Overall I am curious about their stuff now  but would they be able to fix the possible chain problem with the 16v heads? I hear it will (rarely) pop and if you're undlucky, bye-bye go valves and possibly the head with them. |
Well the 'normal' stuff like Cam wheels (used to manually adj cam timing), fuel rails, various cnc'd brackets...things like that, they're very cheap for what time and money goes into them. Once you start fully customising things like the 16v cams and heads etc, this then becomes expensive. C.E.P. can supply all of this, but you need to go in with your eyes wide open and know what you want and why.
The Dry sump is a perfect example. You don't need this unless you really load up your car with sustained Gs. For a street car this is unnecessary This is designed to protect your engine from oil starvation. The sideline to this is you get some extra hp as well. I don't know how much extra but I've heard at least 20whp on one motor.
If you're really serious about this I have a 16v project that is probably more than 70% done that I doubt I'll finish. I would consider selling it, but you'd be shocked at what top notch engineering and building costs.
