ok guys n gurls ,, as im sure in the past you've read about me rattling on about a turbo engine  in one form or another ,, well the time for me to start has come ,, I pick up me engine case soon from the machine shop in the next week or so ,, and the fun begins  ive done my homework and I think ive sorted out a list most of the bits I need ,, but  I could do with you thorts on anything that will help me with the build ,im not building an engine  to do the quarter mile just an engine to give it a lil bit more of the fun factor  , ok list of parts im about to sorce are ,,,

as41 case , cut for 1776,, full flow

crank forged ,, cb 4140  69mm  or ssp 4140 69mm ,, what would be better ??
 
cam ,, an engle  TCS10 for a turbo ,,  any one used these ?? are they ok ??

valve train ,,scat 1.1  ,,for use with turbo cam  or again is there better ??

pistons n cylinders,, mahle  or  AA   ?? are AA pistons and cylinders any good?

pushrods c/moly ,,

conrods ,, std balanced vw ones  ,, would these be strong enough for the job ??

Kennedy clutch n plate ,

am also thinking of cb 044 heads ,, or would I get away with , a port n polish on my 16 tp heads ??
,,,my god and that's just the start  ,, I know there will be other things as I go along the way  ,
so any input or advice would be much appreciated    

I can't advise you on any of your questions, but I will be following this build with interest.
I can suggest you give TES A call.

i have just helped a friend build this







my advice would be to use forged pistons and use a better rods; standard are strong, but why chance it. look at Chrisbullshead's old turbo engine that gave him all sorts of problems trying to make a turbo to a standard 1600.

I have not got any experience with turbo engines! but I know on 1300/1600 engines, people have tended to go with single port heads. I think this is because they are less prone to cracking and they have steel inlet manifolds which are easy to connect to. I know they do not flow so well but when your using a turbo, it might not matter as much! Just a thought but could save you some money for other parts.

Good luck with your build, I'll be intrigued to see how it comes along.

Not a hide away street sleeper turbo then, looks neat.

  cheers guys n I love that turbo set up
