I had the 67 Ptrim with the 2.3 and I loved it. It felt pretty torque-y. I changed it to 2.0 recently mainly because now I will be doing highway pulls and drag racing %90 of the time. I havent driven the 2.0/67 setup yet but once I do, I can tell you how it feels after 2.3/67


Do you do lot of city driving like around the town?

 

moosa (dxbevo) did u manage to get you car on the dyno yet. I would love to know what number your making with UAE's 98 OCT fuel.

keep us posted

 

HAHAHA nice one!!!!

Great build moosa, good job.

Does the car overheat when you drive it during the day or when your stuck in traffic. My evo is in Kuwait and dubai's weather is very similar. I'm worried that the dessert heat will make it difficult to drive on a daily basis.

 

at least get rod bolts.

 

thanks for your feedback memo..
i do not drive the car alot..only on weekends we go out and race...i dont mind the lag as it is but i wouldnt mind a little more torque..also..i do not need to rev fourth gear till 10k rpms coz the nearest drag strip is a 100miles away.

how was the reliability of your 2.3? how many miles did you put on it and who built it?

thanks in advance

 

i didnt put it on the dyno with the recent set up...it is getting remotely tuned now by 4WS...when we are done i will get it on the dyno...and will definitely keep you tuned

 

Hey Bach..
to answer your questions...no it doesnt/never over heated while in traffic or during the day, however i try as much as i can not to boost when its hot out..temp now is around 44*c!! cant wait for the nice winter to come.

 

i am in the process of getting a built block..so that should do.

Mellon has had his stock block running 30psi on pump for the past couple of months ok.. **knock on wood**

 

if you ever do boost in the heat please let me know how the car reacts.

44C is bearable, in a month or so temps get as high *** 55 and 60C

 

LOL, Bech it's already 50C here

 

Gotta love these Metric people.

 

hahahah

we measure it in Meters not inches

 

By the way Moosa, did Tamer send you a base map to start with??

 

he is in the process, he sent me a couple of maps..my car idles perfectly now...he is scallin the 1000cc injectors, and getting the cosworth M3 cams to idle softly

 

SpeeDevil,

Guess its going to be a hot summer lol

Have you had any problems with your car due to the heat?
