not had a 250 in at all yet, does the regulator have a vac/boost feed?

right, seeing as this spineless accusation is aimed at me, I'll reply Firstly, as you VERY well know, between the 2 of us we check the cam timing 3 times after the initial fitting, and it was absolutely bob on. so you can drop that bulls**t straight off. Secondly, I deliberately DON'T post...

on a single fuel line, with say 1.2 bar of boost, you're effectively using 1.8bar of fuel pressure (when it's 3bar atmospheric). This will very obviously cause the flow potential to be lower by a significant amount. All down to pressure differential at the injector tip

You called me a week or so ago I believe, but didn't seem to want to cut/drill the backplate. There's no way around it, you have to do it or pay for it to be lazer cut You also have to trim the bodywork a little

3 bar

your cam timing is bang on. Remember how bad it was before removing the old belt? it's absolutely spot **** on. End.

91 sounds high, and 75 sounds very low. I'd go somewhere in the middle, Try to get a stat in the low 80s

fitted a handful of them now, very nicely made. It'll feel like it's seized when you first put on the brass bush on the bottom of the stick, but dont panic, it loosens up just right with a little use

really? not with a proper ECU

that's a full forged internals, high compression, head-work, higher lift cams and uprated springs to get to 240

we had 2 supercharged clios on track at FCS a couple of years ago, literally all day, absolutely flat out. Both drove back to cheltenham straight afterwards. Not sure what issue there is? Personally, either is a great option. I've got a great fondness for ITB's though, hence the increasing...

could be 5bhp there with decent fuel

remove the hose from the caliper and see if fluid comes out when you press the pedal. If not it may be the bias valve above the axle is clogged up. Used to happen a lot on mk1s

talk to me ;)

also having heaters set to recirc will keep moisture in the car

so december 2011 ;)

blocked/dirty pollen filters are common. Lazy servicing

very good point, if not, it'll definitely be winding back the ignition

budget for an extra tank. You'll drive around the local area, do laps which uses a lot, and probably get lost at some point

I've narrowed down the best mounts to use after trying a lot, including standard and most pattern ones. Genuine center mount, £8.04 Quality non genuine rear hanger £15.60 all on the shelf

just over £20 list price

decent stock engines are getting few and far between because everyone throws away anything broken. I bought my car after it's replacement engine lasted 2 weeks before starting to knock and the seller wanted rid of it as fast as physically possible

torque's still pisch but you can see where the vvt is switching off on the standard map, you'll definitely have a great bhp figure if the map's adjusted right

they are ~440. but on a single fuel line setup, with boost they give a lower flow potential, making them appear smaller

my favourite bit is the footprints across the bonnet

belongs to Tigerpig. It's a lovely car

I love that stag. I like to just sit and look at it sometimes

My recommendation for a fast road rebuild would be ARP rod bolts and a well chosen set of cams and leave the rest stock, but to the best standard you can manage. Maybe headwork and matched inlets, and also balancing as the next stages. all of that should give you a strong engine which will do...
