jims13 6 Posted October 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 lowered the compression using a spacer plate, works well and did'nt cost the earthtransmission is holding up fine, and at the mo so is the clutch..although i reckon its on the edge of what a standard unit can take.. ive got a few vids from a recent track day , just gotta put them into small clips..which ill do soonish Link to post Share on other sites

jims13 6 Posted November 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 standard clutch will take around 330 bhp, but it torque that kills them.. Link to post Share on other sites

jims13 6 Posted November 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 well, quick update exhaust had been blowinfg for some time..as one of the studs in the head decided it wasnt going to tighten. so when i went to remove it yesterday, two more snapped off in the head luckily for me (i hope) there should be just enough to get a stud extractor on, if not the heads gotta come off blah blah blah..im also gonna tidy up the wiring and see why the wastegate aint doing what it should, i may even order a new spring and then use a mbc to get the desired boost..all in all though, the engine itself is fine..did a 14.1 at the pod with wheelspin in the first 3 gears..so some traction issues i think.will also be using the winter to uprate the fuel pump, with a intake walbro unit.

Charged VR 0 Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Just read through your thraed and see that you are going to fit a Walbro unit.Just bought one of thses from Sytec-FSE, Spoke to Terry and they sold me a in tank pump that is good for 500bhp for £80. Had to modify the swirl pot slightly and use some of the old pump as a sleeve, but took me around 2hours to have everything done and no problems so farTheir Number is 01784 493555 Link to post Share on other sites
