Haha you know somethings up when you make peak torque at 3000rpm lol

Again dont forget that Standard Trophy isnt mapped, which should unlock a chunk of lower rang torque. Only fair compairson would be a mapped standard car, vs Mapped RS2

Yeah absolutely its a fairer comparison. Tell you what ill do the same for mine with cams, work out the area between the two torque lines and see who gains more torque per £££ :) break it down and see who makes more where to

Oh look another graph RS2 vs Stock 172 cup, im still failing to see this "broad range" of torque the RS2 seems to anihilate the stock manifold with? All the RS2 does is remove a massive chunk of mid range torque which people seem to w**k over because its "so flat and consistent", and add a...

Congrats to the RS2 manifold for finally cracking the standard torque figure :quiet: Are people still forgetting the large chunk of mid range torque the RS2 removes over the stock cast manifold?

:cool: Spot the spark plug...

Get one of these... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vizibleed-One-Man-Brake-Clutch-Bleeding-Aid-Tool-/290487524649?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item43a267dd29 Makes bleeding brakes a piece of cake

I dropped 2 exhaust valve heads on cylinder one, engine was a wreck as expected. Although they were not original OE valves (they were pattern parts)

Mmmm mouldy engine

Ah didnt even look at the tensioner, but yeah as above, thats wrong too

Tippex marks would indicate a hap hazard method of putting the cambelt on yes. But you cannot tell for sure just from those photos.

You could argue the 0w-40 is the oil of choice as it offers best cold protection. But you wouldnt put it in an F7R, it would burn to much when the engines cold, understandable the tolerances in an F4 are better, but the same principle could apply between using 0w40 and 5w40 in that engine, what...

Haha i did skim through it and then saw it mention the bolts in the footwell, but i was past the 15 mins to edit my post and i couldnt be bothered to make a new reply.

Eurghh i dont look forward to doing this. Puremotorsport doesnt mention bolts inside the cabin??

Could you link me to that please?

Just removed the air con stuff from my Cup, the last part to come out is the rad unit from the blower unit. I can't for the life of me figure out how it comes out, the whole unit is really shoe horned in. Has anyone else done this before or is there a guide anywhere? I dont want to leave it like...

Am i reading this right, people really bothered about an explained anomaly on a graph of an engine output at 1750rpm? What has the world come to :(

Yes i have an addiction of wasteing money on expensive car parts lol

84mm is the limit i believe of what you can fit (i dont believe you can purchase oversize pistons any bigger than this), it brings it to around 2163cc from memory EDIT: looks like its 2066cc max as per barrons build.

Let the fun begin :D

I would suspect they have come off throttle for a moment and then foot back down again

If it were my car, i would be going to Ktec

I get this too, only full lock right though, left is fine. Pretty annoying!

Haha off topic yes, but banter about throttle bodies and engines in general is all good in my book :D Cambelt kit and seal kit on order from 519, sourced a Cup alternator and brackets to remove the air con from a very kind friend, will install the cams, not this weekend but next (providing...

The new RS Chav Tuner!

i don't really understand deep technicalitys of camshaft profiles and their effects entirely. But it's clear their is to much overlap on 421's for the stock ECU to keep up with the plenum pulsing. I would have a very good guess the camshafts are identical accept one is "twisted" to close the...

Yeah as soon as i've had it mapped ill have it posted up, was on RR'd at Ktec in december so i've got a great base to compare the results to. I bought the cams this lunch time, just need to order a belt kit e.t.c then think ill book for mapping late Jan (if they arent too busy!)

When mapped it was soft 7250, hard 7350. About a week later i then decided to raise it to 7500rpm and then about 5 minutes after that i was sat at the side of the road in a cloud of smoke lol, the extra 150rpm must have just pushed the valves past their fatigue limit

Valve head dropped off at 7500rpm lol. I rebuilt the head with pattern part "camtec" valves, i guess they werent up to the job (they didnt cost much). Chip see graph...http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q51/laine_16v/POWER-TORQUE.jpg although down on power it made healthy torque. Andy...

Nah no plans for a forged build, simply not worth it for a car to have some fun on country roads with 1 or 2 trackdays a year. I had 421's on my old build with bodies, and IMO the upgrade from stock cams was not worthy. I dont know if it was due to mapping or anything else? The cam "kick" at...
