Any of you folks have had any experience with the Cosworth Short Block or Heads?

If only we have Cosworth's version of Ford Escort RS/2000 here, you'll have your question answered quite extensively. I'm just glad that they're doing some things for our platform.

They are fairly new to the subie engine market and there are not a whole lot of their blocks out there yet, but I've heard nothing but good things so far. There are a few over on the NASIOC board at close to 500whp, so we'll know more as they put on some miles. Personally, I'd like to know a little bit more about their pistons, but that info is hard to come by; in that regard, they're a little bit like Cobb. Secretive.

modifyd on here has cosworth heads.. according to him and his tuner(s) (sog and top speed) they are worth every dollar..

STimo · 11-13-2006, 10:25 PM

IMO they are the best, they just came out with an STI in the UK that has a built cosworth motor in it and cosworth heads, so if they're importing it it must be pretty good..

I was actually curious to this same thing. Not that I have the 10-15k laying around to drop one in.. but I can dream..

all i know about cosworth is that they build the type 25 STi in the UK....0-60 in 3.8 secs...looks good to me.....but who knows!

the cosworth heads we got at the shop were awsome to look at, man talk about drooling. Ofcourse for $5200 for the setup, they ought to be that nice!!!

With stock turbo and IC but with tuning of course, how much hp would just the Cosworth heads add? I may go this route versus a larger turbo and IC.

Thanks

not sure about their shot blocks, but their signature big valve heads are best of the best built from scatch from I've learned. The ultimate 2.5L would be a Axis Stage 5 short block thats sleeved and matched with Cosworth big valve heads, I'm sure that combination can take whatever you can dish out. It will be expensive but that is the top of the line motor.

The flow of your stock heads is not your bottleneck, the turbo and IC are. Wait to do heads till you do an engine build...
