mossy7 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 The 125bhp engine is a fixed rather than a variable cam engine. As such, it cannot be upgraded to the 310 spec which is the variable cam engine upgraded from the 135bhp.( 270 engine) I looked into the cost of a complete new engine from CC a year or two back and it was over £6K then £1500 to upgrade to 310 spec which involves new cams, followers and springs plus a new ECU. Cost wise it would be better to speak to Stuart at Premier power about his F 155 upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyl Posted July 4, 2018 Author Share Posted July 4, 2018 Thanks Mossy but there is a VVC engine for sale so the idea was to swap lumps, doing that might entail other mods required which was the reason for my posting. Thanks anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKC Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Hi Andy,This is exactly what we have done on our car. The car is a 2012 Supersport that we have fitted a Ti-VCT Sigma into.We can supply an installation kit (which we would prefer to install) that would allow you to run this engine in a fixed cam Sigma car. Our installation includes a Life Racing ECU which gives fantastic cam control and has built in controls to protect again engine failures (oil pressure / fuel pressure and water temp trips). We feel this is a better option than the MBE ECU. The MBE ECU used on the Ti-VCT Sigma is not the same as used on the fixed cam engines and is twice the price. As part of this job, we do have a base ECU calibration, but as with all our upgrades we would want to sign off the calibration on your car before releasing it.I'm not at work at he moment so I can't give you exact prices but if your interested, email me and I'll send you some details.Andy has mentioned our F155 upgrade but I'd be interested in pricing up this conversion as I doubt there wold be much difference in the price. I have seen the engine that is for sale. We could also do an upgrade on this in the future to put a set of our throttle bodies on it that would take it upto 160bhp +. Buying this engine and the installation kit would give you a great platform for future upgrades as you will have already purchased the expensive bit that will carry over on our other upgrades.RegardsSKC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K7 VCT Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Sounds expensive.. Perhaps do as i did.. Traded in the 125bhp for a 135bhp ti-vct car. Then hot sevens and classic to carry out the 310 conversion inc lightweight flywheel. Cost was way better value than i first imagined. Car is also 2 years younger and orange..... Message me if want more info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKC Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 .....Or another option, keep you current engine and just fit one of our ultralight flywheel and clutches. Makes the engine feel more responsive that a 140 upgrade. And about half the price.Regards SKC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_Arundel Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Anyone got a power curve for a 310? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
