Car getting forged sat ; )

[bakes fq]

Cars booked to go in to the boys at Autotoque to get forged piston and rods , bearings , head bolts , kelford cams and a good old remap , cant wait to see the results when I go back to pick it up and get the car to the pod ; ) roll on japshow final

Makes a big difference having a forged engine with a head thats been ported and gas flowed.... you cant get a remap done though until you have run your new engine in unless they are just setting your fuelling and idle for the cams.

 

[bakes fq]

I'll be leaveing the car up there for them to run it in b4 it gets mapped : ) will be intrested to see what gains I get , haven't had the car in the rollers b4 so will be intresting to see b4 and after print outs : )

 

[Dirtmatt]

Nice mate.. If you don't mind me asking what they charge for forging?

 

[Phil74]

Would depend what pistons, rods, head work you have done.

Asking on bottom end only...

 

[Phil74]

Bottom end fully forged and new acl bearings including labour from £2250 depending on rods, pistons purchased, work to be done and if gaskets are to be supplied.

 

[Dirtmatt]

Bill builds up too quick for my liking

 

[toosmiles]

would love this done to mine

 

[Phil74]

It is defo worth doing in the long run. Piston kits cost from about £850-£2000 depending on piston kit you buy. Mains and small end bearings to be replaced with ACL bearings. Engine balanced using whatever clutch and flywheel you have and your good to go. I always fit new oil pumps when doing this if its still the original oil pump.

 

[Dirtmatt]

Second hand the way too go

 

[Phil74]

Sometimes but not always as you can buy a heap of trouble and ends up costing you a lot more. As long as there was no over fuelling issues, low mileage and built correctly then yes but be prepared for it not lasting as long

True but same goes for newly build forged engines..can still have issues. Still I know what you mean.. Have to b careful. Did spot that one on the mlr
Off to indigo for a chat on Saturday so maybe lol..

 

[Phil74]

Only issues with a newly built forged engine is that is not built correctly or mapper screws up

 

[Dirtmatt]

Wouldn't mind getting some rods/pistons for mine having thought about it..

 

[Phil74]

Better all round having fully forged engine and well tuned/tweaked/ported head. Job is only half done when you only do a head.

 

[Phil74]

Everyone has their own idea for who will build their engine but i guarantee you that we can do you a better head for less money than the majority of engine builders. Blocks there is not much to do to them so nobody can make these quotes.
Can offer part exchange on heads complete engines when getting a head that has been worked on or a fully forged engine from us.

 

[Dirtmatt]

Yeah that makes good sense

 

[Phil74]

We may we based some distance from where members live but if you give us a call with your requirements and what you expect from your engine we can advise you and also quote you within the budget you have available to spend. All work is guaranteed. Invoices upon completion of work. Offer a part exchange for your standard head or engine against a fully worked head or fully forged engines. Despite the distance courier services are available at a reasonable cost.
