I wish theyd change the name of the PBV - its just an adjustable fuel pressure regulator - not so catchy I know but a lot more honest! On a 16v some people report good gains with a PBV and others dont. This is because of the different states of tune that the 16vs run, including induction and...

In practice though, if you stack it, internal engine mods arent gonna be detectable apart from ECU mods which will show up as an error code on a diagnostic tester. Even an experienced assessor wont have the knowledge to decide on a cam profile and head work even once the engines stripped down...

Joe, my understanding of it is that on the whole, insurers dont care what the mods are. Plenty of people dream that big brakes and a decent suspension upgrade will cheapen their insurance...dream on. At the end of the day if I was an insurer looking at two 172s - one factory standard and...

Yeah spot on Matt, if it aint tinking when you get out of the car, you havent given it a good run!

Or alternatively just cut down your existing bolts if you need to? Just use a hacksaw.

hehe the problem is with your theories Joe that as usual a lot of people *do* run an Ecotek on their car and are happy with them. Whatever way you try and explain how something cannot possibly work, there are always plenty of people whove *actually done it* and will tell you that it works. As...

Maybe I should do an FAQ... Anyway its pretty much as coolspot said already. The only place to put the injector in is in the side of the throttle body. The Willy block will take a 50 shot straight off the bat, no progressive required. If youre buying the kit mail order and fitting it...

OK 4X definitely integrates to 2X squared. If you differentiate back it confirms: (2x2)X to the power (2-1)...in other words 4X. Integrating X squared gives you (X cubed)/3, because when you divide anything by 3, its equivalent to multiplying it by 1/3. (Whenever youre dealing with int. or...

And I thought you had the full set of cards!

Its always gonna be GO over SHOW for me. Its nice to have a tasty looking motor but IMHO thats no good if its slow. I appreciate than nowadays for many younger drivers (ie under 25!) its just too expensive to insure a standard fast Clio, let alone one thats modified in any way. Each to their own...

Seems a pretty straightforward job as far as I can make out - low compression pistons, custom manifold for the turbo, boost circuit components including intercooler and then I suppose just the extra oil feed for the turbo. Plus a mappable ECU...

no Im not there Ad! Back to school again for me mate so weekends are pretty much gone now, until Christmas. But I am planning to go up to York in October for a big quarter miling session if you wanna come up north...its a bit of a long way for you though! I will definitely take you up on the...

Either go to a scrappy that has them, or get some aftermarket ones from Halfords for £30 or £40 including switches.

WOuld have thought a 300mm disc would just about fit using the standard calipers.

Yeah but theres not much point in getting an adjustable fuel pressure regulator if you cant see what youre adjusting and just guess!

Steve there was a thing in a mag a couple of months ago about the Rage paints that can just be put over the top of existing paintwork to give you a flip. I think there were only a couple that were suitable for a metallic blue, one that flipped purple and one that went green.
