As a side note my best lap around castle Combe is 1.18, spiky with his sc'd 205 track car is 1.19. Mine also now has 6 pot brakes as a 1.18 was with standard gti6 calipers which couldn't take it after several laps and braking is much improved when I went to oulton in November. Looking forward to getting out at Combe this year so see if I can lap in 1.17.

Personally if I was you I'd not spend the 3-4k that a lynx setup will cost and buy that 92mm crank forsale on here currently, along with some pistons/rods to suit the some mild road cams and a set of used jenveys.
Plenty of NA torque, not that much less power than a lbsc, lighter, less complicated and more exciting drive!

You'll also have a completely rebuild engine too.

Sorry, didn't mean that to sound so abrupt!

I really didn't think that straight bodies with no cams gave huge increases, certainly not enough to challenge a charged civic, as those Jackson racing kits are supposed to work very well.

I will certainly not be spending 3-4k on the sc kit! I have sourced a low mileage example for 1500, so I should have it fitted with a nice 2.5" exhaust for 2k.

I did initially want to go down the ITB route, but my budget is 2k and I want 220bhp if going NA to sway me away from going SC. My other problem is that finding a head that hasn't been skimmed is becoming difficult and therefore pocketing pistons is a must, as my engine has had a head gasket done at some point. I'm not capable of rebuilding the engine myself , so this would simply add to the cost. I do however have some mechanically handy friends though, so what would 2k get me of going for used parts?
Cheers

I've got 317.5ft/lbs, how much torque do you want?

I would imagine it has a lot to do with the way the mapping is set up and the fact the Rotrex unit takes some time to spool up.

No offence taken, I know what you mean.

When mapped on rollers which are purely used for that purpose and not calibrated it was indicating 175 at the wheels which converts to around 200 at the fly I believe. As mentioned - take those with a pinch of salt. It certainly feels much much much more raw, aggressive and I'd almost say it was enough for road use.

I was chasing the SC'd Civic in areas where it couldn't really stretch it's legs. Short twisty sections probably only to around 60mph. I was on his arse and when he stopped he was shocked. His brother actually has a standard one and when pulling to a carriageway I caught him up and actually flew past him to the point when I looked over I had gone before I could see his facial expression. I genuinely didn't think he was 'playing'. He confirmed he was actually giving it his best shot. Again - had we gone to licence loosing speeds he'd have carried on.

It's not been on the road enough to really compare it to be honest I'm going to fit the various piles of items I've been collecting to 'finish' it in April time and then I'll be taking it back to Combe to see what difference I can see when really stretching it's legs. If I don't manage that I'll break it as I hardly used it last year and there's no point having it if I don't .

I personally would say that second may be down to you're suspension and the fact you're cage is a lot stiffer Ash bieng a weldin rather than bolt in! N/a vs supercharger I like both and they both have plus points and - points.

V6 in the front of a 205? Utterly useless handling and under steer.....

Well yes and no.
It's not really my cup of tea as for me the 205 is about a light nimble hatch which isn't front heavy.

In reality I don't think there *that* much heavier than your RS engine. Bit of suspension adjustment, battery to the boot etc and your probably not to far away. Plus torque and hp out of the box! Half the price too.

Just looked and a V6 engine is about 170 versus a RS engine at 145

Allye how much work is it to fit a v6 into a 205? owned a gti6 205 just thought might be good for a giggle to fit a v6 in one at some point?

Jeez, there's probably fewer cars going round the M25 than that circuit!

Any track day organised at coombe just looks like a free for all - you're a brave man Ash!

I think this is only actually true if you have a high boost setup, Stan. The highboost setup retains the throttle response because the throttle is kept just next to the plenum. The low boost setup definitely loses throttle response because the throttle plate is several meters after the inlet plenum, hence some cars stalling etc. You learn to live with it but the response is definitely much slower.
