The cube rebuild

[hitman]

need some advise,insperation got the cube all set up for the rover lump but got to rebuild the engine an sort lots ov bits for the engine an box,however ive got a granada cosworth comin into my possesion tmoro,what do i do,

[OxtonyxO]

oh thats a tough one but then im biased to the cosworth and i think you would get better mpg from the v6?

[madmark]

oh that is a tough one but the sound of the 8 pot will do it for me!

[Luke]

tricky one

the biggest hassle with the cossy is the adapter plate to get it manual if its auto then it would be easier

but having just come back in from a spin round the block in my cossy spinning the wheels in 3rd im very happy with it

problem is if you did go cosworth, then i'd have the 2nd fastest cossy transit in sheffield

[andykay]

What you should do is fit the cossy engine in my mk4 and with the cash you make out of the job have the v8 rebuilt and all polished and painted then put it in the cube

got it runnin an its sweet as,if i decide against using it it will be for sale

[Guy88]

thats a BOB engine and it has PATS

to make it easier you can use the earlier loom and ECU

[dangeeeeerousss]

ive not managed to catch that guy in yet with the parts he works odd hours...im gonna try him in the morning because i do know he has the odd weekend off

cheers guy88, read that they are a bit tricky got a mate whos s**t hot with electrics,but ive got two more in the pipeline an they are the early ones so still undecided

[hitman]

just thought mite stick



into



with a couple ov turbos,once id picked lukes brains that is

[OxtonyxO]

if you use the bob engine your going to need a boa loom with an rpm switch for the vis intake, or use mega squirt
if you are turboing then mega squirt or emerald is the way to go anyway as the standard ecu cant handle the extra air or retard the ignition
