I believe the Ireland Engineering kit costs around the $2400 mark + $150 - 200 to ship to the UK. Given the exchange rates at the moment buying from the US is quite appealing. I can have the kit for less than Ԛ£1500. Which is already a saving of over Ԛ£2000 compared to the Bexley conversio...

I think the Ireland Enginering Kit is an excellent idea, at the end of the day you do get a steel crank, brand new pistons and rings etc. The quailty is brilliant. However, its not just abuot the hardware. I keep emphasising this final point but no one seems to listen! The components are only half ...

Just out of curiosity, does the battery light come when you first switch the ignition on, before the engine is started?. I'm sure a multi-meter should still read 14-14.5v providing the alternater is charging correctly. Can you see the cell's in the battery, is the fluid low in the battery? Alternati...

As far as I know the Bexley's price didnt include any head work, however, I could be wrong. For the Ԛ£3500+vat price tag I could expect 200bhp and around 200lb ft of torque. Drive it in leave it for 2-3 weeks and then drive home again. With a smile.......and an empty bank account....lol The 3.0...

Q007 has just had his engine built to 2.7 spec from bexleys at a cost of Ԛ£1660 + cost of 2nd hand engine. 3.0 kits are great aswell but ive never seen them produce 240bhp unless loads of money has been spent tuning them. A good high compression 2.7 is the way to go and it will produce good re...

What I found appealing was the figures quoted for the 3.0 and the currant exchange rates to buy from the US. How do any of these stroker kits perform on the road in real terms, instead of numbers being printed of a dyno?. Is there a significant difference between 2.5's and stroked M20. This is a quo...
