no .. well i dont think so , i was going too but then im not wanting to go over 350bhp tbh and as far as i know there not really needed unless going for 400 or more , dont get me wrong i know they would prob be a benefit but it gives me a reason not to go power chaseing

.. itl be on a standard turbo for the time being anyway.

what you opinion on the squirters?

anything to keep pistons and stuff cool is, well, cool in my book.

safety first. bottom end built to take 500+bhp will be happy as the man mobby paid for not doing a conversion when ran at 350.

engine out, rude not to is the way i see it.

suppose it depends how much it will cost to get done. i had mine done by machine shop that bored the block out. cost me an extra 30 quid or something. was about 7 years ago that though.

i might fish the quide out , ive got a block getting picked up monday to be bored ii might give them that guide and say off you pop

,, im assumeing the standard oil pump will be still upto the job ,as you would of thought , more oil supply is less pressure. .. cant be arsed with a z20 one and bodgeing a pickup pipe tbh

so good so far. its ran them squirters and c20let oil pump for 6 odd years now. havent noticed a problem with oil pressure even if everyone tells you that you need a z20let pump. as its always the way.

its been great to talk. im off out for a pizza now. give my best wishes to everyone. bye.
