Forged engine

Horses for courses, manley do rods rated at 500hp or ones at 1000hp, depends on what you want to achieve and how many£££££ , best to ask u engine builder.

I’m sure most would agree, the best bits in a poor build are worse than far cheaper bits in an excellent build.

The question you need answering is , engine builder recommendations.

Keep us updated whoever you go with, as information is all good

I did do a reply but it disappeared as i inserted a link…. have a look at speed performance killing it with their builds, more or less the same spec as mine… I’ve ordered a load from them. They even do a full kit. Click here you can select all the drop downs to customise kit.

Ive used Devils 3 times in 3 years none of it rectification work all new engine work each time.

I have to say I’ve not had an issue with Devils engine work. Personally I like a margin of over build anything from a minimum of 15% to a max of 25% in my engines so if I wanted a 600bbp build, I’d spec it up for an 700-800bhp build.

As you go along the route from DD530 you may want to add in the future Methanol injection or 285 cams or a stage 1,2 or 3 head or make a stroker to a 2.5ltr etc etc

The rest of the “M” maps suck

Not sure what rods and pistons they have used, once I get it back I could tell you.

I’ve never heard of pistons shrinking either.  The only thing I can tell you is that once I built the engine myself i plumbed the actuator incorrectly and over boosted the engine and I didn’t run the engine in enough due to an Audi S5 trying to noise me up lol.

Devils are running it in for me at the moment due to it being a pain for me to go down collect the car run it in then take it back.

Can’t wait to get it back as this rebuild has bring going on from Christmas, though Devils have only had it just over a month. Hopefully it makes over the 530 bhp mark due to fitting the stage 3 head and oversized pistons.
