There is a wealth of information and knowledge on the F4R and its varients. If there is anything specific you want to know then just PM me. From the factory, assembly isnt what you'd compare to some K20A or B18c's....the quality of manufacture, design just isnt there. Geometry wise the short...

they have several TPS's

nope, they are hydraulic bucket type, not rocker.

normal NGK's are the best.

Best comes to those who wait. least it wont do something silly, like.....i dunno, fall apart ;)

how does that test anything at all? Even your spare wheel can hold up to that.

The static CR really means very little when you consider it as a means to decide on performance and reliability. You have to know the dynamic CR's you will be running at the points of peak VE. If you never hit 100% VE then you will never hit the calculated static CR, if you do and go over it...

honestly John, you gotta stop using rohypnol.

With the viper it seems to be more of an issue with the entry cross sectional area since it is so small with the top hat thing for the cold air feed on, and the entry profile is just rubbish. The viper is a positively teeny filter with a very low bhp rating, so you need to help it out as...

They should ideally be there before i get back! :D

yea, but its not like the states where a comprehensive breakdown is given. The best information we have in terms of what constitutes their fuels is, nada. We know what the commercially available competition fuels use, but our customers just dont use these fuels. So when it comes to...

come on, lets not go back a few steps.........people were talking of the vag engine a few mins ago............

There are better, but the sachs kit was more of a new era for damping control on a low cost mass produced hot hatch, rather than the be all and end all.

well, kinda.......honda bhp figures dont follow the lines of the rest of the world........i'm always battling against the honda BHP which seems to be about 10% higher than other cars lol.......its all the influence from the states. True, they can make 240bhp in a well built grpN engine, but...

Yup, i'd put it out there in the top 5 or 6 4cylinders engines out there at the moment.

If your swapping in a Honda, stick with the K.

Get a mate to apply full lock and watch the PAS pump pulley. Normally high pitch squeel is the pulley locking up because the belt is old or under tensioned. No biggie.

i dont trust a word from the evo camp anyway, so no thanks lol..........

but to travel a large distance just for some extra detergents that only really do anything over 40,000 miles of use!?

well, do you even need 98 or 99?

86.9...........sheesh, why dont i just look at the internet sometimes. So the RON average for tesco is 93 and 92.45 for optimax.......... So on paper, tesco is better all round......with the benefit of price.

well doh!!! lol no seriously, credit due to tesco for actually saying their MON is a paltry 87 lol! who in the real world gives a crap about RON!? what is optimax anyway, i've still not found out, or rather, they've not replied to my emails.

yea, but you dont realise just how short the lengths become, highly unfavourable. Hence the 205bhp for their quoted output.

In a very poor and basic trim, it wouldnt be very nice and you'd make more power from swapping to 2ltr. In every case you NEED to drop in a slimline rad, it just prevents any induction length and generates massive induction temps.

Now somebody needs to find out the MON/RON of optimax so we can tell which fuel is actually better.

no way man.......cpu fans can flow over 1000cfm at under 1psi¬!

The ECU does have long and short term trim tables, which are wiped out when power is lost for different amounts of time. But simply running totally closed loop isnt always a great idea. First the lambdas in the std car arent accurate enough at any great varience from stoich, so they cannot...

OK, translating each paragraph. 1psi is not a problem, the engine can handle it.......it is afterall only a 7% increase in density roughly. The problem is the 1psi boost increasing airflow to a level above which the ecu can 'see' and isnt correcting for. :S

really? if i just click the link then it comes up.
