It does happen. One of my old nissans had the timing mark on the wrong tooth, so it was always a tooth out. Took me months to work that one out. I've changed belts that haven't been removed since the factory, and sometimes they're miles out, sometimes perfect.
Re: Dave.'s Cammed, 2118'd Carbon obsession
best way i can put it is, "give the engine what it wants" it wont want more than than the stock injectors can provide with your spec. It'll be fairly high duty though.
Was just really making the point that the 217bhp guesses were a bit silly really :p
Re: Dave.'s Cammed, 2118'd Carbon obsession
225 injectors have a lovely spray pattern, much nicer atomisation than pico's of equivalent sizes. they're cheap too.
Re: Dave.'s Cammed, 2118'd Carbon obsession
it wont need bigger, thats just mathematically what they'll flow. Engine wont make any more from fitting larger
the profile is designed to be used with constantly variable timing. Did look at doing it ages back and decided the only worthwhile way would be to use a 197 style VVT pulley, and adding a cam sensor, (or using the entire 197 head) They wouldn't be a worthwhile drop in fitment IMO
pay close attention to that thread. If your "mate" says he knows better, poke him in the eye then kick him in the nuts. Cam pulleys MUST be slackened, the VVT pulley MUST be removed and cleaned out thoroughly.
Non genuine locking tools are not acceptable. Its a specialist job, and there's a lot...
I dont see the big issue with floating pulleys really. Just requires correct tightening.
Going back to re-boring for a second, it's generally good practice to start with a brand new bore, so stepping up from 82.7mm to 83mm would be what i would do. I've put together a few engines with 84mm...
your biggest obstacle will be the cambelt. £150 worth of locking tools, which have to be used the right way, or you'll be down on power. both belt kits will be roughly £275

looks like he's checking what the car will do if he has to brake, ie if the car starts climbing out the rollers
It's actually not restrictive. Did a with and without test at SRR on a ~200bhp mk1. 1bhp different. short trumpets on DCOE throttle bodies, and worked 100% perfectly. With long trumpets you have the take measures to stop it sliding down, but the newer version is supplied with foam spacer rings...
thats awesome. Last thing i made with that kind of attention to detail was this
(the wheelchair ;) Was made for crash similation testing of restraint systems)
Re: Bomber's Savage Supercharged Snorting Slut of a Ph1
no you're right, it's good to see a direct comparison between 3 similar spec cars. MSO, Seems you have a luuuuurvely chunk of low down grunt. I think Adeys was at 0.4 bar when i drove it and it went like a complete b*****d then, dread to...
Re: Bomber's Savage Supercharged Snorting Slut of a Ph1
Well yours seems to read about 5% up on SRR also. I know i've said it before, but it's time and again that the Superflow (f**king awesome piece of kit that it is) gives higher numbers. I'm not saying which is correct either way.....just...
Re: Bomber's Savage Supercharged Snorting Slut of a Ph1
I'd like to see that shootout done again at Surrey Rolling Road, Powerstation figures are always high, and their losses are complete fiction. They're always roughly 10% high in my experience
you dont want to move the lambda sensor too far back. The extra heat helps the sensor work properly (and yes the sensor does have an internal heater, but none the less.....)
