Power is easy peasy - reliability, now that's where it gets difficult ;)

NTK Lab grade sensor made of inconel and Ti with additional machining to the hex to reduce weight - there is also only 2.5 turns of thread engagement on the sensor, again to reduce weight. Current stocked price is £1800 before discount. It is the be all and end all of Lambdas though :)

We do them circa £2.5K fitted with all lines, tanks etc. Mods required include gearbox adaptor, machining the block to remove the lower boss, plugging original feed galley, modifying new stock waterpump to FR spec, Alternator mount, Oil cooler take off etc. etc. Quite a lot of work! We do the...

Exactly the opposite really, aim is a totally flat 190ftlbs from 2000RPM to 7200RPM which will give approx 260bhp but with absolute reliability for several 10's of thousands of KMs. Dry sump not only helps ensure oiling on long corners like Gerrards but also allows 12L oil capacity so plenty...

In short dry sumped 736/774 hybrid F4R with Megane 230 turbo, ARP fasteners throughout, ACL bearings, cryogenically treated 774 Rods, 774 Pistons with coated skirts, vernier inlet cam pulley, DBW throttle, smattering of F1 sensors and a couple of other bits and bobs :)

I thought I should do something with my 172. Full details will follow but for now I'll just leave these here:

Nope as that's right on the edge of tolerance. Should be 3.3ohm as that's the resistance of the firing circuit. The SRS monitors this resitance to check the bag/SRS device is in working condition. You need a low tolerance 3.3ohm resistor. Just order a few from Farnell or RS.

Large capacity alloy PAS tank with deaireator is £130 + VAT, includes bleed off tube and is a direct replacement onto standard hoses (you just need to shorten one slightly to account for the deeper res height) . Our grid girl is not included I'm afriad ;)

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Yes software is free. All you need for comms with the ECU is a CAN Interface. Any will work by ours at £89 is the cheapest out there and of course preconfigured for EC. Plug in, click connect, click download...

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Some techy engine info: - Total engine run time off idle = 9hrs 37 mins - Total engine run time above 6000RPM = 2hrs 12 mins - Peak engine speed recorded = 7989RPM - Peak engine oil temperature = 122 degrees...

I really need to put some work into that S2000 plenum at some point as I have the carbon trumpets, backplate etc. all here waiting. Like your RS2 project, some day ;) Don't mind the Honda into Clio plan at all! One of the chaps at Jabba is currently 20V'ing his Cup. I can confirm a 4G63 fits as...

I had a Quaife close ratio kit in mine which solved the gear related failures but propogated a number of cracked gearbox casings instead LOL I've chilled out and gone off mega boost turbo engines as I've got older, I think it's because I've got less time to keep them or the gearboxes attached to...

Cone filter out the bonnet? ;) Acquiring nearly suitable bits from other things is satisfying isn't it! I still need to find time to graft something up with this: One of our old S2000 plenums. It was good enough for 287bhp back in the day so it should go well once crammed into the engine...

Haha I thought those bosses looked familiar! I miss my GTIR, if only for it's many amusing gearbox failures. Good parts robbing!! :)

Bit more effort went into your plenum shape than ours though by the looks of things, our primary design requirement for that was how can we quickly tig it up from some flat sheet and not intrude too much on a straight run from throttle to plenum ;) It's all Jenvey stuff in the one above, boggo...
