Im sure all the hard work will pay off. Its good to see you are doing this project the way it should be done - by spending money and buying the right parts for the job, instead just working around a problem with work-around parts.
I reckon youll be wanting an anti-lag system next

22 PSI - wow!
Have you dropped the static compression ratio? If so please tell me you havent done the Nova-Boy mod of fitting 3 head gaskets
11:1 would quickly become more like 20:1 with your turbo. Where are you gonna mount the intercooler? Youre not gonna have to cut up your lovely...

Mine was due to meet me on the 17th, but has now been put back until the 20th of this month. I have a strong feeling there will be at least one other delay though

I think its great that someone is taking the all time and trouble to do all the early experiemnts and lighting the way for others by posting the progress along the way.
I cant wait to see the finished result.
Whats the turbo spec Joe?

Thanks for your help.
Ive found a company online who do it along with the head unit im after (£70 quid cheaper so thats like the adapter comes free )
Gonna order it now so it can go straight in once the car arives. Im gonna need some source of entertainment while im running it in you know.
This will not really help you as an air to air intercooler will warm up after about 30 seconds of boost anyway.
Many people think that an air to air intercooler works by ambient air passing through and cooling the compressed air. This is almost correct, but the ambient air is actually cooling...

Steve where did you get the connects2 lead? Do you know if it will fit a Clio Cup as mine arrives on the 20th and i cant live with 22 watts, so planning on buying it now - lol.
Many thanks

Sorry capt. you are quite right.
The inlet valve deposits are not carbon at all, they are tar-like (layer upon layer of unburnt fuel I suppose), but the result is that Optimax did in-fact clean it.
If anyone is interested, a very good test was conducted in EVO issue 044. I normally take...

It would be worth it once in a while as it has been PROVEN to clean up carbon deposits on the back of inlet valves etc (see EVO mag).
Higher RON is not a bad thing either as there is less chance of knocking.
The flame is said to travel faster through the mixture, another benifit.

Natural flames (i.e. no flamer kit) are caused when the driver lifts off the throttle at high revs.
This is because the air meter accounts for a load of air, but the butterfly is snapped shut, meaning only some of the air actually enters the cylinders, but this air contains an amount of fuel...

The best way is to phaze the engine in gradually. Heres what ill be doing when my Cup arrives:
0 -500 miles: max 3,000 rpm
500 -1000 miles: max 3,500 rpm
1000-1500 miles: max 4,000 rpm
1500-2000 miles: max 5,000 rpm
2000-2500 miles: max 5,500 rpm
You may think this is a little over...

Anything good or bad to report.
Cheers - Laurence.
