425

320 bhp tops! wheres ur forged pistons and rods john???????

ohhhhhhhh charl you seem to know a lot about cars.

yer, but she still cant tell her ass from her nose!

its my hobby!

gonna have a guess at round 300-320

good spot charl,amongst that list there aint no mention of new pistons and rods,chocolatay pistons and runaway-thru-the-side-of-the-block rods here we come

Scoop STFU no one wants to hear your comments, there not welcome. Stop reading the car mags and learn how a BASIC engine works (Like the questopn about if an Alternator runs off the finaldrive for instance) before telling people how to do there own cars - Instead of asking John why he didnt go for the 2.5, should you ask yourself why you never went for the 2.0? hmm

My guess is 360bhp

Well,for the reason i aint made of money,just sayin if i were to spend 7.5K on an engine id ensure the famously weak pistons and rods were uprated,otherwise as we all know,it may end in tears,johns already had a rod go when it was in the previous state of tune,and scooby went thru 2 or 3 engines.completely standard the boxer is strong,but tuned they are very prone to death.i know how engines work,and i was misinformed on how alternators work.

1st things 1st - Has John told you the FULL spec? The bottom end is brand new and either way, the topic was created to GUESS his BHP and not to **** off what he has/hasnt done. I dont think he'd plow 7k into something he knows will blow up, hes not a stupid person and has researched it

You know how engines work do you? The alternator question was a proper schoolboy error and whoever told you that was clearly having a laugh, I physicly bust out laughing as Iv been in charge of some trainee's over time and the best I could come up with was to send them for some spotwelds.
Do you know think an alternator is 'engine related'? Thats like saying you know all about fitting doubleglazing but think the glass itself is made of plastic

well,i hope it dont die,hopefully the front mount and perfect air/fuel ratio will stop his pistons melting.I didnt **** his method off either,i merely made a statement from what i have heard of highly tuned scooby engines.

not sure who told me about the alternator but it was ages ago,remember bein told,batteries cant be charged by just revving the car in neutral,it has to be in gear rolling,i believed that then that the alternator was ran that way,but as u know,when i asked u the question i had sussed that this could be bollocks myself,just makin sure.this aint about that anyway,nor is it about scooby engines dying.good luck john.let us know what the power is when its back

Am glad iv changed your wording now and at least your tried to encourage John about this instead of telling him how to do it. Lets just say I think John knows a damn sight more than you when it comes to scoobys.
