top speed u guys think i should be able to get out of it,
real reason is i know a guy thats got a cossie with 502 at the rear wheels and had it timed at 195 and would like to beat him basicly:burnout
the speeds all in the gearbox bud, you wont hit 195 on a standard box.
doh
a well never mind what is top end on standard box?
ive got standard wheels too.
How did u get on removing air con? im gona do that to soon a think. its never worked anyway cause i never gas\'d it
and theres no point in scotland anyway lol
lol tiz a doddle bud, just removed the ac pump and its well heavy man, gives alot more flow on that side of the engine 2 :) where u based, i cn lend a hand if u want it all riped out :)..
Have a basket here full of crap iv riped out so far and im half way here :P
do u ken linlithgow?
near falkirk
my misses just crashed her car last nite so need to fix that 1st lol
and finish a engine change on my mums car. seems every time i need to work on my car everything else hapens. doh!
thanks for the offer thoe.
i think am gona rip out whatever i can aswell (why do they put all that crap in there anyway?)
batery to boot
air con
air pump is out anyway
think ill keep power steering thoe or mayb use saxo eletric one and hide it sumwhere
mmm what else can i take out?
lol im in the same boat, more out the better :)
well you`ve went single so pip shud have removed all the nest and pipework?
Remove the double throttles handy :) cleans the plenum up a bit..
iv got a front mount so all thats out of the engine bay.. im sill looking into power steering and abs removal, and poss the ast tank.
yeah pip took out all the pipes nd stuff.
ive not realy looked at the double throttles yet so add that to the to do list.
i need to sort out a intercooler to as its still standard (just for running in peirod)
dont think id take abs out as it mite save your life one day.
ast thoe may be good aswell.
keep thinking i should be in the garage not the bedroom but too hunngover to do anything today lol
turning towards leaving the abs but mines guna be more fun/trackuse so not a daily driver.. prob just leave it in lol..
even on track youd be beter with it as i bet it can slow you down faster than you guessing.
just wait till last min andd jump on them and let the abs do the work.
managed to go out and have a look at engine bay,
think there are a few extras i dont need.
half fixed the birds car. the old tie it to a pole and reverse trick lol.
got the engine to turn over in my mums car too so mayby not to far away from playin with rex after all.

ive got standard wheels too.
about 180-185mph on standard manual 4.1 diff and standard wheels.
think the auto diff 3.9 can you to around 189-193. all at 7500rpm
all depends on your rev limit as well. higher you rev the faster you will go in each gear
i personally have had 183 speeo indicated ( untimed) on standard drive train. lots of people laughed at me though and said i was having laugh. lol
