Standard airbox + ITG panel is fine for pretty much anything on a standard inlet manifold. ITB AB65 airbox if you really, really must have an aftermarket airbox. Airbox design is not just about producing it cheaply. If by CAD you mean you can draw up a set of plans then thats all good but...

Mini's was a fabricated item with some components CNC'd. The Super 2000 type manifold kit we are talking about here is quite different again with various cast and fabricate components and proper spun alloy trumpets then a fair amount of CNC finishing on top to ensure accurate matching. It's also...

This isn't just an inlet, its a full kit which replaces everything induction related from the cylinder head forwards. As such it includes an ITG filter, silicone intake pipe etc. etc. Yes it will complement forced induction very nicely indeed. Cheers M

You see the bit on the CL box which says "For motorsport use only"....... Excellent pads, superb braking performance but they are a race car component not a road car component! Cheers M

mmmm 2020's :-) Cheers M

Posting from brands where I'm working with a couple of cars using exactly the same technology to generate nigh on 300bhp from naturaly aspirated 2 litre lumps! It will be very, very good. It will be the best bang per buck modification for a 172/182 and we are working on it as fast as possible...

;-) Cheers M

More space, more power :-) The Super Cup is now run in and ready for as many rolling road sessions as it takes so not long now chaps! Ben shall we sneak peek a photo? LOL Cheers M

www.britcar24hr.co.uk Full calendar on there. Entry to most races is £10 online in advance and its well worth coming along for. Get up close with everything from our Clio which runs in Productions to Mosler's in GT's. Cheers M

Yep Ash managed to bury the car in the gravel during the last few mins of qualy so we to had some gravel clearing to do ;-) Aside from the ECU issue how did the car run? Are you confident for the 2 X 90 mins at Donny next? For us these 90 mins are still a bit too short. We can carry enough...

First testing of the new rad setup was me nailing it around the circuit roads on Saturday morning LOL 1st was taken by an S1 Elise, which was in Class 2 but managed to blag their way down a class. They were invitation though so we still get P1 championship points :-) Cheers M

Bugger, thought I'd told you? Was a mental rush to get it out though. Next one is Donny. You up for that? www.britcar24hr.co.uk for the time table! Cheers M

This weekend saw the first Britcar race of the season with BPM fielding the 2009 Spec X85 Super Endurance Clio. To say it was a challenging 90min race was an understatement with Hail, Sun and Rain all in the race distance and a fairly large crash at the start bringing out the safety car and...

Exactly and It'll run in anger on my car - dyno, road and track before it gets signed off! Cheers M

Le French have done 800bhp with an F4R in a rally cross application and the Sweeds/Fins have a big one in build at the moment. The power is available. The demand to develop for it is minimal. Maxiboy - you'd be amazed at the reliability to be honest. Only allowed 4 engines per season for a...

Very much a case of not rushing it as compromises sneak in then. Simple box plenum could be chucked together in a day but that will never be 'as good'. Time here reaps rewards later and the decision was taken not to compromise. Must admit my lifter fiasco didn't help things though as a 3 day...

What engine life do you want/would you expect. Renault are releasing a 250bhp upgrade kit shortly for the X85 and C85 so personaly I'd wait for that then utilise all of it bar the SRT management and spec some engine control more suited to a road car application. That way you get an engine...

X85 spec dictates the use of an OEM pressure plate with a ClutchNet paddle! It depends on what clamping load the friction plate requires to transfer the required torque amount and if the dimensions are close/the same as that of a standard friction plate. Cheers M

Of course there is if its designed to/capable of work/ing with the clamping loads and material of the standard pressure plate! We run ClutchNet and AP paddles with standard Renault pressure plates for 24 hour race use! Cheers M

Decide on a power requirement then decide on what you need to achieve this. Or are you wanting them purely for show as per the VTS boys? ;-) Cheers M

My shell has about 103K miles on it, as does the parcel shelf, rear seats and errr that's about it ;-) Engine and box currently zero, as is pretty much everything else! Cheers M

Well DBW is exactly that, drive by wire. You can use a BMW M3 V8 or M5 V10 CAN throttle actuator and either run it over CAN or modify it for direct motor drive. It's not a big job at all to use this to drive conventional bodies. AT power also list a DBW actuator for their ITB's on the...

Massive and heavy! It was the first proper PCM out there though and at the time making it any smaller was not easily possible. Hyllus is such a neat solution for power management and when you see just how much you can reduce looms by (in terms of weight and cost) and how much reliability you can...

It'd be nice wouldn't it! Have you seen what we can do on the current Hyllus PCM? We have current monitoring to 0.1AMP accuracy so if you're running telem not only will the Hylus spot that an item its driving is suddenly pulling more current when doing the same job but it will shout this over...

It's got three Can Bus's on it so you can run seperate engine, box and chassis CAN if required, 1000hz data logging, full gear control (i.e. no manual clutch actuation down shift etc.), three seperate processors with a dedicated processor for engine position. We've ran Mid 90's F1 engines on...

Famous last words :-) make sure the assumed defaults are set correctly on it. Seen a few with them full of zero's which if you lose MAP only means one thing! Cheers M

Exactly! Water contamination is the biggest issue so if you can remove this you're going to be in a massively better position regarding stable tyre pressures etc. When you get into serious single seater and prototype stuff then Nitrogen can be useful. For road cars its just a way for the tyre...

All in good time :-) Pop over for a beer though and I'll show you LOL Cheers M

In terms of design and execution the ITB AB series of airboxes (which are used in the Maxogen kits) are the best out there. Regarding cost, labour intensive low volume complex shape carbon fibre production is extremely expensive. There are no two ways about it. ITG recognise this so for the...

Which is exactly whats going to happen and can I just say damn the prototype is looking bloody good :-) The SQ6M above is going in so I have the option of paddle shift actuation of a sequential box and active rear suspension....... Only 4 moogs and three LVDT's (four if I want redundancy on...
