    as people know lucky had a bit of a problem which is now leading to him needing a full rebuild of his engine.as second gear decided to dispurse itself in various places across the engine so here is the spec to which im aiming i think.any help suggestions would be considered and valued thankyou

    1293 with 18cc omegas
    fully worked crank +nitriding and tuftriding
    shot peened and hardened rods
    vmax supercharger special cam
    new bearings and gaskets all round
    straight cut gearbox and drop gears
    and a swifty quaiffe lsd

    to be used with my all my supercharge stuff.
    charger
    throtte body
    emerald ecu
    stage 6 head
    and 1:5 rockers
    charge cooler
    etc etc.

    i will be updating with build progress and process and when finished final product bhp etc etc.

    lucky will be a new animal Very Happy

    straights give you 6% more power and sound great but there life span is 10,000 miles XD so get ready to redo that gearbox soon haha

    not true if they're built properly, so very expensive!

    my friends running a 137bhp na and drives it like he stole it everywhere with his over 300 degree cam and his box has lasted 37000 miles so far of absolute abuse it depends on which gear kit you use,and how well or who puts it together.plus its only gonna be a track/show/weekend weapon.Very Happy

    and it doesnt give you any more power you just get a lot less losses throught the gearbox,flywheel power wouldnt change but whp would

    yea hes right... straight cuts will last a lifetime if you treat them nicely... its not like its running 400bhp through them im pretty that 10,000 mile thing is jus so the company can guarantee you'll get some mileage form your mini before you wright it off lol.. DO IT Very Happy
