yes, RT, the more the merrier, but it needs to be a controlled experiment.
Paddy, Brun, RT ??.. if you are up for it, so am I..
Brun, if so, can you get your contact at PGti and see if he is interested ?. His car would be useful too.
As said before, there...
Ok, heres what I suggest we do.. if anyones interested
Brun m8. ??
How do you fancy organising the following little test ?
I think we may get the following interested parties..

pGti mag
Nick Hill
Me
and, perhaps reno themselves...
We take pGtis 172, and also Paddys...

Didnt put mine on today as the last time it went Bez due to the half a traction control.. .. Reno are sposed to be blowing the ecu next week.
Running in could have a lot to do with it due to the fact that bloody synthetic oils are sheeeeeeeeeeet for running in.
Obviously petrol is a...
a small crack ???.. you mean in the metal, or the paint... ?
Either could point to a full respray (a poor one ) or accident damage... look a bit closer..
Well, I thought I would stat a new thread for this one.
There is always differences in actual output of high spec engines, however, what we saw today, on a roller that I do trust, was a variation of over 10%.. that is A LOT, and poses a question re quality control surely ?. However, in the...

Many surprises, many happy people..
brief results...
Willys, from 130 -140 @wheels..
172s from 136-152 @wheels..
Niels V6 190 @wheels.
The quickest 172 (up to me leaving) was an absolutely standard Mk2.!!. (Nice one Paddy ) (152 @wheels..)

Hi Lofty,
I cant say it dont work, but its use to reduce detonation is limited.
its main benefit comes from its thermal properties and ability to resist carbon build up leading to pre-ignition or hot spotting which can induce detonation.
high cylinder pressure detonation though, is not...

wasnt it, and isnt it, the biggest, or one of the biggest, marketing scams to ever plague the drivers of theis world ??
limited.. means......... as many as wee can sell...
about as classic as an R Whites lemonade bottle... lol
Joe..........
(Slarty runs to air raid shelter lol )
ak, perhaps it WOULD be good to get yer motor on the rollers
Nick was goonna bring his brides wheels, but if ya wanted, I am sure he could test yours.... ??
Better ring his moby though, he will be setting off early..
Joe..
yep, that WOULD be good.
the interesting part that the wizard oft omits is thus
IF your inlet / exhaust (and mainly exhaust) is strangled at normal peak poewer.. it will be even more strangled at nos power..
if ya get it in... ya gotta get it out....
you dont get owt fer nowt matey..

Hi guys n gals.
ok.. spec for pistons (FINALLY!) decided - will be custom made next week (for me n Mathew).
8:1 cr forged pistons from OMEGA blanks.
(£130 per piston)
ECU, finally decided on the lumenition system in addition to the std 172 ecu.
Lumenition will run injectors...
why would you want a sun roof with that superb climate control ..
ooooooops, unless it was a cup lol...
seriously, it weakens the shell.. never ever never... (for me anyways!)
Joe.
