I designed the tank to have an internal swirl tank, baffled and foam filled . I suffered from misfire on low fuel when I rallied my cosworth and it pissed me off...

ECU has a 2.3 I4 on webbers map instaled.

Should be fine to get it running and idle.




Its getting mapped by the same guy who does mapping for mountune and originally did some of the escort F2 cars.

Lovely mate, great job... I have a normal Mk6 RS2k and to be honest even in standard trim it's entertaining, with this kind of setup, weight and power it must be fantastic fun to drive. It's a real screamer of an engine that too, I drive a hell of a lot of cars and none is quite like it... hard to put my finger on.

What spec is yours?

The manifold was designed for the roller boddies along with the Maxi spec cams and the matching cylinder head.

Mine is a kit car version, hence the sliders, the manifold just looks ace though lol.
