They dont need rebuilding anywhere often as people think. They are alot harder wearing than std boxes.... Mine is 3 years old, been in a race car for that time, stripped twice a year for inspection, and ONLY ever had 2nd/3rd dog ring needing replacing which cost £76. As for labour costs...

50/50 is ideal especially in summer, but you really want to know what pump type it is, as some will fail after a while. cheaper just to run it on red tbh...

Find out what injection pump is on it...

gearboxes arent sealed, no.

not really, as when they are out of the car they are inherently empty of oil... if someone asked for the weight of an engine, I would assume WITHOUT fluids..

with or without mount :) lol

37/38kg last time I weighed one.

Just want to mention, regarding "failure testing" etc... They werent testing for failures of engine components now were they! Come on! Common sense after watching the vid tells us there were certain safety implications involved with that sort of failure. To suggest they were trying to induce...

My diagnosis was correct :) For the record, "it comes with the territory" unfortunately. These things will always happen. I think this engine is std internally plus ITB's, and maybe a couple other goodies, so no wonder a rod bolt failed on an over-rev....

Looks like he's over-rev'd on the down-shift, and thrown a rod/piston.

From my experiences I wouldnt bother with a Quaiffe ATB.

The ampage required to create enough penetration on that thickness steel to give any extra shear strength, could possibly distort the final fixture? I wouldnt bother personally. Its been done without welding, and without problems.

Yup Rover V8 in this one.

Crikey... S/C TypeR is quick enough, first time I drove one of them, I thought the damn thing was going to pull a wheely when i nailed it!!! Even the NA ones are quick. We are going to be firing up a nice kit-car project next week....5.6L V8 (forged internals, ITB's etc etc), Dax...

Maybe, but none of them can be considered anywhere near close-ratio.

Avanti sell close-ratio internals for about £2500. Other than that its Sadev for either a dog-box or full sequential.

aye i remember now :)

geesus69, is that my old mk1 cup in your avator?? you bought it off Gaz in bristol, right?? I think we spoke on the phone a few times? (Craig@ ap-developments)

Its the retaining plates whih are different, as far as im aware the diff itself is the same. The plates can be retro-fitted by drilling/tapping the casing to accept them.

Where you working these days Fred, out of intrest? Or are you still at Yozzasport? Sorry to go off-topic lol!!

I woulsnt be cutting seats back to increase piston:valve clearance---counter productive really. I would either: not bother skimming it by such an ammount as the gains are going to be negligable anyway; back the lift at tdc off; or relieve pockets on piston crowns to give the desired clearance...

Yup I can do inlets, cams, re-flash of ecu. email me info@ap-developments.com for a quote pal. or call 01639 845009

Have you had it mapped then Ben? Ph-reebone, cams, modified inlets and remap is a good call.

well spotted lol thought it would be standard-ish, expected a couple of light mods for those figures though. Impressive figures :)

What is that showing aginst the s/c clio?

Sounds like its way beyond my needs anyway lol!!!

yeah i did think that haha...lots of "M" names getting chucked about!

Matt? lol Thats Icarus's name if thats who you were reffering to?

Yup thats great, but not something I would be expecting most hobbiest trackdayers to employ! Is this type of function available on the SQ6??

By removing any PAS altogether, then yes that will reduce weight and increase power. Who is Mark ? lol
