Ben30R Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 Well where do I start after buying my westy last year and a few track days under my belt decided to book her in with NMS for originally just a good check over service etc. After speaking to Troy and where I would like to be with the car decided I would buy off him a fully rebuilt Duratec with Jenvey TB'S here is engine spec 2.ltr Duratec SBD cams Vernier pulleys Uprated springs and retainers Ported head Standard valves SBD Omega pistons CR 12.5:1 SBD Carillo rods Standard crank Lightened and balanced Pace dry sump system Titan 4 KG flyshweel AP twin plate paddle clutch Lightweight denso alternator Jenvey throttle bodies Air horns Inlet manifold Fuel rail Bosch 450 cc injectors New piston rings, bearings, timiing chain and tensioners. My Plan was always to go Duratec but not quite so soon but we agreed on a deal which I couldn't turn down. So I dropped my car off hoping everything would be a straight forward swap ( wishful thinking I know on a job this big) but after weekly updates from Troy the only problem that I knew about was gearbox needed new seals. He took the box out and had it all checked and replace what needs be etc. After installing a new radtec rad,swirl pot,fuel tank/pumps etc she was ready to be bedded in then dyno. Happy to say it all went swimmingly and she made 257bhp and 189 ft/lb of torque so should fill my adrenaline rush. Also while I was there decided to get them to fit a race technology dash 2 that looks beautiful. Now looking forward to a few track days and a few sprints to see what it goes like. On first impression it seems great everything is a lot smoother and lovely power delivery. Really just want to thank Troy,Steve,Chris & team for all there help and guidance being a newby to these cars and not very technically minded they answered all my question no doubt some pointless . Also For jet washing my trailer off looks good as new now. 2 Quote

Ben30R Posted July 24, 2015 Author Posted July 24, 2015 Standard S2000, need to learn how to drive it, this has about 100bhp more than the last one Oh and thanks on the colour, still a bit more detailing to go yet Is it standard engine 240bhp? A nice supercharger on that would be nice for the noise alone. Quote
