Hi Barry,
You have message.

Thanks

Hi Barry,
Yes that's good news.
Pls post the results. I presume you'll
need to re-torque the gaskets after
going through some heat cycles Barry

Hi Guys,
Sorry for the OT question.
What sort of head gaskets do you use for
turbo application ?

Thanks

Hi Jose,
I will get a quote but I would need a photo
as I don't own a GTV

Hi Guys, Ive got a Buddy here who makes custom headers. I'm very sure it's much much cheaper than what you guys are quoted. What I need though is a sample of the headers. Can anyone post a picture as well ? If you guys are ineterested let me know & yes if theres a group buy I know it's gonna be ...

Hi Micke,
It's a 24V V6 engine.

Hi Guys,
How much weight can you take off from the crank ?

Hi Barry,
Sorry no results as engine is still in pieces.
Having seen some good results with pistons
& bearing coatings, I thought about doing
the combustion chambers as well.

Many Thanks Barry

Hi Barry,
Sorry to mislead you. Have no results yet as engine
is a the building stage. Have been thinking about
coating the engine internals while moding it.

Many thanks Barry

Hi Barry,
Thanks for the reply. Hmm strange, seem to work well by
many using it in the US. You think it could be cam, fuel, head design
related ? Is it a 24v engine ?

Thanks again Barry

Hi Jim,

Hi Barry, Sorry but have an OT question to ask. I remember reading a post on an engine that you had built which was coated with thermal barrier on the pistons & combustion chambers. You mentioned that it cause detonation & was only resolved after changing the heads to stock non coated once. ...

Hi Micke,
I'm actually looking into a TT v6 project & am wanting
to know if the stock rods would handle hp in region of
400-500 hp at 7500 rpm.


Thanks

Ooops,
Did not expected this thread to run amog.
Back to my question again. Can the stock rods be made
stronger & if so how much relaible hp can it handle before
it breaks.

Thank you kindly Guys.

Speaking of stock rods, besides polishing
& shot penning. Are there other methods
to increase the strenght of the rods ?
What about cryogenics ?

Thanks
