Watch out Mike Dundee
« on: 26 May 2009, 18:53:48 »
There is another quick 2.6 now, mine needs to get used to the new cams but pulls like a 3.0 over 5000rpm.

I reckon mine is now second quickest 2.6 on the forum after Mikes.

When I have redone 135 head gasket and checked over to a higher standard than now it will fly.

As to head skimming - too many fixed bolt positions I found.

Mike's is quick.

I suspect yours could be embarrassed by most decently maintained 2.5/2.6 manuals...

Mine is ported, 3.0 inlet splitter and 3.0 cams, pulls like a 3.0 over 5000 rpm - can someone move this to GC?

Be interesting to run it against my 3.2 (completely standard).

Yours would be quicker - but 2.6 are lower geared.

Can I hang on to your kit until I redo 135?

Very useful and after watching the DVD properly - easy

Mine is the same over 5,000rpm it just goes and goes and with no limiter and the traction control turned off it's fun fun fun ;D ;D

It doesn't go quite like a 3.0l, and that autobox will never do a 0-60 like a manual.
