Collected the 8 injector manifold from Mark today. He adapted it to accept our throttle body so we can run fly by wire.
Also have an 87G for car.
We'll run paddleshift with it but not 100% certain which route to take. Quaife do a mounting kit with actuator for £900 + vat which seems a bit steep!
Neil at Geartronics (nice bloke and really knows his stuff) can sell me it cheaper but I'm curious as to who else supplies a paddle shift kit and is the electronic/mapping side of it stand alone or integrated into the engine ECU?
I'm in no hurry to sort it but could do with some advice on alternatives if anyone on here runs a similar setup?

Thanks

Paul

 

Most of the up to date ecus can run the paddle shift side.

I believe your ECU does everything we need Mark? Do you sell the hardware (actuator, paddles, etc) needed to run paddle shift? If not who does?
PM me if you like.

Thanks

Paul

 

I don’t sell the paddles or actuator but I am sure a quick google you should be able to find them.

looks good

waiting to you get this poin


pasi

 

Maybe worth contacting Andrew gallacher as he’s just fitted a geartronics kit into tom blackwoods 900hp escort, I believe he has done a few now.

 

Thanks Adam

 

I'm a million miles from that Pasi
I'll be very happy if it looks as good as yours.

 

 

Any updates?

 

Not really

Sold Mark my gearbox for it................then bought it back
Still collecting parts, mostly from Mark.
Did buy an ECU with paddleshift, launch control, etc, etc.
Hoping to have shell in paint by Christmas.
Once that's done and we have all parts we can start the 'enjoyable' part of the build

 

Looks great
