that is mental car would mine that lump in mine lol
top stuff.


iam planning throttle bodying my 2.0 16v mondy,wanted run about 220-230bhp max just wanted to know if the std internals would be ok with apr rods bolts.
wanted to increase the comp ratio to with out using pistons, if there is way just wanted to know how really and what gasket to use?
which size throttle bodies to use ,injectors, fuel rail, inlet manifold etc as there is not a lot of space and would it be reconmend to run a air box or filter system,my only worry is loosing torque as i want to run a really torquey car as well as running over 200bhp if possible.
was going to use ms too have got a few other bits on bobs already
any help would be ace cheers daz

Yeah he is, got quite a few bits off him. Waiting to see how the rear beams turn out, and considering buying a manifold/fitting kit for some GSXR750 bodies.

All i know is he's fitted a ERST rad from Radtec so he can run the air duct were the intercooler would be

He's a very busy guy and his dad has cancer right now so the car is the last thing on his mind i bet

Awesome looking bay, Strange looking exhaust manifold though, certainly different but nothing like the Tony Law/ BTB ones that are used to make big numbers on other engines.

Either way bloody cool and nice to see something without a turbo posted on here

A far as i know the manifold primary's go up and over and join the collector just below the sump, size of the primary's are also massive.

Manifold has been tested on race cars that i have been told and then this one was made upto for a FWD setup
