General Car Chat / Building a faster y32se 3.2 v6
« on: 30 September 2021, 19:48:55 »
Hi all. As per my project thread I've fitted a y32se to my scimitar.  I have open headers, straight through 2" exhausts, large k&n, and an aftermarket ecu to switch between lpg and petrol.

It's brilliant and once I've mastered picture hosting and  my new phone I'll post some pictures.

My question is, to gain more power its been suggested to fit higher compression heads from a 2.5 ? I've researched and its clear every engine variant of the v6 has different bores. So how do i identify the correct 11.5 compression heads from all the others and despite differences in bores, will it fit the 3.2

Thank you

General Car Chat / Fitting a Y32SE to a 1972 scimitar GTE.
« on: 09 June 2019, 17:35:06 »
Hi, newbie here. 
I have a 1972 scimitar GTE that I sprint & hillclimb and its my everyday roadcar.  I keep destroying the Ford Essex engines and Type 5 / 9 gearboxes despite being upgraded, so for more power / reliability I'm fitting a Y32SE from a police car. It has an R25-R28 gearbox.

I'm in a dilemma re the clutch. The existing dual mass flywheel has a 240mm plate that looks pretty tired. I'm loath to replace all the DMF, as I'm not sure it will cope with track use, so I'm thinking of either

1) converting to SMF and keeping the R25-R28 box.
2) converting to a RX8 gearbox. Parts are available.

So for either option I need to source an early SMF flywheel but then its only a 228mm clutch whereas the omega is 240.  But I've also heard the R25-28 box is not that strong and I should go for R30 ??

So just a tad confused...

Any ideas
