Judging on the rest of the spec I would be suprised if he knew he had fitted a rubbish manifold, its just different thats all, might well be something to do with gaining torque as its not free flowing in the way BTCC ones are if you know what I mean

I've been told this car may be broken before its even been on the road

So everything could be up for grabs

He said he would sell the engine for about Ł5k?

No mate

Andrew has run into some financial problems to he had to make a very hard choice

He is down to a 4 days a week with work, his part time job has grinned to a stop and he is looking for a house as he is a first time buyer so it has to go

Everything you see is up for sale

I might help him out a register as a gold member to help him sell the parts on here as he has helped me out in the past

Certainly a change in direction.

Did the engine ever get a final power figure ?

He still has the engine and its for sale, He had it mapped on another ECU and was making over 240bhp before he stripped the engine and rebuilt it to a new higher spec

He's selling the engine, dry sump, ECU and loom with all the sensors, inlet with airbox and exhaust manifold as one

It just needs someone to drop it in a car and get it mapped

The asking price for this high spec engine is very good

email him at freakpower300@rock.com
