Heading south, Going past J13 (Huntington) on the A1M


Rear passenger looking at me... Guessing its someone off here?!


Noticed it had a NMS Sticker, and what looked like dark grey MO's

 

Sounds like the one i have just sold

 

Private plate aswell Paul??

 

Oh that looks good, I so need to get my car running so i can swap it.....

 

 

That saff looks clean

 

It is mate ,,and one of the fastest cossies i have ever been in

Built by NMS, and was so smooth as well as fast it was just amazing

 

Thats the one!!!

Who bought it then??

 

Very nice fella called Carl

Does use PF, but not an everyday saddo like us

Its not up to me to put his name tho mate , sorry ,, if he wants to say thats up to him some people like to keep things private and i have to accept that

 

Fair enough... Jsut they all seemed to be having a browse at my mini

So I instantly thought that they must have seen it on here...

 

Are you sure it wasnt the sign saying " im a twat " that somone had stuck on the side of your mini that made then look at you

ps,,lets see some piccs of the mini in question

 

Alan was a nutter for getting rid of that car

 

Tis lovely

 

nice motor, loving the wheels.

 

 

Great little mini mate ,,,,,,,BUT ,,,,,,, I was expecting somthing a bit more special that would make people stare

Unless you are 6 feet 3 and look like an elephant in a match box

 

All the NMS cars are lovely & well put together ......was a real shame Alan sold it thou

 

I know that Paul don't you remember my 3dr???

 

hi all only just seen this, this my new car. goes even better now full live map by msd.

 

Where are you in the country??

 

hi mate, im in cambridgeshire. 220 miles to msds yard ! id go there again though without any hesitation

 

that was and still is an excellent car.

the new owner must be happy.

 

very happy mate now stu has mapped out all the bottom end surge

 

Good service as always.................


What injectors are you running???

 

83 ib siemens

 

 

surge...on a T4?

 

yeah mate engine cannot consume 33 psi below 5400 rpm so boost has been caped at 26 psi. its got a pair of bd14s though and the inlets only a 4x4 plenum though and head isnt ported to the max. nms call it a middle of the road head. im pondering on eec iv inlet and full head port saw someone who does it for about £1200 gns ? or something like that. should see about 530 then. do you get no surge atall then on your t4 ?

 

Hi Karl isnt it?

I have never heard of surge with a T4.

I have only ran my T4 with a EECIV manifold or my new swedish style one.

My engine consumes 35 psi even at 4k with no surge.

Possibly the head or the inlet as you say?

Awesome saf

 

thanks mate liking your saph to mate what power you making at the flywheel. gotta be at least 530 aint it ?

 

yeah i think its 530 just now.

should see 550 this week

 

if the car was mapped by NMS, then i'd of been surprised if it had surge....

 

i think alan had turned the boost up abit on the actuator as it had shit loads of preload on it. and nms never got to finish the mapping as alan never took it back.

out of every company i spoke to msd were the most helpful and have a very good reputation so i went there.

 

I'd go for the EEC IV Inlet if i was you, the head work on mine by Karl was 2.5k really mine with a T38 on @ 440bhp isn't enough for the spec really mind you' i've told Karl to just chuck the boost at the T38 so it should be fun until it pops..

 

Its been a while since we had the good old "T4 surge Debate"

 

i know they will surge as i seen it on my own car. any turbo could do it if the engine cant take what its chucking out.

 

your head must be capable of loads more then mate. wana swap

 

Nice looking car must be fun to drive with that power going to the back wheels.
If your going for 550 i think the EEC IV inlet would be on its limit, im having a swedish style inlet fitted to my new engine justnow to save having to change it later if i go for a T4.

 

It is mate, that's why i'm going GT30 in a few months

The WHOLE car is capable, Quaife diff, Quaife gears..bla bla..

 

the only thing that worries me about an aftermarket inlet is if the airflow isnt right to each cylinder. ive heard people say the standard ones arent right either but at least with a standard made one youve got something cosworth designed and i cant see as they would have got it far wrong. let me know how you get on with yours mate. what sort of price are they ?
