Re: Engine queries

Ok, now all I need to find out is what rev of each of these parts are required, I'm surprised some one who has done this mod isn't coming forward with all the info as I was under the impression it's quite a common choice?
Rev 3 engine would be easier, but the thicker block is appealing!

Re: Engine queries

I was under the impression something needed to be modded involving the oil pump?

Re: Engine queries

Another engine query, what machine work has to be done to fit a rev3 head to a rev2 block?

Re: Engine queries

By the sound of it there is a lot of additional costly work required so I think I will have to stick with the original plan!
Apparently rev 5 blocks are another good alternative, has anyone ever known of a rev 5 to be getting broken for spares though?

Re: Carbon Fibre 3 piece add-on kit (rear bumper)

like above, I would be very interested in the 3 piece kit :D but it looks like nothing is going to happen about it given how long ago the last post was!
