Default Got the cossie mapped today

Got it set up on light blues with a new fuel pump and it made 382bhp with 380ftlb torque. Very pleased, it drives excellent now. Changed my opinion on cosworths completly as it was poo before!

Cheers lads.

The spec (as Im told by previous owner and from what I can see):-

Light blues
3-Bar mar sensor
Mongoose exhaust (middle box removed)
Powertec metal filter (500 style)
Rs500 intercooler (Proalloy I think?)
Sfs hoses
Pectel baby board (dunno what it is or does, lol)
Uprated fuel pump (bosch 909?)
Head work (though Im not to sure as to what exsactly has been done)
Baily breather system (with bit that comes out of cam cover)
Vernier pulleys
Some sort of 'BD' cams not sure on what number follows, lol.
Standard T34 running around 26psi (according to gauge)
6-paddle clutch (dunno what make)

And I think thats about it! Ive got recipts for a full rebuild last year with brand new 200 block (bloke reckons it was one of the last?!?!) rods, pistons etc. I must admit the engine sounds and feels solid.

As for the transmission its standard and wines like a pig !! so thats going to be the first thing to go I think, lol. It drives soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo nice though

Only got a few that I took a few weeks back. And I know its very dirty.



This pic of the engine bay is before the light blues went in. Its a bit of a mess in there, so Im going to start tidying up in here next.



Forgot to mention!!!!! I fitted these brakes a few weeks back and one of the braided lines was rubbing on the C.V!! I didnt know this and while it was at E.A's it split!!!! luckily Paul was just pulling it in to the workshop and lost all pedal pressure while rolling in! I was driving this thing at speeds of 100mph+ days before, how luky is that. What a plonker.
