Hi all

As I now sold the supercharger and Omex 500 kit it's time to built a small bore turbo engine and hope to get a lot of bananas from it.

My first question is 998 or 1098 based engine?Whitch is better?

I'll start from an A+ block, valve pockets, centre main strap, have already some bits ready like polished lightened rods with Arp bolts, lightened clutch assembly with orange diaphram and fast road disc (all assembled 7.0kg),M8 gearbox to block bolts, straight cut 998 drops,straight cut ST ratio rod change gearbox,
X-pin diff,fuel pressure regulator,facet fuel pump....

It will be a good add use my Med FIS head in this setup?

I want to use megajolt system,turbo hif 44 and gt17 turbo Intercooler and mirage turbo manifold (If I can get one like these a bit cheaper it would be great), Kent 266 think is a good add.

I have to run the engine on 95 or 98 octane fuel as we have here in Portugal,and so I'm a bit worried about the CR to use.as I want to explore as most as the engine could give.

As the choice from 998 / 1098 based engine pistons will be another difficult choice.flat top and then machine a dish into it. (It worth it re-center the dish like Omegas large bore???)

Hope you can give a little help *wink*

Cheers

Sounds like you have the right idea. What sort of bhp are you aiming for, that will determine a few of you specifications.

We have the same octane fuel here. The CR will be determined by your power needs, I suspect that you will be looking at 8.5:1 ish.

As for 998 or 1098 that is up to you. There are plenty of good 1098s out in Austrailer, but here in the uk 998 are more popular small bore turbos.

no no no no, you need more boost! you can never ever come on here and say I have enough boost, that's just silly.

I'd imagine that with your warmer weather you'd want to ensure any intercooler is placed in fantastic air-flow, or your cr to be kept a little safer.

I'm aiming to arround 120 130 if possible,I want it to be as fast as possible.

I allways use small bore engines until today,and want to keep it.I like Small bores.

I have some good results with 998's very fast road,and 1098's too. but 1098's based engines seems to have a little bit more torque down low in rpm range.if stroke matters and if we don't go to far from 6k and if it helps in torque I think its a good starting point.

Someone with more experience might could help

Temperatures here are a bit warmer is true (winter usualy 10ºC summer 30ºC sometimes a bit more sometimes a bit cold).

If you are only after 130 then the GT17 is no use to you. it'smore suited to 150+.

120 to 130 will be achievable with a much smaller turbo, and if it's for a road car then you'll want boost at a sensible rpm.

A GT1548, or an RHF4 would be a good choice, there are plenty of others.

As for re-using the head, what size valves has it got? I use 33/29s, using larger ones gave no gains, only loss in power preboost.

It has 36 X 30 valves. I'm after what the engine could make without loss of driveability in low end rpm.

Then sell that head and buy something more suitable. also if you want drivability a slightly milder cam may be worth considering. I use a 266 in on of my 998s an it's not as nice as the MG metro cam. The metro cam won't restrict power.

I'm gonna put the head for sale.

In next few days i'll have a good head I think, It's a A+ small bore casting head and i´ll put some pic's so all can see if more suitable.

as I said before I like to drive fast and only dont want it like my last 998 small bore N/A with KC296 sp cam as I only got power about 3500 rpm.before 3500 the engine haven't any kind of power.after 3500 rpm wake up and came the "big-bang" engine until 7.500.

If Mg metro (KC 500 right??) cam give good results Vs the 266 cam

If we could make 140 instead 120 I don´t mind at all even if it lost a bit of low end.

What is your opinion about 998 Vs 1098 stroke? turbos like stroke or as most as "square" Bore X Stroke?

Pistons will be MS Hight silicon (998 or 1098 spec) or from Calver ST (I think they're the same)

If dish is need is a good go to "move" the dish to exhaust valves?

Well we use the MG cam and have nearly 180 from a 998.

I would personally stick with the 998 crank, but maybe consider a large overbore (+60 or +80), this will help with spool up.

You need to look at some compressor maps fro that power, but from memory the RHF4 will certinally flow enough at a suitable pressure ratio. The GT1548 will too (just had a look).

And are this 180 bananas wild? I mean to get 150 from a 998 turbo they will not have low end drive?

It is a race car, and would not make a nice road car.

I see.but coud we stick @ 130/140 bananas for a nice very fast road / track day/ hillclimb car?

As I have 1.04:1 drops and 3.1 diff (final will be aprox 3.2FD) is a good choice? or a FD of 3.44 will be more suitable?

3.1 or 3.2 is perfect, I have a 2.9 in mine at the moment, but I thought that the 3.1 was better suited.

My engine with more boost would easily make 130/140, and it's a daily driver. It currently has 110/120 and is fast enough.

There is some info here on my daily 998 turbo.

And sone stuff here on the 998 racecar
