Ah sorry, I thought you meant what torque he made on the rs2.

Mine was on an rs2, not ITB's. Mikes made 160 odd on ITB's and couldn't get past me :)

Yeh, but it held that from 2500-7400. Infact it must've been making 134lb-ft at the limiter!

No, fly. Mine deffo got better with the rs2/197 setup though, so was probably around the 140 mark before

Mikes was 149lb-FT iirc, mine did 143, but was never a torquey engine.

Yeh totally agreed, they were a perfect match before. His ran 200.4 on the same setup as mine, and mine was 200.0. His was a ph1, mine was ph2 non cup so weight was in his favour.

You say that, but mike couldn't get past me along the back straight if bedford with his 438'd and ITB'd ph1! We were literally side by side all the way down.

Thanks guys :) Was a pleasant change from doing routine servicing, and allowed me to actually display some creativity and my workmanship :) even if it did mean an 830am start with a 230am finish one day!

My generic maps are £165

White plug in the engine bay fuse box is always a favourite.

Centralish, no. I use TSR in bridgwater for my cars, or I rent out MTec's.

100% not the throttle body. It'll ne a wiring fault.

Have you traced which cylinder it is yet?

Why are you wanting to change it?

It won't be the dephaser, I bet it's similar to cubs and one of the pulleys have slipped. He's welcome to pop it down and I'll give it a quick check.

I'm not happy using the Tipton rolling road due to the shite ramp rate they run on the rollers.

Barely. All the covers still have to come off, all it is, just a further 3 bolts to remove the tensioners and replace them.

Nope. Still has the CB22 vin.

Tbh the belt is about £30 cheaper than a full kit.

No.

Best. Post. Ever.

Pretty much word for word what I said. I had faith, as it cut out gently, still had compression, spark, fuel. So next step was Timing. It went as we came off a roundabout just coming into the estate, but literally 1/4 mile earlier we were at 6000+rpm!

Tbh mate it had the Megane crank bolt, so it's an easy mistake to make for someone who's not in the know :) Still, got away with it so it's all good ;)

Nick, mine wasn't a particularly torquey engine before the rs2. It certainly didn't loose any torque.

Very busy!!!!!!!!

I used to say don't bother. Now I say do, I must've changed 20 knackered ones this year.

Terraclean won't solve any issues. Snake oil. These cars run rich with an RSTuner.

When you get it rolling roaded, make sure you video your reaction. These will NEVER make 210 on RS inlets letalone 224. The 182 manifold isn't really any better, particularly for Top end gains. A flywheel has literally zero to do with power output.

Or boosted. As it's on the std inlet I'm going boosted
