I find it's more getting a stretch gauge in to do the big end fasteners back up thats the problem. Cheers M

Drop me a PM mate - we'll talk ;-) Cheers M

Yeah yeah, Grey iron at that LOL You know steel is good slang for anything none composite/carbon ;-) Cheers M

You don't need 4 pots and big discs, it's just adding unsprung mass. All you need are standard calipers in good order with a decent steel disc and good pad material. Cheers M

Simulations done, prototype in fabrication, BOM signed off, test engine built and engine and manifold in car end of month, mapped, validated and figures etc. published first week in March at which point the first batch goes into production. Those on the waiting list get first refusal for the...

F4R 830 family but there are various version of it. Cheers M

Super-2000 Type inlet manifold and a map. Should see you with a very healthy increase over standard. Then some decent pads and track tuition. Don't really need much more than that TBH! Cheers M

Standard engine...... but not a standard Exige engine ;-) Looks nice! Cheers M

Do it! Oil tank in passenger footwell FTFW ;-) Cheers M

If you're comfortable doing it Danny then more power to you! Cheers M

Probably the 736 is the 172 Cup lump. Cheers M

F4R 830 Super 2000 Engine, 280bhp+ @ 8500RPM, Wet Sump. Interesting one for you ;-) Cheers M

730 = Ph1 172, Cable 736 = Ph2 172, DBW 738 = 182 I tend to refer to them all as 730 for 172/182 as they're basicaly the same in terms of parts compatibility etc. Cheers M

Bendy Magnets = Best Friend LOL You know its bad when you've got the bore scope out to see where the bolts gone ;-) Cheers M

Also the four fiddly f**kers on the gearbox side of the sump, when removing make sure you don't drop them into the bell housing.............. like I have obviously never done after reinstalling every fastener on the sump ;-) Cheers M

Nope you've lost me. Do you mean the timing belt drive pulley on the crank? If so you need the Renault tool to pull it off easily. It bolts into the two small threaded holes on the pulley and pushes it off against the block. Cheers M

No. Build it to bang on standard tolerances, replace the bearings and plastigauge to ensure clearances are correct and if you have a few quid spare fit ARP2000 big end fasteners to ensure reliable sustained high RPM use. Obviously have the block properly honed as well to ensure good ring pack...

Offer Fred diesel money and an hours time and if he's got a spare few hours I'd have thought he'd sort you out if at all possible. Plus that means he and I can have a beer in Cambs that night ;-) Cheers M

You can in so far as I've done it. Can't get No 1 and No 4 big ends apart though in the car as there isn't enough room to get tools in. Cheers M

Yes it would. Sodemo and JGE use a similar setup on their force inducted engines. Cheers M

What the f**k is that?

If the lifters are the same as an F4R they will but don't rev it beyond 8K ever! Cheers M

Oh Back On Topic? You crazy kids and your street speak ;-)

BOT? WTF? ;-) Mini - you'll be fine with the spec CAT springs and retainers. Cheers M

They'll be a version supporting cable throttle body but it will be a made to order job as there simply aren't enough cable body cars out there to do a 'run' of cable throttle body manifolds. In short don't worry we can sort you out ;-) Cheers M

Assuming you have sufficent capacity in the fuel system pretty much any car will run it. You need more E85 for the same amount of burn when compared to petrol hence your fuel pump and injectors need to be larger to compensate. Electronic control makes it pretty easy to mix and match as...

Pretty much, but its not a 'bang' its a 'burn'. You only get a 'bang' if somethings gone wrong i.e. lean mixture, hot component in the chamber etc and the mixture lights of spontaniously i.e. det. Idealy you want a smoothly propogating burn where the flame front travels away from the plug...

IRO 11.25mm inlet and 10.25mm exhaust - thats acceptable for GrpN anyway where you are supposed to run standard cams. Gives you some idea how good the S2000 engines are doesn't it! Regs dictate you are allowed .25mm LESS lift than standard! Cheers M

It's alright mate. F4R830/192 Inlet manifold is good for 230bhp so you don't need to worry about it yet ;-) Cheers M

I suppose so ;-) Anyone who wants to be on the waiting list PM me and we'll go from there. Would be useful actualy to gauge how large we need to make the first production batch. I'm sure I can sort a few sneak peek pics out over the next couple of weeks for those on the waiting list as...
