good luck joe, a 4 pot kit that actually works and feels good is needed.
Everybody says they match the piston area, but most people do it very broadly using total dia area. spongy.......
4 pots are 'better' in the grand scheme of things, how can they not be.
However, i've never needed 4 pots retrofitted, and more importantly, i have yet to feel a 4pot kit that feels right, so until then, i wont be wasting my cash on them.
i wouldnt worry at all, very very very very unlikely that any damage was done.
And it would take some grit/stones to damage anything significantly in the short term.
most of it goes into development and manufacture of one off peices if they dont already exist. Pistons with a twin bridge box design made as one offs arent cheap, neither are top spec A/I beam rods (forget H when your really going for it), crankshaft as you'll more than likely retro fit the...
60mm throttle body,close to 290-300 now, limited to 8500rpm, 12mm lift on valves so their lift curves look like flying bricks.
On most modern 16v engines its quite possible to hit the 300bhp marker, even on 33mm inlet valves, but it depends on how efficient the cylinder head is, everything...
i think there is a problem with the enquiry and feedback forms on the site, i've not been getting ALOT of emails.
The normal email addy, or ben@angel-works.co.uk will get you through.
I've got a williams head for exhange use (as long as yours is in good nick as this one is mint).
Money wise, PM me as cost depends on just what you need done to it, which is reflected by the specification your going to run for the whole engine.
Nope, the fan is controlled by the ECU and the single temp switch which provides info to the ECU and gauge pod.
Its not a common problem, but it does fail occasionally.
Butre, you cannot fit a plastic gasket of any nominal thickness as it will misalign the bolts at the back of the plenham.
Giles, stock gasket is shim steel.
Inlet wraps around the whole engine, so its pretty much a lost cause, it'll be hot no matter what.
intake length effects are minor, all the changed with various induction kits and trunking will have more effect than 4mm between head and manifold.
The main problem you will have is how you will no longer be able to bolt the manifold up to the back of the cylinder head once you push the...
