My 5 port head is still a mg metro type with the cumbustion chamber modded to lower the compression ratio. Nothing else that fancy about my engine and have managed to do 106mph traps. Not amaZing but not too shabby!

Well here is an idea, why don't you try some of these weird and wonderful ideas you bombard us with, and then report back, rather than trying to look a clever by posting something you read somewhere?

This is why I'm keeping my car as is, and building another with a N/A 16v motor. Does that mean your not going to go racing with Endaf? On 14th Aug, 2009 Tom Fenton said:

If you can keep it cool enough and the oil temps sensible then its going to help with reliability. It may be worth looking into that sort of thing too.

well for track use, would a spec similar to JF's race metro not provide enough oats for you rick?

spec is easy peasy, high compression, fuckloads of boost, and methanol to increase the octane rating. nothing more nothing less. 2.0 bar@9.5:1 CR :) get it done ..:) Edited by evolotion on 15th Aug, 2009. turbo 16v k-series 11.9@118.9 :)
