PRO250

theres no room in a TE for the engine where the heck are the turbos going?

perfect time to machine it for screw in studs

a stock injected engine makes no power and no torque you can make a washed up crossy go as hard my old GTXR8 hybred thing had a comped up camed up stalled up and 3.5 gear and my 167hp corty would eat it like it was nothing and before anyone says it was car weight that engine ended up in a mates XF and still run 2.9 gears in his and would still give it a fair arse handing what im trying to say is,,,,,,,, ,ummmmmmm cant rememember...... fook it just boost the fucker

Ive made a kit to fit a EFI wizzor into a TE ill tell you its a tight fit, hell knows how there sticking a clevo in them

if they made a v8 corty there wound be a lot of dead people i think, there stupid to drive the grey car runs flat 12s at 116 as a full street rig on street tyres full exhausts and thats a 2k hydraulic clevo and a 2400 converotr and 3.5 gears, a ok solid engine and a 5k convertor and 4.11s would see easy 10s, crap id be there if that car was not just sitting under a cover while i make boosty noises HAHA im not a millionair but if cortys are ever worth over the 10k mark i have a full on nest egg going ill own all the cortys in vic in the next 10 years at the rate im going

Dont apologise go cortys Do you even need to strip one out, my orange ones just under 1100kg as a 6cyl they weight nothing 350 at the feet in one at 2700 pounds will go 10s, ill be here soon not telling whats sitting in my shed till its in the car and making 400rwhp more on this when ive done it

crank trigger looks cool ando so this is going in that corty?. ivan and I played with a crank trigger on my blown engine with 6 coil packs in 2004 I think, I never nutted it out as I wanted it and when that engine rolled good numbers without it on a stock dissy locked up with a MSD I binned the idea. a mate wanted it and he was more electronicley minded then I was back then. I read that summer nats stuff and how that hemi did 13.2 with no mph but the power it had was 50ish hp less the my towtoy makes and its even slower, its car setup if it will not move it will not mph and will not cut a number you don't have to add up to know that The dyno comps ron and i did when I used to waste money shown me you can do a lot to power by gearing and setup, my car did no mph as ron had it, but with a much fatter tune that car picked up 7mph power level it makes does not always mean its working I should pull my crossy out and try some of these ideas out as they where not around in the early 2000s no one even knew what caused the dissy to flog out or why they shake themselves to bits at revs but its common knowledge nowadays. I just boost stuff now no revs and decent power and much more torque. wish id done a full tune with triples with ron he would have done ok out of that thing but hell with that boost everything I can see it now thor now boosted HAHA

T04E off fleebay not the best but there $300 bucks and will last a while if it runas a stock ecu its not making more then 8psi anyway so the turbo will last a while

Thats the norm dave they all seem like poo Your having good luck aaron, I had to do my ute for its roady, it looked like that and it was all new. replaced it all anyway and 10.000km in its all broken again what shits me is having to do a job twice cause of them rubber boots most go like that in a short amount of time I did a brand new Cortina front end last year that car has never moved more then in and out of the shed and is lik that

all my clevos do it, never looked why I just set it the timing so its safe and forget about it one runs a acell dissy other a msd billet one the other a factory bosch one wait till the chain flogs a little the brown v8 corty has a old engine, man timing walk on that HAHA its like a merry go round just hope for more then 20 LOL

I do, I looked at one last week HAHAHAH they pull a 5500 pound truck around very well I looked how you go about geyying power and TQ out of a 400 clevo I hope 460s are not as shit as those engines

Somone take pictures of mine, i think i could line one side of my shed with them need more engine stands i think theres only 10

Rebuilding someone elses car can be a pain, it can be easyer to start again sometimes but put pen on paper and see if you can afford it. the wiring is scary that's for sure

My ute will be over 1700 when I fit my 9er witch will be soon my last borgy is clunking

Ive never tubbed one of my own cortinas for a reason, you can fit a 235 tyre under a stock arch with no real issues, a bit of pumping you can get a 255 tyre as mine will take with no tubs I little folding on a TE will take a 245 tyre and that's a big looking shoe on a Cortina chrises beacon ran 235 tyres and you could hook corners and not touch the tyres on anything there was a fair amount of room under there 245 would of fit but 255 would not My grey car has a 8.5 inch slick and 10.5 inch side wall. it would be good for 10s with that much footprint given your car is a NA 6cyl you will never be able to use the extra tyre anyway even a 250hp engine is not going to unload a 235 et at the track and on the street a 235 hooks not to bad as your moving nothing Ive never looked at how much power mine has but it does 1.6 60s so it moves off ok ive never had traction issues even with the stock rearend that car also does 1.91 60 on a bridgestone street tyre and as the old saying goes races are won or lost in the first 60 foot

That's one light XD my mates XD is a shell with a dash clevo and c4 and 9er and is more then that

Millions thats a little far fetched, but ill run with that

Look a bit harder there sitll around. i bought adecent TC XLE 3 weeks ago for $1500 gramps was $1500 as well both need some love but no real rust mint trims and under 150.000km my grey one was $500 it had like 90.000km on it and looked like it had never been sat in did have a damaged front guard but its a bit more then 100kg its more like 400 my utes almost 1700 with a clevo manual borgy diff. my brown V8 corty is 1220kg clevo c4 borgy and has everything in it spare jack big arse truck battery even a radio the grey one is 1254 with a 351 c4 9inch and a big tailshaft fuel system guages big twin exhaust it all adds up but its a complete car with everything still in it there TDs, TEs and TFs are much heaver at about 1150kg 1200 range a stock tc 6cyl manual car is bang on 1050kg but i will say when i weighed it it was with no battery or spare wheel there very light a full striped XD shell would still be well past 1300kg my ghia i thinks past 1800kg people tell me there not that heavy but ive weighed a few now and never seen a complete xcar inder 1450 kg and that was a 200 3 speeder car with nothing not even a radio

How fast are we talking for 20k? id want a mid 9second car for that coin and it want it streetable

a stock corty rearend will go 9s if the engine can push it and most will run in the 1.5s with next to no work it will be hard to push the car with such a small engine but you should still see 1.7s 1.6s easy enough if its geared and convertored right the fact it was a drag car just run with it it may 60 hard as it is and good the rearend is already fiddled I fixed one last year it had not been raced big wizzor it riped the top left arm off the floor good thing he can use a welder

I also think you run a little to much timing we run that cam in chris beacon but I moved the cam centre line as I run NOS on that engine, that is on its arse at 5600 but on NOS will go past 6200 no worrys we only run 28 degrees on his and his engine has a full point less comp, that cam just does not like timing i can still run 32 on my big engine with way more comp doing it again i would have gone a solid I like the 570 streets i run 2 250s with them good carby easy to work on and rear metering plate and seem to work well on the little 2fiddys out of the box

That's a fair bit the engine must be poking out the bonnet LOL The twist will kill the body fix the issue straight up and it will not damage it that and it will 60 harder and if its gains 1 10th in the 60 it will gain 2 10ths up the top, all mine have gained a few MPH from it as well, its a must do mod there not like a falcon where the body can support the power they cant take more then a 2litre these things, that or a footy ball in the drivers side I did that for a few months, simple and stops the body diping on the launch mine kept poping the ball and is why I changed to the bar LOL Has it had the top arm mounts reinforced? do that to. its very hard to save them after it rips the bolt thru the rails ive fixed so many its not funny, so many I make a repair kit for them 3mm angle stiched into the floor, and a 3mm plate on the other side of the rail so if it pulls the mount off the floor it cant pull the bolt thru the rail The only thing better then a corty is a capri

From the centre of the sump to the rack is 2 inches I will also add the factory crossflow sump in a late factory crossy Cortina is not the same as all Cortina sumps theres a pressed section to clear the rack you fit a stock sump theres less the a inch there my blown car has spun alloy mounts and a bolted straight thru it. my last one was chained and ended up ripping the mount points off the block so its mounted so it will not move at all webbers fit the engine bay fine if you don't run ramair pod style filters I run trumpets and they clear fine althow in a TE you need to mod the section the heaterbox sits on just a little tap sorts it out as for twisting fit a antiroll bar it will also stop the chassis eating the power the engine makes mine went from 1.68 to 1.56 with this mod and I was still running 3.5 diff gears at that point so it boggied out of the hole for a stock corty rearend

power seems low for a built engine but it could be the cooler setup killing it mine did 190ish killerwasps on a stock engine at 11psi stock $100 engine no timing no boost and a stock ignition and one of this things was killing it unsure witch one I think valve springs

My last engine did the same thing "turbo did not let go but" and was down to 60 on 1 bank, funny it was number 3 as well, it was a broken compression rings and the skirt off the piston and is a common thing with a engine that was not tuned right or boost spiking as mine was, mine went past 25psi a few times and that's caused my broken piston/rings, mine had no real signs of damage till I pushed it out of the bore it had a fair amount of damage to the piston and rings on that cylinder I could have fitted a new piston and rings to it but removed it for another engine as mine was the cars matching number engine and I did not want to risk damaging that engine over another one It does not have a bent exhaust valve? or blown the head gasket out? althow if it did the headgasket it would chug like a train even more so then a broken piston or would make a fair noise while the engine is running How much boost does it run? a non intercooled engine should not be over 8 psi a bit more can be had with the meth injection but id still not go past 12 at the most, and may be the issue its been boosted with no meth in it and that's caused the damage If you in need of pistons and it still has cast 29cc ACL ones PM me I have a few new sets and a a fair few 2nd hand ones that I kept as there like new still in most sizes just in case you only need to only change 1 piston
