Bananaman Posted November 27, 2002 Posted November 27, 2002 Just Phoned Raceline to enquire how they were getting on with their Duratec installation & they have just about sorted it. They have put one in a Cateringvan (someone had to put a decent engine in one ) with ally bellhousing to type 9! All they need to do for a Westie is sortout the engine mounts & exahast primarys. It comes in 5 flavours all with DCOE type direct to head throttle bodies. 185bhp Standard engine with TB's 210bhp +Cams 220bhp +pocketing of pistons & valve springs 250bhp +new conrods & pistons & some headwork 280bhp +more headwork, cam followers etc..... I think he said it would be £7K for a 250 version on a new engine, cheaper if you supply the engine . Will post again when i get the info they are sending me. Andy I can feel a lightweight racer coming. Quote
moomin Posted November 27, 2002 Posted November 27, 2002 I saw a Duratec installation at the factory in MARCH. I think they must have accidentally sold it or sommat since then... uh-oh, I hear a chopper overhead, it might be the MIB... Moom. Quote
Westfields Rock On Posted November 28, 2002 Posted November 28, 2002 280bhp. bl**** ####! i dont think bandit has 80. how much for 210bhp with own supplied engine? how do i contact raceline? Quote
Mike H Posted November 28, 2002 Posted November 28, 2002 I think he said it would be £7K for a 250 version on a new engine, cheaper if you supply the engine . £7k bl**** ####! Mike Quote
Bananaman Posted November 28, 2002 Author Posted November 28, 2002 how much for 210bhp with own supplied engine? how do i contact raceline? http://www.raceline.co.uk/ 01483-811798 Andy 210bhp should be cheap as it's only a new set of cams plus the installation costs i.e. exhaust, management, injection, engine mounts etc.... so not that cheap Raceline stuff is realy nice, not the cheapest but you gets what you pay for in this life.

wrightster Posted November 28, 2002 Posted November 28, 2002 Re "westfields rock on" ?? whats a bandit ?? a fruit machine maybe !!?? ru a fruit !!?? i aint showin u mine !! Quote
Petrol.Head Posted November 28, 2002 Posted November 28, 2002 I assume Bananaman the figures you quote are for the 2.3 Duratec 185bhp Standard engine with TB's 210bhp +Cams 220bhp +pocketing of pistons & valve springs 250bhp +new conrods & pistons & some headwork 280bhp +more headwork, cam followers etc..... If they are for the 2.0 or 1.8 then it will make the VX owners look a bit jealous I would like to get the figures for the 2.0 Litre and 1.8 Litre engines assuming they are in the pipeline Quote
Bananaman Posted November 28, 2002 Author Posted November 28, 2002 Petrol.Head these figures are for the 2L version. I asked about the 2.3 but they were of the opinion that it was a "Truck" engine & hard to get hold of. still figures for the 2.0 seem pretty good. I think that Minister might be doing some work on the 2.3. I spoke to a guy from Birkin cars the other day & he said they were going to produce an independent rear end car with a 300bhp 2.3L Duratec weighing less than 500kg for 10k less than a R500. So thats an R600 with a stonger/more powerfull engine @ 3/4 of the cost. Watchout c******m. Andy Quote
Gazza Posted November 28, 2002 Posted November 28, 2002 Gentlemen, I think we have seen the future. My personal programme envisages a 220bhp 2litre Duratec installed by April 2004 - Motorsport news should be full of nice 2nd hand ones by then..... Quote
Westfields Rock On Posted November 28, 2002 Posted November 28, 2002 ru a fruit !!?? nope, im a nut Quote
