blocks have the same deck height, but the 2ltr crank wont spin in the 1.8's block.

With the modifications you listed, about 160+bhp is the attainable region without pushing things too far cam wise and making it run like a dog on the std idle control strategy.

Pm'ed with info

john, your PM box is full......need to clear it out.

then i'll spell correct myself to 'speed density' first lol. Its my birthday (god damn week day) and i'm loving the vino.

I think the point john is making is that having a go yourself is perfectly fine, but for a tuning company to delve into it without a comprehensive understanding and experience, well, its asking for trouble.

What about the possibility of running AlphaN at low rpm to get round the low engine speed map signal fluctuations, especially with lumpy cams, then run speed sensity once the signal has stabalised. I'm not an electrical engineer so dont even profess to know the insides of an ecu or the...

yes i would as i'm sure any customer would like to know aswell........IF you are actually doing it yourself. ;)

who does the mapping fred?

fulcrum = pivot point

snigger......:P

Completely different. Only mouth which is the same is the offside mount and the dogbone. Clio, dunno if it will fit, thats freds challenge. FItting everything in is the biggest challenge :S

pretty much lol. And for the money, it looks horribly DIY.

ask him about his £8 a wheel special deal.

WHy have one to open and no filter? Todays filters are so nrestrictive that there is no good reason, in my mind, not to run one, its asking for trouble. And yes, choking a filter will not occur thorugh straight mass flow, you'd probably need to initiate some sort of super sonic wave...

Worrying over nothing as it pracitcally makes no sense. When you measure flow through an oriface you have to take into account the relative pressure differential which creates the movement from high to low. And all flow takes that action, high to low. Engines do not suck, they clear a void...

wtf is this about anyway? the same effect would be from a remote filter location.

dropping in a 172 engine in a mk1 i dont see as a good VFM move. You can tune the 2ltr F7R to similar or higher output very easily and at less cost. A 172 enigne in there is either a novelty, or a viable option if your looking to push substantial outputs above 230bhp.

lol, plan for their order and arrival!!! Big BHP and torque is gained through accurate and efficient combustion, NOT mega boost innit. If you can run more power, on less boost than someone else with the same engine, then your doing good.

thats why you plan for stuff when your building.

Steel rods are steel rods, there are the best, then there are the rest. And in most applcations the 'rest' are more than good enough. I know of honda engines running on £250 steel rods running over 10,000rpm. So as they say, if they aint gonna break, then whats the point in spending more money...

Grab some rods out of the turbo F4R (fred has some! ;)), or use some early early 1.8 16V rods, they are beefy as fek and the same BE dimentions and centre to centre length. Boost doesnt kill rods, RPM does and abnormal combustion characteristics. I wouldnt stump for arrows, they are...

just drop me a PM or add me to MSN mate, will make life quicker lol.

no

ew

your not that strange, more queer.

no, i pass out.

i'm tempted, he's useless at organising anything.

burn it, burn it now. Speaking of which, i still have that POS head sitting in my room for no reason!

jump on the brakes and see what happens.
