I'm no electrician but make sure you buy a heavy enough duty ring terminal. Not sure what amps are drawn through the cable but you don't want a light weight crimp terminal on there. Btw. Our terminal did the same and as a previous post says there are two nuts acting as lock nuts securing the...

Pingpong, you make a valid point. When I was researching our inlet design a number of factors make up the ideal runner length for example. One of these factors was inlet cam duration. There are lots of other things to consider, some hard to measure/ascertain. I'm not saying that inlet X won't...

Chip. Do the exhausts make much difference? If so, in what part of the rev range? We have 2.5" ktR stealth on ours. Twin box plus a sports cat. Sounds too quiet on track and wonder if it might help our top end revs with the centre box removed.

Trying to pick the bones out of this thread. LoL We are running 438s and wosner 12.8cr pistons. The high comp comes from the head. It was previously to us skimmed alot. Fred needed a bigger idler pully to take the slack out of the cambelt! Currently making 195@7k at max torque is 162@6k. Will...

Sorry Mike. Missed your post. We think its running around 13:1. Possibly more. Didn't know how much the head had been skimmed:-S we are toying with E85 conversion so we can get the advance where it should be. Do you think advance will improve output by a great margin?

Yep. Well, home built is doing it a little injustice to be honest;) laser cut plenum, one off runners mated to jenvey mr23 manifold. 45mm internal runner dia with trumpets to suit.

Bigger plenum and longer trumpets you say? In parts this thread has been very interesting but I hate slipping through all the unnecessary clutter. Our torque curve drops off at 7k with our inlet. However, not sure if this is partly due to the lack of ignition advance due to very high...

Correct :) you can change the probe count if you run an extended trace route.

That is a very good result indeed!

Sounds promising if it's making 223@6.5k

Looks like a good start Dan. Will keep an eye on this :)

That Cortina overtake was simply hillarious! Car looks like its trying to kill you. Overteer on brakes (backing it in motorbike style) and on power. Enjoyed watching that.

That's looks really good Russ! Nice driving too; you can tell just by the note of the engine you know exactly when to lift and re-apply the throttle to help pivoting the car. I went to the David Higgins rally school some years back and also managed to "win" the timed final run there:) that was...

That looks flipping amazing! Will need do read all of that build thread later

We had exactly the same issue on our inlet manifold/plenum as we used a jenvey mr23 to the head. Our head ports are pretty big too. We initially just used a std gasket but it had a very small leak. We still have the o-ring groves so we got some rings from Jevey and they seal fine. However, if...

That Chip is a bloody good summary of engine design and how certain characteristics limit or create opportunities of power. Also one of the clearest examples of torque/rpm/power. Good post! :)

Yes. You can do toe and a little bit of camber adjustment. Only needs a little bit of toe in to make the wheel appear to be facing in to the front

Have you had the alignment done yet? I think the std toe on the rear is 8minutes toe in. To be honest taking pictures from above is a bit unscientific as you only have to move a fraction and you can/can't see the wheel. Are you running spacers?

If you guys are running a standard scart lead (not component lead) the main difference you will notice is playing stuff in high definition surely? The quality of a particular hdmi cable will be insignificant compared to that change.

^correct. Why do you think Ethernet copper links have cable length restrictions also. But I agree that nominal length hdmi cables for most tv installs offer equal performance. More to the point has your Tv got a hdmi port? If so how long has it taken you to work out to buy hdmi?

Yep. That's about it. In the simplest form you may have a few edge switches (or a switch stack comprising of many switches) dual linked back to the core (which is the root bridge) forming a physical loop topology. Imagine you have a data vlan and a voice vlan on the edge. In single spanning...

I presume you have been reading the latest edition of EVO magazine? If so, I noticed exactly the same thing. Interesting question. Don't know the answer though:)

The West Midlands area group have held a couple of RR days here. Might be worth looking at some of the post in the regional section as I'm sure all of the results were published. Just bare in mind it may have been different conditions to your run.

Certainly look different! And HDR "can" look good; it's just that some people don't know when to stop:)

I reckon you have done ok there. As Chip said it looks pretty even side to side. We have ours set to 0.10 toe out on the front (each side) whereas standard is 0.05 per side. That's only because its mainly used on track. We need to order some pure Motorpsort rear shim to equal out our rear camber.

^Looks very nice! We have black ones on ours: Always thought Cup_Phil's looked nice in white too. Go yellow with black decals;)

Cheers James. Suppose it makes sense thinking about it:)

Is the cup racer ECU locked or is it funds (or waste of) that are preventing a remap? If it the later surely you will waste a certain amount of money rebuilding the engine for a second time when you eventually go hi-comp? I havent got a clue about building engines but I would rather get top and...

That's quite a combination of cars you have there! The M3 looks very purposeful with those wheels on it:) Clio looks to have come out well too. Bet you cannot wait to get the new motor in it.

That is quite an improvement! Looks like you have made a good job of that:)
