as some of you already know my engines probably gone bye bye.

upside is my rents feel so badly for me. so this bday there matchin my 3500 ive already spent and saying i can have what i want done to my engine on the understanding i make it reliable and not superpowerful.

this is a bit of a shock as i havnt had a bday or cirmbo present since i was 16 (im 24 next month) due to the police catching me grow cannabis in my bedroom :s

so.........i want my engine to be reliable. as in rebuilt so nothings going to suprise me within the next year at least.

so full rebuild.......however so i dont make the msae mistake twice. what can i get for 3500 performance wise after a full rebuild.

im thinking tb's and cams

is this doable?

Chip in 500 and get a proper build low boost by Rich, I doubt you'll find any issues with the engine if you go that route

I would just slot another engine in from a trustworthy member on here. The chances are that the engine will be fine, and a lot cheaper than rebuilding your own.

Didn't you say your parents are matching your 3.5k saved, therefore you have 7k to spunk? If so, and you are hell bent on wasting it on a 15 year old peugeot, then I would chuck in some decent b6 bilsteins and eibach springs, decent brake pads, tyres and refresh bushes and any other handling components.

You will then have a car that wont be any quicker in a straight line, but will handle much better. Then come to your senses and put 5k away towards a deposit for a house!

Like I said have a chat with colin about your engine options

perhaps i need to.........narrow my horizons on the whole power increase. it looks like i cant get much from my motor without serious bucks and whatever way i go i have to keep going that route. i.e. its silly buying throttle body and cams if i eventually plan on getting a sc (hence my silly plan i explain later on)

my motor when working did make me smile every time i drive it. hence me not being to bothered about more bhp (more mpg wouldnt go a miss though) this all still depends on whats actually gone wrong and wether its worth keeping the engine. could be a silly 2 minute job (fingers crossed) or maybe a 10 hour job that isnt so......bad which i think leaves plenty of scope in the budget to do other things. maybe a new sensor to increae mpg etc

im gonna drop a naff bombshell and say id kinda like to get an electric water pump. just becuase it doesnt seem expensive or complicated to install. i like its potential for increased cooling capacity. releasing some bhp, removing the prang of sitting in traffic on a hot days, quicker warmup tempretures, plus a few others. basically i wouuldnt mind trying one out, yes i know the risks of when it brakes big trouble. and yes i know ill get about 5% bhp gain if that and the same in mpg gains.

but in the long run its less of a no goiing back route as other methods and if prooved reliable (or even better than standard pump). it has an easier possibility of transfering to any other engine or engine modification i get in the future. if my engine is cooled more effectivley from it, it should in theory improve a s/c cars reliability?

You have £3500 to play with and you're thinking of putting in a different waterpump instead of cams or charging? Did I read that correctly?
