ED xr6 project.

Postby Naylor203 » June 27th, 2013, 10:19 pm

I'm wanting to start working on my ED and this is where I will be asking any questions I have.
...Which will be a lot...
My aim is 400 rwkw.
I plan to spend a few years on this as I want to boost it and it will be a while before I'm off my p plates.

To start with, I'm going to buy another engine (so I can still drive it for the moment) and stick it on a stand and build that.

I'm wondering which block would be the best to start with, which ones will fit, or if there's one that is simply the best, I'd like to know about it!

Pretty much every single thing you can think of to ask will have been covered MIlLIONS of times in the tech section or build threads. Once you've read about 20 or 30 builds, you'll be able to put a 400kw motor together with your eyes shut.

Look at your car. Now back to mine. Now back to yours. Now back to mine. Sadly, yours isn't mine. But if you stopped buying dodgy cars and bought an ED, yours could be like mine. Look down. Back up. Where are you? ...You're on BoostedFalcon, reading the signature your signature could be like! Anything is possible when your car looks like my car... I'm on a computer.
