f**king mental
Advice for anyone even thinking of buying a trophy as an investment, go and buy a mk3 escort with RS1600i or RS Turbo on the boot instead
Yeah I know matey but the trouble is the handbrake will typically pull 250 kgf total in a car weighing 1000kg travelling at 100 mph it's not efficient enough
this diagonal circuit is preferred due to the fact that if you burst a front hose you still have some braking nfs our for example where as if you do a simple from treat split you will only have the rear brakes and we all know how poor they are.

this diagonal circuit is...
Basically it's a diagonal split circuit so one port on the master cylinder feeds nsf+osr and the other port feeds osf+nsr both rear pipes feed through the cup compensator valve independently so if replacing the valve with a bias valve you would require one in each rear line to keep the diagonal...
The shiny bits fairy has been this week and dropped these off,
the cams are 438 to help the turkish inlet (hopefully here this week) produce more ponies,
arp rod bolts as the engine should still be producing power around 7500 rpm
RC5+ pads for slowing it all back down
And I went to pick up my...
they are a very soft side walled tyre, do you have a different set you could try?
It's amazing how much of a difference tyre sidewalls make to the feel of mine
Did you remove the throttle body to allow the engine to take a breath properly?
Overlap won't affect the compression on the power stroke, only the exhaust and induction cycle.
I think the 421's run more overlap than the 438's (anyone know the lift at tdc for 438?) which is where idle issues come from
and at low to mid revs the back of the interior the plenum on the rs2/sm will act as a pulse plate and cause some random air flow but as revs rise it would become more...
I have a few recent graphs from RS tuning and I'm fitting the manifold with 438 cams and ARP rod bolts so hoping for an increase of 25hp+ ish
we'll see.
First timed run was ok but not amazing, the second run was very quick but I had brake failure at farmhouse corner at 67 mph which was fairly dramatic.
I'm sure it'll be on YouTube soon.
