Winter engine swaps
What do people have planned for the winter? Plenty of people go CEC to BEC - is anyone going BEC to CEC?

Not sure if you're only asking about BEC/CEC swaps...
but I'm thinking of whacking a Zetec into my Pinto'd car.
Cheers,
James

Standard pinto 1.6 to modded 2.0 on twin 40's.
Hoping to notice the difference.
I used to be apathetic but now I just don't care.

I'm fitting an XE to my thin-air engine'd car this winter, does that count?

CEC to SCCEC (Rotrex) last winter but I'm looking to either fit a smaller SC or a restrictor and limit boost so I can use more of the rev range
this winter. I suspect my BGH gearbox could do with a refresh as well.

Hey Justin,
so you're tired of the power now?
anyway what rotrex is on now? (c30?, i need a C38 prefferably) if you're replacing I might be interested in yours.
ps can't you do with a bigger SC pulley?

Hi Thomas,
I'm using the biggest pulley they do on the C30-94! OMEX had a go with a C30-74 on a similar setup and achieved 238BHP @ 8600RPM but the blower
wasn't working till 5000RPM. Makes sense as the C30-94 uses the same internal gearing but turns a bigger fan
I'm letting OMEX do the leg work now as mine is working fine apart from running out of legs a bit quick only revving to 7200RPM. Next step for
them is lower compression forged pistons, rods and aiming for 350BHP based on my power graph.
