Opps, I ment v70r, 2.4, I've edited it now, I was just talking about an s60r and put the wrong thing in...lol

Is that a 2435 block mate

Good to hear your back in business again Colin... we all knew you wouldnt be down long

I hope this new one brings you better fortune! Keen to see it on the dyno again after last time.

New Update: The new block has two cracked liners, but has been shimmed and repaired by Tim Williams, and after a chat with him, he says it will be fine, so my block has one liner cracked and Tim sees no reason why I can't simply repair my block, so that will save a huge amount of work. Also, if it works I will have a 2.4 shimmed block for sale.

Good news Colin, saving on the man hours and having a block to sell, win win

So 2.4 blocks split aswell........

I think the 2.3 block is a lot stronger....... when was the last time someone said they 2.3 block had a split liner ??????

[claymore]

2.3's don't split, but I was running stupid boost when mine went, so I'll rain that back in a bit when it's all back together.

RT's did & running uprated sleeves now, but he is running 591bhp lol

[stribo]

So, even if a liner splits, as long as the engine's shimmed it's fine?

[claymore]

I know of quite a few on t5d5 with repaired split liners, the only down side is you may have a little coolant loss, I can live with that as long as it doesn't pressurize the coolant.

When I did my lpt I never had a split liner ever

But what bhp were you running.

But what bhp were you running.

305whp but that was only at 1.34 bar but the car was run at 1.8 bar with no probs but could not fuel with me7 blues so I put vxr470 in ready for tuning but the car got smashed just after .

Liners tend to split with high boost and north of 400bhp

Mine would of pushed over 400 bhp if the car did not get smashed up

[claymore]

then you would have split your liners

For every litre you get 100bhp on a n/a engine and just under 200bhp when turbo'd

So a 2.3 turbo'd engine will only make a max of 460bhp any more than that and you asking for trouble.

I don't understand where you got them figures from, but they don't seem to make much sense.

I don't understand where you got them figures from, but they don't seem to make much sense.

When I was at college years ago we where told that in an ideal world a 1.0 litre N/A engine would produce 100 bhp, when you turbo a 1.0 litre engine in an ideal world it would produce 200 bhp, but as the internal combustion is so poor in turning air/fuel into power it would only produce about 60 bhp N/A or 120 bhp turbo`d.

So on those lines a 2.3 turbo`d engine in an ideal world produce 460 bhp.

Anything above this figure you are asking for engine failure eg, split liners.
