tuning compared to other cars!

[jonny jones]

just looking at a few posts on forums and prices from tuners how much it costs to tune a YB Cosworth engine! Seams pricey compared to tuning other engines to the same power figures! Is it because its a older engine to tune or just because its the classic ford thing

Comparing to what other cars and how much increase over stock.

Comparing to evo"s and RB36 skyline engines! tuneing to around 500bhp mark"

Thats very hard to figure out in a way as what power are you looking to achieve?

Take a look at power per lt, It would be much easier to get a Cossie to 500hp if it had to more cyl and 600cc more and two turbos.

Yes can see that on the RB26 engine" but a evo with one turbo and being same size engine?

Rebiuld on what car, Most is about 6 weeks but depends on what car,
A Evo about 400hp is pushing the rods where I have seen 468hp on on a YB but thats pushing the head gasket.
Cost wise for a Evo and YB tends to come out close due to diff bits being needed.

On a cosworth mark! And not bad if you can string it out for 6 weeks on a engine tuners hourly rate lol

Would love to charge 6 weeks this is about 7 to 10days work in them but the rest is the machining time and working times out.
