Fpt & 6Boost Go 735 Plus Kw & Still Climbing

Any updates John?

It had approx 3000klm on it and never pushed hard and lived on e85. Can't comment any further on it at the moment sorry.

Wow ... not allot of work for an Atomic 968kw rated motor?????

What happen to that motor to make you stump up for complete new engine to be built by Tony Bellert Race Engine's?

[qik1]

We had a little accident that caused it too drop a couple of valves, nothing major. We weren't far off removing the head anyway to do the same work that we've just done to it. While the head was off to repair what we had to we thought we'd just do the right thing & check everything over & freshen it up before it copped a hiding with the haltech fitted & because as ya know once the heads off it's buggar all to pull the short out. When it got stripped down we found what we found. And yes Tony is/has built the new engine. The only parts we retained were the rods, girdle, headstuds & oil pump everything was a right off or not fit for purpose.

We finally have some major progress with it all. The head is all bar complete, the porting is all done & most parts are here but we've decided on some anti pump lifters cause of the setup we now have but that wont put us too far behind. We also recieved the long awaited throttle controller so it's full steam ahead with everything.

Why the change to CP pistons?

Are they a better design compared to the Atomic Cosworth pistons for your application?

[qik1]

Absolutely, with a larger skirt it'll help with better cylinder wall load distribution under high load, they have valve reliefs, we could customise the tops to gain some comp back. There a specifally designed high boost piston and to top it off we chose our own over size which is very minimal and there a fraction of the cost of the cosworths.

Thanks for the info regarding your decision to use CP Pistons in your new engine.

What do you mean when you say "we found what we found"??????

Did you discover oiling issues in your old bottom end as well????

Sorry mate due to potential action we're taking I can't discuss that side of things. Anything about the new build or the car in general im more than happy to talk about it and divulge what we're up to.

[qik1]

Abit more progress made today. We're waiting for one last part for the head and its all done
