As for C/R - i'm no mapper and only pick up little bit's i read on here and i'm sure i read somewhere that higher comp requires more ignition in the map making things hotter -
please if i'm wrong or have the wrong end of the stick correct me 
Interesting mate.. I always thought that the 3076 was a 540/550bhp turbo?? Whatever it makes mate it'll be very special!

Hope you're well.
Hi Rich, I'm very well thank you mate
Its a long story.. Basically I finished putting the new setup together, we took it to the rollers for mapping in october and had all sorts of teething trouble.. (I'd bought a second hand coilpack and it started to miss badly as soon as it got hot) we were half way through mapping and posted some half decent(ish) figures:
(please excuse shitty phone pics.)
Then just as we were putting some ignition in the map the billet fuel rail spat an injector out and fuel vapour everywhere! Luckily no flames but a very close call!
Here she is outside the rolling road...
Bay
Needs a clean in this pic!)
Back to the story...
Roll on a few weeks and we spaced out the injectors with some washers and I bought a new coilpack for her.. We went out to do some more mapping on the road and to check all was good before returning to the rollers. The car was fooking flying! (She's got a 3.9 diff now as well)
The next day I get a call from my mate Jez who does the mapping to say that there is a massive pool of coolant under the car in his workshop.. He put the car on the ramp to see where it was coming from to find the block properly cracked down the side
Hence new bottom end needed!
Some other pics you may have seen...
(Front end raised up to get her on the lorry
)
Back when the wheels were anthracite:
There you go mate, I will do that resto thread soon so you can see what Ive been up to.. Probably when the new engine starts coming together
She's changed in a few places since you had her.. Spot the difference?
Can only apologise for stripping her out btw...
Hope you are keeping well mate
