[quote][i]Originally posted by Daimo B[/i] No, they would never design a 500bhp enigne and put it at 300bhp, they build it to a reliable specification to last. Compromise of Power over reliability. Everyone you know? That means nothing on the internet. Yeah my mate of a mate of a mate sisters dog actually builds LET's.... For shizzle..... You don't double a budget, that says poor planning from the start. Things will go over budget yes, but if your coming to 1.5x the budget cost, your planning was terrible to start with, and you should account for extras on top of a budget. You don't need to rebuild an engine unless it has a problem or your going for big power. Why replace parts that arn't broken. Again your talking like you have lots to spend, this person is asking a REAL LIFE budget of which your is just opinion with absolutly no experience bar what "your mate" tells you :lol: . Whoi is this mate, as im actually honestly interested and would like to see images of some of his conversion cars. 300bhp LETs go pop when abused and not looked after, like any engine would when not looked after properly and ragged everywhere. Like transfer boxes, everyone says "they are crap" when they arn't, its just most haven't been serviced and looked after, hence go pop. And anway, increase an engines power by 1/3 and you have to appreciate you may cause an issue if not originally setup right. As said, this topic has been covered many times, with many people, over 10 years. I've added help for the poster, im not getting into a debate with an online noobie who has got no real experience with it, only a desirable wish list. Sure, i'd love £30k budget for build a LET, but most real people don't, and need to know roughly how much they are looking at to do it properly. Of which the answers been given, so nothing more for me to contribute. [Edited on 14-05-2009 by VXR] [/quote]
