Re: Road/Track 172 Got my new filter and backing box fitted today , still unsure if Im better to change my trumpets or not. Justnow they are 80mm long and 100mm wide so have had to be trimmed slightly as they overlap, with the new filter I think I could fit 110mm long trumpets. I also...

Re: Road/Track 172 Ive just bought a pair of Sparco rev 2 seats , so the recliners in my car will be going up forsale soon. Im also in two minds justnow wheter to fit the 197 cams I have or go full hog and fit 421, 438 or similar. old seats new Im home from work tomorrow so...

Seen these on ebay and if they do give the claimed power they seem good value.

Looking good Robbie :clap: I might have a pair of seats forsale soon that would go perfect with that car :)

Looks really good what offset are they as they sit perfect in the arch.

Will need to order some up when I get home next week, I got the Jenveys and injectors from Stu Collins with the white Jamsport Mk4 so took it they were a good choice for the bodies :dapprove:

Good to know Dan I got them with my Jenveys and noticed Jenvey sell them on there site so took it they paired up well, mmm might stick to standards or 225's.

Phil Im home from work on Tuesday and hope to get my car fired up some point next week on my Pico 480 injectors, once I know its running I will send down my 172 ones for you to try. Saves buying new injectors to find out its a wiring issue.

Ive just skipped through this post so has anyone tried there whole car yet? Ive seen the youtube videos of cars in America being done and fancy trying it on my track car, for the price of a couple of nights out it must be worth a shot.

I mounted mine in the spare wheel well and fitted a inline breaker rather than a fuse so if it trips its quick and easy to reset.

Re: Road/Track 172 Ideal as Im not back on the beach untill the 18th aswell .

Re: Road/Track 172 Yip I would think you would be looking at around £500 for the works spec loom. If you have the lead for the Omex you should be able to pull the file and email it , but to be honest I wouldnt have a clue how as never used Omex before.

Yes chip thats my point would have to be done by trial and error so could easily add up to more than the cost of proper cams, if i wasnt a 8 hour drive away I would just pay Mike to fit and time them. I have offered to rent or buy a copy of Mikes timing tool as I thought it may be interesting...

Mike did you ever get a power run with these after more mapping ? You have PM Im trying to decide whether to fit mine and pay for the time on the rollers to mess with the timing , or bite the bullet and buy uprated cams.

Re: Road/Track 172 To be honest Im not sure its getting sent to my mates house as Im offshore untill the 18th. I think Omex do custom fit looms , if not try CW-looms , they seem to have a good name in the cosworth world.

Re: Road/Track 172 I think ive sourced a loom thanks to Silent_Scone :cheers: , so will be ordering sensors and connection lead from Omex next week. Does anyone have a Omex file for ITB and cams(willing to pay) they can email me to get the car running. Just so I can check a few things over...

Dont fancy making another one do you Dan :)

Phil im going to be running Pico injectors in mine, so I could send my standard ones down to try and see if it cures the miss if you want.

1. Is the vac supply to the carbon canister this can be removed but I believe it will bring a dash light on. On a side note if you want to sell the 172 coil pack mount give me a pm.

Im already on it Phill :rasp:

Thanks Chip I take it you would use the Aux 2 output rather than the VTech function on the ECU so you can set a cut in and cut out point.

I know its been covered before but never seen a post with a direct answer so dont flame me :) Im going to be running a Omex 600 ecu so as far as i can make out the ecu will run semi stand alone needing Direct Live Switched Live Earth Coolant Sensor Air temp Sensor Lambda Sensor Piggy backed...

2 of my mates have similar spec 106 gti's for the track and they leave my 172 , so having to add cams and Jenveys to keep up :)

Thanks I noticed alot of the kits have a mount that sits almost in the original position, but I would prefer to have it at the end of the head to.

Ive seen a couple of cars in the project section with the coilpack mounted on the end of the head, is this a mount that somone sells or are they a DIY part.

Im hoping to fit my 197 cams in a few weeks , hopefully to Mikes timing settings will be intresting to see how they work on a ITB car.

If you still have the Omex loom and want to sell it give me a shout, as going to order one next week from Omex if I cant find one before then.

Re: Road/Track 172 Well bought a Omex 600 ecu today along with a Reverie backplate for my filter to give a bit of extra clearance for the fuel rail. Just need to order up a loom and sensors from Omex while Im offshore so everything should be ready to get it running when I get home in 3 weeks.

Re: Road/Track 172 I left the original crimped end at the pedal end as it fits into a plastic pivot, for the ITB linkage end I used the fitting that came with the Jenvey kit. Its just a normal cable end with 2 small grub screw pinch bolts.

Re: Road/Track 172 Yes i have used the phase one pedal and cable , when you unbolt the FBW pedal use the bottom mounting plate you need to drill one 6mm hole. The way i fitted it was to use one of the original holes as a dowel then drill the bolt hole to clamp the pedal , then it was then just...
