prezes Posted May 20, 2011 Author Share Posted May 20, 2011 Just got back... Had the car mapped but there's a problem. It made 180 hp but Darren at DNR already knew something is wrong. He checked timing, intake etc. Everything in the engine but nothing wrong there. It seems there something wrong with the exhaust. It blown 500 yards from the garage, they've fixed it but there is a problem and it's causing a blockage or something. Darren is sure that it will make 200 at least.He's taking the car on Monday and he's going to check the exhaust and find the problem then tune. Yet again absolutely fantastic service from DNR. He doesn't have anything to do with the exhaust. he's not fitted it or anything. Have to say though that it feels really strong at 180 hp. I left disappointed but smile came back very soon. It goes like stink and picks up superbly from quite low rpm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prezes Posted May 20, 2011 Author Share Posted May 20, 2011 dude you will get more than that, mine is standard with a filter and exhaust and produced 176ps/170nmbut you're talking bhp whereas I'm taking about whp (wheel horse power) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weetec Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 1 day kiddo...1 day...could be the exhaust has collapsed inside..its like wire wool used to dampen the sound....everytime you rev the engine it blows the wire wool and causes the blockage hence no flow...but on idling and low revs everything runs fine....im sure youll get it sorted, naz.

james Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 will you give a rough estimate on the overall conversion or is it top secret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prezes Posted May 21, 2011 Author Share Posted May 21, 2011 It's not a secret Details of the built:b20b block with less then 50k milesnew cambeltnew waterpumpnew tensionernew head gasketnew cam seals and valve stem oil sealsDNR conversion kitminor refacing skim to the headnew oil pumpnew ecudyno tuneb18c4 head used with all the original ancillaries.Total price for the build £1850 with a discount for paying cash.Now the breakdown of the prices:B20 Block - £500DNR conversion kit - £150ARP head studs - £110Cambelt and tensioner kit - £65Waterpump - £35Engine oil - £30Oil filter - £10Gearbox OIl - £15Coolant - £14Spark plugs - £15Consumables - £6Ecu - £100Total Parts - £1300Dyno tune - £350Labour - £400___________________ £1850Now I got £400 for my block so:£1850-£400______ £1450This is the build total. Now this is with the standard inlet manifold etc. On top of this you should add items which you should have already before tuning not to strangle the b20:2.5" manifold2.5" full exhaust systeminduction kitThis obviously is random price wise depending what you'll go for but you should go for proper items not to loose power in the end. I personally paid about £700 for those. Then you may or may not go for other bits to customise the build. I bought a Blox inlet manifold & gasket (around £160). dc2 throttle body - don't remember how much. Then there was s80 4.4fd gearbox @ £300 but got £100 back for my s9b.So you can see for youself the build itslef is a bargain for the power your getting. It really depends what you want to achive.To sum up it cost me around £2450. Michal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prezes Posted May 21, 2011 Author Share Posted May 21, 2011 Well I'll let you know what it is. What I mean is that whp matters. BHP will be random, some say 20% from wheel hp some say 10 and some 15. Bhp is just to make it sound mean on the new cars preformance leaflet 250 bhp 4 wheel drive = 190 on the wheels meeee ;pyour 176 ps probably is 145 whp that's what I meant.
