- Over this mini series Im going to show you whats involved in stripping down the TR6 engine for refurbishment. While doing it well take the opportunity to refresh some of the parts and in particular the challenge of changing from a high torque 125hp CR version engine to the 150hp CP version engine.
Other upgrades along the way will be a lightened flywheel and improved cooling.
So strap in and enjoy the ride. As always feel free to comment and subscribe to the channel. Always love to hear your feedback and aim to respond to all contributions.
Great series of videos and thanks especially for the honest conclusion. „Can‘t take your money with you“ - so true. That‘s why my US spec TR6, modified already to deliver 130 HP, will get triple Webers next winter, also hoping to find another 20 HP or so. Looking forward to your next video. Cheers 👍
Thanks for watching!
I had a TR six and I put in enormous amount of modifications to every part of the car. Mostly bits and pieces that came from TR Revington spares. She also was running on three side draft Webbers, which took me quite some time to dial in, but the finished product was like fuel injection! I miss that car.
thanks for watching
Hi, A good honest video. I have '73 CP which I enjoy but starting is sluggish and it can be a pig in traffic, so as you say up grading the power may be a mixed bag. The downgrading in power was an attempt to make a more drivable car. I think an upgraded starter motor would be a good investment if you upgrade although as you care for your car you may already have one.
thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching
Hi how much did it cost for the work Remington did to it and the rolling road?
Rates are specific to your needs. Suggest you give Revington TR a call and they will be happy to explain their services and costs to you depending on your needs
@@mgmidget-thebirthofaraceca4349 Thank you 🙏🏻
£1500 all in, new cam, new oversized pistons and rings, , throttle bodies, rebore, metering unit and injectors, Revington labour and rolling road, sounds like a bargain, I’d have thought twice that easily. I’d have thought the Revington work would have been near £1000.
no the £1500 was just the cam and tuning element, the boring and engine rebuild is not included in that, so you probably about right in total
@@mgmidget-thebirthofaraceca4349 ah ok, I now understand why you maybe came across in the video as maybe it wasn’t all worth it. Near £4K I’d say.
