Only one engine

We think its on standard management, but with all the other gadgets on it its not running very well. A little bit rich to say the least. can the standard management be live mapped

Doesn't it get hot in there? Can't be the best place for the air filter, sitting on top of an enclosed engine

Sure it will be running through the intercooler on the roof anyway.

HMmmm difficult to see from that what management its running BUT it looks like its got a coil pack and the original air flow meter is there... maybe some concotion of std stuff.

Fuck it all off and have some CARBS... nice.

My point is, the air filter is in the back of the car, sitting on top of the hot engine. No direct airflow, so no fresh air from outside. Just heatsoaked air from inside the car

I would have some kind of air box, with a pipe running outside or under the car or something.....

Still needs alot of time spent sorting things out, but should be a handfull when its done

The air filter will probably be boxed into one of the side windows, the radiator is going in the front and a custom stainless exhaust is being built as we speak
