Are you sure it wasn’t a spicy floor?

Get the pec rods checked for ovality mate. They’re quite often not the best. Check the gudgeon pin clearance measured as well - again another area that’s not the best. I will only use Saenz rods, or custom made rods in the f4r builds I do now.

I’ve seen more engines fail with ‘race’ spec bearings fitted than I care to remember. They do have increased clearance on them, but that’s because they’re hard. Once scuff and you’re on the way to engine failure. On the R3 maxi engine I built for myself, I used standard mahle bearings. Still...

They do mate.

They’re all the same mate in the 1*2 and 197/200. Make sure you definitely use INA ones as well.

Stack dash. Ces’t fin.

You need to send an email to: allan@bridgecraftmotorsport.co.uk I am no longer involved with supplying them as it just took up too much of my time. Tell him I sent you and he will look after you 👍🏻

Only set available that’s NEVER failed.

It was, without doubt the best era for BTCC. Good old chavaliers, E36’s, Alfas etc that looked pretty much the same as what you could buy in the show room! IIRC the Nissans and Laguna’s were the only true 300hp+ n/a power units as well.

f**k and off spring to mind. 😂😂

@Tom Johnson can you a proper cage for this mate. He is fulcrum motorsport.

Yeah we are using some of those on @Tom Johnson ’s race engine

That’s how mine was yeah. Just retained the semi sequential on the coil on plug. The cam sensor is mainly there to run the fully variable vvt that the mk3 runs.

Ok, so this is PIN numbers you need to use on the Gen90 to run the camshaft sensor - as per 197 head conversion that I ran. There are also 2 different cam sensors between the 197 and the 200. The following information is suited to the 197 cam sensor. The 200 sensor pin outs may be the same, but...

It’s all about the plenum volume mate. You have to remember that when you crack the throttle open, all the air in that airbox will be consumed within an instant. If there’s not enough there to feed the motor you lose response until it has the air it needs. Also, you need to allow space for the...

Man and up are definitely springing to mind at this moment in time. 🤭😂

It’s coming mate. Rest assured 😎 Oh and for those of you looking at this - consider the volume of the airbox. Then look at the Tessa or rs2 manifold. Significantly less volume

I can’t see any reason why it won’t mate tbh

As I said on the phone mate, looks fuckin epic!

I’ll deop you a pm mate 👍🏻

Well before you decide to sell up, there’s a few things to try first 👍🏻 Checking leads/plugs/coilpack is easy enough to check. Next one is how old are the injectors? Worth remembering that essentially it’s all just old s**t now if it’s the original items. Drop me a WhatsApp if you need a bit...

Sorry mate - busy few days! Well yeah that’s not sounding very good in that 2nd video. Can definitely hear a continuous thud when you’re coasting. It sounds like it’s got some internal issues I’m afraid.

Take the plugs out and check to see if they’ve fouled at all. May just need a clean that’s all. Also, ever thought that maybe, just maybe, this car hates you? 😂😂

The videos are taking an age to load up mate. Could you upload them to YouTube?

Still waiting for gripper to get back in touch with me! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Yeah try and get some in car video if you can mate 👍🏻

Is the gearbox noisy under load? Or does it make the noise all the time? That noise you can hear when you’re spinning the shaft is the internals of the diff. It’s normal to hear them when you’re spinning the driveshaft, although it does sound particularly loud in the videos.

So many virgins. 😂😂

You can thank me later for coming along and absolutely anihilating that winning streak you were all on. 😂😂

Run them on standard timing mate. That’s what 438’s are designed to run.
