So you want a hairdryer on your FTO? Or do you already have a hairdryer in it? This is the section for it. All other big power projects & forced induction goes here too.
thanks bennoz was alil worried after i was told there the same size. bennoz do you know what sort of power figures the engine is good for before it blows up hehe

Im at ~250kws at the wheels and counting
Mind you, there's a bloke on ozvr4.com thats making 280kws at all 4 with standard internals

I know what you mean thou, I've seen the rods out of one of these motors & they aint that big...
thanks bennoz you always help out, i actually followed your blog and did my conversion except the electrical had to work that out the hard way my self. what mods have to dont to get 250 at the wheels? i got rid of my twin system and am using a single bbt28 out of a s15 :s...
I kept the twins, just replaced them with new ones & wound the boost up. Didn't need to do much to the motor, just some good plugs, Bosche coil packs, some bigger injectors & a minor fuel rail mod, some stiffer waste gates, some vernier cam gears on the exhaust cams, the Haltech & some nice piping. Most of it was done in the tune. I run the poor little tubs as hard as they can go at around 18 pound, so I have a pretty regular turnover of them, but they're cheap as chips
When I next get enthusiastic, Im gonna upgrade the waste gates again to externals. Ones I got now are only just coping...
I think they are generally measure from center to center?
I was just hoping to get the rod length to then calculate the rod/stroke ratio for each motor
Thats not gonna get you a definitive answer. The Cranks are different. Best way to find that out it to get an assembled block rotate to TDC & set a gauge at zero, then rotate 180 to BDC and measure. The crank jouranls could be offest, which will change your stoke reading vs rod length.
