I'll reserve my opinons, but there are major benefits to creating the correct boundary layer thickness, which rifling would kill in terms of flow and suspension.

does your class restrict you to either 1a or 1b tyres?

you need to check for rocking at 12 and 6 and 3 and 9, just 12 and 6 and you could be looking at worn bottom ball joints or top mounts, loose hub strut bolts. Take the wheel and disc off and wobble the hub face itself, then you will know if its the bearing. I've never seen tracking pull...

Financially no, only for the hardcore. New crank, rods and pistons, block bored and a different head gasket are the basics. Technically you dont gain peak bhp but you gain potential bhp as you actually build more torque and lower the point of peak torque and point of peak power. This...

Any flow specialist worth his beans will tell you that any tubulance in the actual port is just using energy and slowing flow, introducing a chaos factor as that area will react very differently at differing rpm and velocities. All effective swirl is created with port entry angle, port...

erm, more than tight enough lol

imagine a 15 min pit stop in f1.....lol. driver on a massage board with a ice tea, mechanics playing xbox.

30nm is nothing, and doing them up as tight as you can with a 3/4" ratchet will be well above 30Nm!!!

fraid thats the rules. You cant ask for a medal at the olympics a day before...."oh go on, i promise i'll win gold tomorrow"

i'd use motul 300v

because i wasnt there yesterday, and you dont get a trophy yesterday for something you did today!..........

you had your run, live with it......your trophy is waiting at HQ. ;)

no, there is zero need to touch them at all.....infact i can argue why not to.

but then you have to carry alot of water......and weight.

mechanics are a very different species to engine builders.

not as a single modification though, massive money just to fit a manifold.

exhaust manifold your referring to?

saxo vts will be the fastest and cheapest. If you get round the stereo type they are fantastic cars. 106 and vts are exactly the same cars....but the 106 is a tad heavier, although nicer inside and out.

not quite, on that basis, it should make double the power.

8v's have built the reputation of being more torquey because in std and mildly modified trim, they run much less radical valve timing events. Couple this with average port velocities that are higher at lower rpm's and you get an engine which lends itself to high VE's at low rpm's. Thus it...

doing ford engines, they basically redesigned the YB!

are they famous lol...............

yea, and we wont have much of that left either lol. They had better make desalinisation cheap......and fast.

yea, on myth busters

try a 2.3 hart then lol.

even then, its apalling. I specialise in flow development and i liken the vag head to reproduction toilet bowls. It takes serious money to get that thing to do anything decent.

no, that gets thrown in the bin.

yea, ages ago. Saw all their initial test engines, though i wasnt impressed by the pistons.

and charging 50% of what we get in LA, which is their expensive! lol

meths is stoich at 6.4:1 so you have to tune differently for AFR and EGT, apart from the nature of the burn you dont have to build the engine radically different. But, in the future, i'd say hydrogen is going to move forward and/or fuel cells. electricity isnt there yet for commercial...
