possible rebore for my beast

[donny lad]

ive bin on the fone to noble tuning(the makers of noble cars) in chesterfield and he is willing to rebore the engine for £125+vat and have new pistons made at about £125 each so just before i find any more out does anybody know if the 147 block is the same as the 2.4 ?

i think im gunna do it as there isnt anybody i know with a rebored hgt and for the cost you cant go wrong can you lol

Well don't expect a big gain as the block can't be bored out much further past maximum overbore. The 2.4 engine is not bored but in fact stroked so I hope these people have dealt with this engine before as it's not an easy one to get right.

 

[donny lad]

what exactley is a stroker kit?

 

[Tom]

You can't get a stroker kit.

 

[donny lad]

im just interested in what it is

if i get 5bhp ill be happy as it is something different lol

[donny lad]

i wonder if you could stroke and bore lol 3.0l lol would be nice lol

i imagine stroked is dearer lol

This car seems to be turning into a Frankenstein's monster

It'll be a supercharged, turbo'd, 4.5litre dragster by the time you've finished lol

 

[donny lad]

frankinstien lol

 

[Matt]

[donny lad]

I think you're right. If nothing else, its certainly different.

it already goes well but as anybody whos owned a hgt or anything quick you get used to the power in no time lol so i reckon with a rebore, uni chip and remap and polished air intake i think it should be considerably quicker especialy with the new gearbox lol

Easier to fit a Turbocharged Lump. Why not try and fit an S3 engine or something? Be different that way.

Or the Alfa V6 engine - chrome city

 

[donny lad]

ive already thought about turbo lump but thats bin done now and to be honest it wouldnt suit what i want but a nicely tuned na or supercharged would defonatley be different lol
i know that a turbo would be quicker but as the car is going to be insured for the road to enter the street car class i couldnt afford the insurance lol

@donny lad... forget wasting your money, if you want power get turbo lump, like me and jay, anything else is a waste of money.

as stated the 2.4 is stroked, so if you can source a stilo crank, pistons, rods, and shells and rebore it with custom pistons you might see 2.5... but then you need to add something like a motec ecu management (good luck with that) or alternative stand alone ecu replacement

Nico has the best na 20v engine i know off and he has 200bhp, still not the same as a standard turbo lump and from what i know alot more!

what do you want from your car?

cheap still, get a 16vt lump then you have 4wd possiblities aswell.

you need to add the removal and fitting of your engine to the rebore costs AND the stripping of the engine!

[donny lad]

a 4x4 would be nice but who would you go to for that sort of conversion?

i want quick acceleration realy

can the turbo be bored or stroked?
i bet that would make for interesting power delivery lol

2.5 turbo does have a ring to it dunt it lol

 

[Ian]

It's people like him that keep these stupid tuning shops going like Demon Tweeks










Just kidding..
