Cavalier and Calibra Turbo - Engine Upgrades
Con Rods
Connecting rods (con-rods) are what connect your crankshaft to your pistons. When under extreme load the standard con-rods can put on an amazing amount of strain and eventually snap. In order to prevent this happening we advise going for steel con-rods. These steel con-rods will be able to handle power to above 400+BHP on these vehicles. All con-rods come complete with up-rated bolts - £725 (for 4 rods)
Magnecor Ignition Leads
Are the leading brand in all engines. They offer 3 model types: 7mm, 8mm and the 8.5mm racing leads. Magnecor leads come with a 10 year limited warranty. They are undoubtedly the best under pressure.
7mm set of 5 - £99
8mm set of 5 - £104.95
KV85 (8.5mm) set of 5 - £109.95
Turbochargers
The KKK K16 Turbochargers have a rough life-span of 90,000 miles. When the performance is raised, the turbocharger is working a lot harder than usual and can reduce the overall life of the turbo. We can offer anything from a reconditioned turbo to a race prepared turbo which will enable you to run higher boost without the danger of the turbo not being able to keep up.
*Standard Reconditioned unit - £599*
Hybrid Turbo which includes cut-back blades and 360 degree thrust bearing - £799
Race Prepared Turbo with K26 Compressor wheel - £1249
*We also offer repairing of wastegate and oil seals - POA
Low Compression Pistons
When higher boost levels start to become more of a demand we need to start reducing the compression ration inside the cylinder head. The initial stage is to up-rate the cylinder head gasket with a 1.9mm kevlar gasket. This alone will decrease compression. - £84.95
The next step is to intoduce lower compression pistons which will enable higher boost levels to be run safely. Our pistons are a forged piston shaped to the optimum level to meet the demand of the extra induction. - £549
Other Performance Service
To enable more boost to be run efficiently we can specially re-design the cylinder head to amplify all ports including exhaust and inlet. We also match the inlet manifold to ensure that a free flowing entry is made - £495 (exchange)
For those who are after serious power, the crankshaft will have to be replaced with a complete steel assembly. This is only necessary for people who are after around 380 - 400BHP- £999
When power gets above a certain level, oil pick up is a prime concern. The standard engine block cannot cope with this. We have our own specially designed engine. We modify the engine so that oil is sprayed onto the bottom of the pistons enabling them to be cooled and to prevent meltdown. - £1999 |
