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...

this is before, smooooth like gravy, But you can see past 5500rpm it's starting to struggle for breath

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.

If you need Big wheels on it go for something tarmac rally style, like a compomotive mo5

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.

any photos from today @Savage_Steve_1 ?

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.

It'll take hours with this monster if you don't use something sharp! How's the pms shifter?

The only Meet I do are the one's at Sherburn milk bar because I'm bone idol and to listen to @dann2707 monthly exploits

Iill see you at harewood then, Car 79

Dave the B*stard on Ninelands

you must live near me then.

Could of just bought a Turkish inlet:up:

M3 V8 by the look

what has the mk2 striker got in it?

It's looking awesome matey, Can't wait to have a nosey. Glad alls well with the dog:smile:

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

it appears it doesn't take a picture of this area

It's missing an important component though,

You'll have probably seen this but if not http://www.strikeengine.com/volvo-parts-tuning/volvo-700-900-turbo-tuning-guide.html

Can't believe I sold it, I'm now on a buying ban from the wife so can't even comfort myself with new purchases, is it going track spec John?

thats top money for a b20 powered car, find a nice 2.3 turbo 96 onwards with the m90 gearbox they're the best start point for tuning/abuse

Is it sub £500, if so go for it, Women are a funny thing, when you have a hot hatch in your 30's they say grow up and get something sensible. Ta-Da, Look love I've bought a Volvo estate, and then all they do is f**king moan!

2.3 turbo??

@dann2707 what about a short notice meet on sunday?

Nice one I've just bagged a set of 4 205/45/16 goodyear asymmetric 2 for £215 delivered:up: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4x-NEW-205-45-16-GOODYEAR-EAGLE-F1-ASYMMETRIC-2-83Y-4-TYRES-205-45R16-/252330586743?

87 is load rating which is just short of 2.2 tonnes for the 4 w is 168 mph so thats fine too

like this, so as you change up the revs drop half way between peak torque and peak hp
