Very popular with Elise owners, if you get the full cover it usually costs around £100 a year, which gets you x5 repairs per years and they will pay up to £500 for each repair.Stickler is you have to call them out - ie you have to break down

Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118 Cheers dude, glad it makes sense lol

Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118 In the standard plenum, the air is volumed into 4 near equal runners, so each cylinder gets roughly the equal amount of air, at a high flow rate due to the size of the upper part - the RS2 has 4 short runners, with a smaller volume of air to...

IMO the only additive I have ever used that has worked is Forte - Diff and gear treatment helped my Mk1 Clio's box be less 'crunchy' and the power steering treatment made the pump whine less.Also, IMO id never put an additive in the oil - a decent quality oil does the job, and if you need to...

Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118 Id imagine it's to do with inlet air speed and flow - the RS2 won't have direct flow to each cylinder like itb's or the standard does

Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118 you are technically right mate, more air and fuel will give you more power, but inlet runner length does make a huge difference to power and torque + how that power is delivered - ever read people talking about different length itb trumpets...

Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118 It's not as simple as just a map mate, many different aspects come into play - although the basics of a larger duration camshaft is 'more air in = more power' , there is so much other stuff that has to work with that cam, otherwise it is...

No I wasn't doing that about younot knowing dude - I just think you are wasting your money with the conversion - il shut up now about it. Anything else you want to know about?

Agreed - <8 standard looking ph1's :) (Though I do not like the standard Exclusive alloys lol)

:banghead: Urrhhhh, no dude they are different - everything is different

Ahh <8 :o

Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118 I think you are doing the right thing mate. It is amazing how different duration cams can have such an effect on an engine - It would be a £1000 risk to take if it didn't work (when you factor in fitting, mapping, then removing and refitting...

Just co confirm: Conversion + insurance £4400 Buying 172 + insuring £4100 then mnus what you get for your car - say £1500 = £2600I know what id be doing

So it will cost (if you have mates like Mcaff) a conversion with a few other bits will cost you £2000 odd, and insurance £2400, where as you could buy a 172 for £2000, insure in for £2100 AND have whatever money you get selling your car in your pocket?I have to say thats not saving money dude.

Noice :DNow more boost......

Thats what i looks like Gray - I was hoping I wasn't the only one seeing that lol.I know DD rollers tend to read fairly accurate, but thats lowwww

had a giggle lol

Bloody cheap Paul!

Fred has said what probably has caused it dude, but without viewing the car is isn't easy. Cheapest way is easy - but is that the best? £500 will get an engine off Ebay, and a weekend and it's in and running - but that engine will need a £200 cambelt kit, new oil etc, and who says that engine...

Smooth torque and power - must be a nice car to drive :)

Over reading rolling road - as per normal Also sounds like that was run up in 3rd gear - which would give higher bhp results than the normal 4th gear run

If your mechanic said that, id get a new mechanic lol.

New ones on the way, don't worry chaps ;) Now I need to find a Yozza laying under a rock somewhere.....

Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118 Is it worth trying to get hold of JMS again dude?

Lovely car dude, but am I reading that right that you had the RS2 on and made 170bhp/135lb ft, then had these new cams fitted which took it to 183bhp/135lb ft?

Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118 Id stick in the 428's and chuck on some itb's and say high to well over 200bhp ;)

Dynamite ;)

do you have any issues/missfires?'If it ain't broke'... n all that jazz :)

Not really mate, id like to think it would be somewhere in the 180's, but with decent torque - Where's Fred when we need him, im sure he would know how much the cams give lol

Cheers dude lol Not sure mate, ran out of time today lol
