how long is a piece of string all depends on what boost you want to run.

you might find the phase 3 a bit over kill.

tam1521 head gaseget would be fine.

unless you are going wild on booost then a standard quality crank would be fine also.

always looking for them bigger bunches of bannanas

IMHO forget the phaze 3 cam

its just too wild for say the road,

this cam is suited to track applications where it spends all its time in the HIGH rpms band

i think you would be better off with a kent 266 or the N/A MG metro cam

its great talking BIG numbers etc .......BUT

Its how the motor feels on the road !!!!

with the phaze 3 it WILL BE A PIG to drive

you dont need high lifts and big overlap cams with turbo motors it makes the engine just unhappy to drive


i shit you not !

rite cheers lads, where would i get a tam1521 head gasket from?
id like to run quite high boost levels yeah so can any1 recomend a crank for this?
will only be a weekend car, but would like it still to feel nice on road just pull very well when i want it to :)

std crank is fine @ 25 psi, what do you call high boost?

Team Racing

around 20-30psi lol tbh i dint think standard crank would hold 25psi. but ive never had 1 so u know more than me lol. standard crank it is then

cheers lad so round 150 bananas and running around 20psi of boost, sounds good enough to me

speed is the best rush i have ever had!!!

add me lanxter@hotmail.com

im hoping to run a good chunk less than 20 to get 150 bananas, hopefully around 15-18 but only a RR session will see.

Aslong as it drives well and can keep up the pace then thats all that matters

with that configuration chaps and set up correcctley

with a GOOD intercooler

i think you would be looking at .............another 20 + bananas more for sure!

spot on ben, only time shall see tho i suppose
