Dillz Three pedals are better then two..

Either retrofit an FG F6 one into a b series or maybe on of those spool kits as they're roughly the same price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rods are the weak point not the pistons yeah? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A while back he built a EL and made I think 560rwkw running 9.15@150mph theres also a capri his about to tune that has a atomic 998GT-R sounds awesome maybe because of the massive cams lol and his also building a ba turbo ford motor for a r32 and I heard its capable of 700 to 800kw I heard the owner is gunning for 7’s should be hitting the track soon. I know he has good rep is in the vl's as he built alot of tuff vl’s but im pretty sure his slowly getting a rep for the fords. Im currently in the same position you Dillz got everything now just need a diff and engine My heart ATM is set for a atomic engine I have spoken to Brad from Atomic a few times his pretty good he told me shipping your engine there and back from Vic is about $250 each way but im getting a quote off Rajab soon and will compare prices with atomic and I also want to see how this 32 will go on the dyno as its much lighter than our cars should go awesome on the track. Hope this info helps you mate or better yet speak to your tuner and go from there also good post I was going to do the same post tomorrow but don’t have to now lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Car was running less than 300 rwkw at the time this happened, and tune was safe as houses, with no pinging, as tuned by Simon from XFT.See pictures for what can happen with stock pistons.....As you can see from the condition of the pistons, these were near new, with less than 5k's on them.

If your taking high 300's just get an FG bottom end from Ford. Will make the power you want safely and will be a sh*teload cheaper than building an engine.I don't want to be pretentious, but I think what my mate Ralph Wiggum meant to suggest, was an FG F6 bottom end, which has Mahle pistons, and WILL make 300+ kw safely.

Just like Dandy engines,well known V8 engine builder but also screws these engines together at great prices, as long as work is top notch should not matter who does it...........And does Rajab still use VCM or shifted over to XCAL3?
