    forged engines

    Just looking for some ideas & advice.

    My car is down at eurospec getting mapped & dyno, i seem to be getting hooked on the never ending road for more power & it seems like a forged engine & internals,bigger turbos ect is the way to go for big power.

    So where's the best place to get a forged engine & other parts?

    cheers peeps

    Your car could already be at one of the better places to speak to people about it, I think they forged a VR4 engine in an FTO
    yep - here it is http://www.euro-spec2000.co.uk/Our-Cars/#efto


    Also - Dont know if this ever got sold?

    Remembering the fun Gowf had, I would guess forged transmissions are needed before forged engines !!

    wodjno i've seen that & spoke to zentac he only lives a spit away from me. I'm just researching at the moment, i've just had a few things done to the car it's been at eurospec having a vipec ecu fitted & dynoed so i'm gonna enjoy the car for a bit as it then move onto forged parts.

    Adam thats gonna come in useful at some point so cheers mukka!
