Small update for you....

Bought some bits to run a direct 12V supply to fuel pump, to get rid of the old loom running under the car, now the original pump feed fires up a new relay, running my new cabling, The earth for the pump goes direct back to the battery only thing I gotta do to sort it is source a new plug for the top of the tank (as per pics)







Oh and just a little note also, I have dropped all my old engine bits to Harvey Gibbs @ SCS I just KNEW I was gonna end up going silly

basic spec....

big wing baffled sump
std crank
std rods
lowered comp pistons with valve cutouts
BRAND spanking new block, which will be Longstudded
GENUINE WRC headgasket
Head, slight work around valve seat area, other than that std, obviously new guides lifters etc
Light Blue injectors
T34

FULL Dyno map by Harvey Gibbs and Ahmed Bayjoo

Other stuff I gotta sort,

New bosch 023 fuel pump
Alcon 6 Paddle clutch
Custom genuine PECTEL Engine loom
dizzyless ignition (coil pack)




that little lot will come in at a shade over 6k ... I KNEW IT I bloody knew I would go overboard

No point going greys, AFAIK Power is limited by my turbo and head/cams Benn. Well I just go on the advise of my engine builder lol.

Dave it is, well yours, Harvey's and Ahmeds

All I wanted was a SAFE STRONG reliable STG III, hence the WRC gasket and long studs, aswell as new block and injectors, the rest is just incidental so more power too will defo soften the blow

*Anna*,

I'm not .... otherwise I would simply put it into my sig THEN it would be in every post

Anna, If you wish to have a public discussion regarding the rights, wrongs and social etiquette with regards to paying friends / associates who do a job for you without prior agreement regarding longterm payment options we can do, otherwise please dont fire off at me.... When I am not the one in the wrong..... Paul knows he owes me money as do I obviously, Paul knows I am not hassling him big style for the money, though obviously NOW I do need it ASAP.... simple... Contrary to popular opinion I am not a rich man

DAve when you taking your tank up?

Neither have I I don't think you ever get used to it, but once it's been run in, and you put your foot down when it's fully mapped/ set up, you soon forget about the big bill you paid out......



Until your bank writes to you at least
