Nikdev and his 360 Gl....

...or you could slap the 45s on the current engine while you build the B230. It'd be a nice upgrade over the EFI setup.

Might not be a bad idea to put the carbs on now as it will boost the power some what on a 2ltr. That way you can get some benifit with out having to lay out cash on all the other stuff you need fot the 2.3 engine

Nikdev, how much stiffer is the front with those 240 rear springs? Happy with it?

Is it a little bit stiffer, or much stiffer?

Yes! but I'm thinking of an uprated head and i kam along with the Weber's, my engine still hasn't run 100`km, it still fresh and i hope it will produce some HP.. Should i keep or ditch the Renix ignition?

Its a little stiffer, but not stiff enough for track.. Remember i got 240 lesjefjørs springs, they are 40mm lower and stiffer than original

It'll be an even bigger upgrade, then. That little CISAC 34/34 really holds the B200K back.

You'll be fine with Renix. You may not get the perfect timing curve, but there are bigger problems, to be fair. Exhaust & header, for a start...

Basically, I bolted the 40s on, swapped to a K cam...did absolutely nothing else (not even an exhaust)...and went from ~101bhp (assuming factory spec) to 140bhp. Better than a poke in the eye.

cheers

Brilliant! Thats an amazing result

I got a 4-2-1 on the way, combining that with a 2,5" pipes will sort the exhaust part i belive:

Oooh that would be nice for a RHD PAS N/A car

All looking very good Nikkie

Some very nice parts/ car and ehh.. jeahh. that's what I meant. :]

With the 45s and an exhaust, I reckon you'd be at 160+bhp if you were making peak power at 6000rpm. I'm making peak power at 5500, mainly because of that exhaust. You can literally hear it 'filling up' at high RPM....crazy!

Later, go to the B23/230 and you should make circa 200, especially with a hotter cam, higher compression, and balancing it up for 7000-7500 operation.

cheers

Me too. And apparently it shouldn't take long to us get our manifolds. And if i'm lucky i have enough time to fit it and make a new exhaust before next Mot.

I got the welded one in last weekend, and yes it works

I will try to fit the brushes tomorrow, ill let you know!

But i got to show you some of the goodies the mail has bought home:

and since i got a leak in one of the rear brake(the pump that sits there) I bought these for nothing:

Looking forward to spend some time with the car in the garage tomorrow
