sdistc Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Sadly not The head is an exchange unit for Whifbitz Hmm, hopefully I will be able to find some spare cash afterward to take advantage of Mr Whiffin's newly perfected VVTi head building Still have a bit of thinking to do after talking to Paul and Chris Wilson about head modifications though.

Indeed! If money is no object, go to Chris and have one built to his spec - however, this car is a hobby for me, so a generic pre-built one from Whifbitz is something that's perfect for me, given that I've done 800 miles in the car this year!

Haha, if only money was no object! I'm somewhat concerned by the law of diminishing returns now - I'm getting leery these days on spending big to get a few more hp at lower boost. That, and the ferry costs to Germany might start to add up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan.G Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 The Titan cams seriously made Jules vvti engine laggy! I would go for the Hks intake cam JG as when he went back to that it transformed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 The Titan cams seriously made Jules vvti engine laggy! I would go for the Hks intake cam JG as when he went back to that it transformed it. I spoke to Titan about that, and they've assured me that it's not an issue. I'll have the current cams as fall back if need be. Just want to go on a different route Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMPEROR Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I will be watching with interest, as I want the same Titan 272 cams... I heard some bad stuff about them, so I still can't make up my mind... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard some bad stuff about them, so I still can't make up my mind... I've heard both good and bad, however, I've spoken to Sean at Titan and they're assuring me that these will be fine. Based on their reputation, and my love of trying different things to the norm, like the true DBW, I think it'll be a decent setup. If not, then I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

caseys Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 When this is built, come on down south sometime with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 When this is built, come on down south sometime with it It's getting the work done at SRD and will more than likely be mapped @ Advanced ME in Silverstone. So it'll be in the south for a while. But then, it's staying in the lovely north till I sell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still haven't given up on these... Just waiting to hear on first hand how good actually are those cams. As my build will be pretty close to yours.

johnny g Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) Another small update. Heard from Lee the other day, he's hoping to have the car down to SRD at the end of Jan/early Feb. In the meantime, I've been shopping. In addition to the block from Jamie, I've gone ahead and bought: VVTi Head Whifbitz Stage 3 Full Race Cylinder Head. Brian Crower 1mm oversize valves, Brian Crower single valve springs, Brian Crower retainers, Ferrea bronze valve guides, Fully Ported, skimmed and shimmed, Titan Motorsports 272 9.9mm VVTi cams Also went and got Titan Crank Pulley Whifbitz Billet Tensioner OEM new gaskets all around OEM new water pump OEM new oil pump OEM new thermostat On the way is an RPS Triple Carbon Clutch and when the engine is pulled, the HKS Twin 3037's are being overhauled with HTA wheel upgrades, making it the latest turbo technology on there. Should be a decent motor! EDIT: Forgot to add that I've also got a TRD 10k Tacho now too Edited January 5, 2012 by johnny g (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
