feels fine, dci rack is direct mount to the subframe so you get rid of the standard rack bushes, not sure if you feel much if any difference or if it's psychological but i think you get slightly more feel for the steering.
yup, elecy power steering. use dci/1.2 column and motor etc.
for total loss you'd need to work out what's being used and what power it takes etc...
could always look at running an alternator from o/s drive shaft.
don't think so, lightweight ones available though. (off to check if the pms one is smaller...)
why not go epas or bin the alternator and just run total loss?
The one Andy did with one ended up higher power than average as you'd expect from the inlet anyway. Also will help a bit with inlet temps with not having a manifold on top of the engine.
Wouldn't go with a double pass inter cooler though. Would be worth looking at flipping the plenum over so...
standard cams have a ring around them, cat cams are smooth looking (easiest way to explain it) am sure i've got couple of pics somewhere, will see if i can find them...
it's from touch under 5,000rpm. can't remember exact figure but not much under that. hence people saying about the kick they can feel at 5,000rpm. easy to check the cams, just look though the oil filler cap.
bit of a bummer. cracked ring lands possibly?
you sure it's cammed/mapped? the step at 5,000rpm looks like the normal open/closed loop on standard map?
197 guts and head should be decent with cams. what inlet you planning on with it?
i''ve got a 197 bottom end to use in my phase 1. crank, rods...
am sure 10/40 equates to 75/90 as gear oil? know plenty of people who recommend atf in manual boxes, even some bmw manual spec oils are the same as atf.
