You can also benefit with checking fuel temp to ensure the fuel system is not overheating the fuel.
the Emtron also adjusts fueling for pressure diff between lag of reg or over pressure also. It will also have cut for big pressure loss.

Pulley looks very nice, does having an aluminium pulley instead of a cast one not make a difference to crank harmonics?

I'm on a AP 6 paddle clutch it was slipping at times before and with it having the boost coming in early it was not happy with anything over 1.5 bar.

I'm thinking of going Helix aswel next AP 6 paddle seem to be slipping for everyone thats had 1 fitted

After having the waste spark removed that was mounted to the inner wing it looked abit bare.

Having talked to Dave ( Monster ) he will be making a rectangle alloy plate to mount where the waste spark was fitted. Not to sure on leaving it plain or have something engraved in to it.

How are you getting on with your quick shifter and 4th gear? I am enjoying my car so much that I haven't got the new selector fork in it yet.

I am thinking of adding the same breather as yours to the box when it is out as you mentioned to me before as I think I may be losing a small amount of oil...will check levels again soon.

WRC 8 injector setup and A/S inlet cover was removed and sold. Had some issue with the cylinder head. Rather than have it welded I managed to get hold of a good condition 4x4 cylinder head.

Head is away for porting which should be back in afew weeks and will be complety refreshed. Will have a standard 4x4 plenum cover and fuel rail fitted till decision made on roller barrel throttle bodies or may go back to a A/S pleum cover with a billet fuel rail.

Factory inlet manifold will be ported and matched to cylinder head if I do go back to a A/S plenum cover.

M.A.D Spec ported and polished cylinder head
New M.A.D Spec cams inlet and exhuast
New camshaft oil seals
New Ferrea Competition Plus valves inlet and exhuast
New bronze valve gudies
New lifters
New Piper double valve springs
New Quaife veriner pulleys
New Exhuast manifold studs
New oil stem seals
New head studs
New WRC Mountune multi-layer head gasket
All remaining gaskets replaced with new items
New 1000cc Ansu injectors









Remaining parts should be here end of the month
