The shiny bits fairy has been this week and dropped these off,
the cams are 438 to help the turkish inlet (hopefully here this week) produce more ponies,
arp rod bolts as the engine should still be producing power around 7500 rpm
RC5+ pads for slowing it all back down
And I went to pick up my...
they are a very soft side walled tyre, do you have a different set you could try?
It's amazing how much of a difference tyre sidewalls make to the feel of mine
Did you remove the throttle body to allow the engine to take a breath properly?
Overlap won't affect the compression on the power stroke, only the exhaust and induction cycle.
I think the 421's run more overlap than the 438's (anyone know the lift at tdc for 438?) which is where idle issues come from
and at low to mid revs the back of the interior the plenum on the rs2/sm will act as a pulse plate and cause some random air flow but as revs rise it would become more...
I have a few recent graphs from RS tuning and I'm fitting the manifold with 438 cams and ARP rod bolts so hoping for an increase of 25hp+ ish
we'll see.
First timed run was ok but not amazing, the second run was very quick but I had brake failure at farmhouse corner at 67 mph which was fairly dramatic.
I'm sure it'll be on YouTube soon.
I bought the same spec car in 2009 and was going to drop the engine and box in a e36 compact for some budget M3 action,
Unfortunately life got in the way and I had to sell everything.
Well done Jim that looks mint,
You need V power in when you're running those levels of boost, don't want to melt a piston,
Now get it tweaked, 300hp is easily doable cheaply.
I had a 1275 gt clubman in this colour and nearly the same spec in the 90's,
I know it's technically a saloon if we're splitting hairs but I think it deserves being in here
