    Duratec V6 Camshaft question

    Sorry not been on the site in ages. Theres not much you can do with the 2.5 engine and you cant use the heads from a 3.0. Personally I would get new billet cams and port the heads you have.

    Looks like the Jag rear end sits too low without major modifications to the chassis, whenever says this just bolts on we now know the truth. I'll have a play over Christmas.

    Mondeo MK3 Duratec 2,5 V6

    OK I've done lots of research over the years and seen both the 3 litre and the 2.5 cams, in a nutshell no. You'll find the heads are totally different, the heads on the 3 litre was redesigned for more airflow. I've just had a new set of cams designed and made for my 3L duratec at a cost of £1k...

    I left all that to the guys in the shop, but ask your nearest performance dealer and they can get them for you.

    Easy, mig is a welder that the wire is fed from a spool and is more for soft steel welding unless you pay big money then you can weld aluminium as well, but tig is an all rounder but is much harder to master, tig is used to weld exhaust manifolds (headers) and things like chromium which is used...

    I've just bought a tig welder, I can mig weld but can't tig, and part of this project is to learn about things I cant do, tig welding is a must for stainless and aluminium.

    Just an update, this covid thing has put things at a almost standstill, bought a load of poly bushes for the front, had the front subframe powder coated and also bought a scrap jag for the 4x4 system, that will be here in a month. The vernier pullies have been put on hold because there's no...

    Just an update on the car, the vernier pulleys are still being tested in the race car and not ready to be produced yet, so the engines still not finished, I'll give more updates when I know more..

    Torque power weight

    The jag xtype AWD is basically a MTX75 box (manual I'm going to use) with a few bits extra, it's a front wheel drive box converted to a rear drive via a transfer box then a viscous coupling transfers power to the front wheels when the rear wheels slip, its mainly 60% rear drive and you can only...

    Torque power weight

    Thanks for the reply, when you think about it your right, torque is a constant that comes through the gearbox and weight has no bearing on the final torque produced by the engine. I've already researched cryo and it sounds great but not many companies do it over here, that's one thing I'm going...
