turbotrana Member 2,586 Member For: 21y 1m 4d Gender: Male Posted 09/05/06 10:48 AM Share Posted 09/05/06 10:48 AM Theres quite a bit of high tech equipment out there that enables a backyarder without any dyno to tune a car spot on on the street. Theres enough info in car books and on the net to work out how to do a good tune. As good as Nispro, maybe not. Better than your average dyno tuner. Definately yes.

J&SXR6T Member 56 Member For: 18y 10m 15d Posted 09/05/06 11:16 AM Share Posted 09/05/06 11:16 AM Hi M6 XR6T,What would be the best cost option to handle power up to 450rwkw?I'm thinking of doing mine soon, and rather than handing over $8k - $10k for a name brand engine swap, what would it take to build and engine , knowing the power output I'm after.I have a Nizpro Stage III engine, which is good for about 500 rwkW. I have done nearly 20000km on it and have had no problems with it. Are you building the engine yourself, cause there is a lot of machining/labour cost involved in putting together a bullet-proof engine. If you have the capability / access to machine shops, you could feasibly save yourself a few $$. The only problem is knowing exactly what to alter, and I'm guessing most shops won't tell you what tolerances, clearances, etc are necessary to achieve a reliable bottom end. Maybe the Nizpro / Atomic / other good quality shop bottom end is a good option, if you get a short motor, and then build on top of that.For example in my engine bottom end here's a brief on build:1. Forged pistons and H-beam rods. Allow about $3k.2. Complete engine balance (rods, pistons, crank, etc). Allow $500.3. Full circle Bearing set. Allow $250.4. Bore No 1 cylinder (step sleeve) and CRMO sleeve (required on earlier engines, Ford seemed to have addressed the thin wall problems in later engines).5. Sonic tested block, hot dipped, surfaced, honed bores, line hone of mains tunnels. Modified main tunnel for oil system. $$ dependant on what's done.6. New crank linished and mic. Allow $100.7. New gasket set, welsh plugs, etc. Allow approx. $500.8. Labour for assembly, checking clearances, etc. In my case, it was easier to leave it to the experts.CheersRobin.←Are we talking about early ba engines here or early as in ea-ed engines and if it is the early ba engines when where they fixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if there wasa definite date things changes, I think it was more a case of the casting die was altered after the when Ford started picking-up on the problem. If you were doing an engine you'd measure the wall thickness around No 1 and see what it was like ??CheersRobin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
