LEX11S I have prices on the way from people for a few differnt things to go on it it depends on how much it all is and how much he wants for the block?
It was up for £2500, though that may include some other bits.
I have recently questioned the power that can be put through a stock engine, and was told, more than once I think, that LEX11S and Rabster run big power... without any problems!
Hope you get it sorted soon mate. Very nice car you have there.

gutted for you mate!
that block Rabster is selling is def the answer!
is200 igfe turbo - Rabster - 07-06-2019
The block i have is exactly the same block that is In almost finished Car, i also have the same plenum and head studs......

Thanks for the comments guys
Right the map was done at rising sun friends of ike, there was nothing wrong with the map it ran as it should, ive done 4 track days with it and i dont drive it hard all the time!
talking to someone 2 days ago was telling me the rev limiter on the car is very harsh and gives out alot of harmonics which doesnt do the engine any good its very easy to hit the limiter when the car has that much go lol.
The engine had done 146,000 miles when it went bang, but looking at the engine out the car it looks like the con rod cap and bolts are missing now why this is i dont know? maybe the cap bolts are not up to the job? who knows? also maybe running .8 .9 of a bar is ok for it just that little bit more topped it off?
i will find out more when i take the engine apart and have alook .
As i said i dont care so much the engine has gone bang as it was a std engine that had done alot of miles and not built for what i was doing to it!

sorry to hear that, makes me think twice about mine again now!
seems that maybe the rod bolts have snapped causing the cap to fall off? would be interesting to see if ARP make stronger ones that would fit?
is200 igfe turbo - LEX11S - 08-06-2019
Yeah I'm trying to find out about some arp ones will let you know when I do
is200 igfe turbo - RichyUK - 08-06-2019
nice one, i was gonna give my old engine a refresh and put it back in so would defo like to chuck some ARP's in for extra safety!

Well they do say for big power builds you have to over engineer everything, so for a standard engine it has done well!!
