Supercharged Nat

i like 2 but i think 1 would be better for a tat, doesnt look so fussy, if that makes sense?

Im going to be removing the head off me engine and porting the new inlet manifold to it. then drop head off for BIG valves! Then, erm... there was something else but i cant remember what right now

and she goes back for another go!

god i wish that were around when i was travelling from norfoolk to portsmouth! you realise you wont be able to have any fun in it dont you?- a mile long tunnel, theyl be wise to that, it have speed cameras, cctv etc.. well theyve got to make the money back some how?

ive got a burtons competition one on mine, not let go yet- he says touching every piece of wood in sight!

this wasnt a recent one but: me and a mate where heading back to the flat after a drive about. it was a short piece of dual (speed restricted though). we rolled upto some lights, i was behind him, his was a fiesta 1.25 zetec thing (mk4 i think?) he indicated right for me to go into the lane beside him. (it was for turning right but past the junction the road continued as dual upto the roundabout). so as i pull to the right the lights go green- i look to see him flooring it away from the lights and im still manouvering into the right lane! so i floor it, he was maybe 2 car lengths ahead, by the time i was in second i was level at the back of his car, then by the end of 2nd i was a cars length ahead, then into 3rd and he was nowhere to be seen! i got to the round about and sat and waited for a good 60 seconds before he showed up again (that was when the old girl was a std 2.0l bar exhaust manifold and K&N) great fun

www.vehiclewiringproducts.co.uk check out there HT leads- sure they do yellows ones, but i think there certain lengths. although you could buy ones that are too long and then shorten them...

What sort of prices do they go for- can anyone give prices to levels of condition? also where do people find em?- ebay not much on there, nothing on here either. where else? thanks.

yeah i did an st 170 the other week- he had me to start with but i was in 3rd and he was already going down the hill. then i got into the power band caught him up and he could shake me, i was jabbing the brakes so i didnt hit him! then i went around him and he just got smaller in the mirror.

PETROL AT THAT PRICE WHERE?! do tell!

agreed with the new followers! its worth spending on otherwise it will waste your dosh. fr31 will be a good choice. an inbetween the two if you like. check burtons though. their cams tend to be a bit cheaper than kent, and have a similar profile/ charactoristics to kents.

well done! that does look damn nice! i bet your glad you did arnt you? cant get better than that, learning a lot too! sweet.

fair do's

its sooo much better than a dizzy though, and i think unreliability is down to the installation or the installer (no offence intended!). Think of it like this- you have a dizzy recuved to give the best power torque etc. but you experience some pinking at a certain rev/ engine load. you cant just take out a degree or two of advance at that specific point with a dizzy. you have to have the curve adjusted to get rid of it. that means the engine now isnt producing the power/ torque it once did (or potentially could). Megajolt can take that pinking out but still give the torque/ power curve you want or need. I think the tuners that dont like it are probably used to a different system or dont know how to make the most of the 10x10 load/rpm configuration of the megajolt. these are just my opinions, not intended to put down a person or company.

Yep ive got in on mine- very handy for forced induction applications the only trouble ive had with mine is (and its totally my fault) the vr sensor got mullered when i didnt secure it properly and it rubbed the crank pulley. it left me stranded but a new sensor (12.00 quid i think i paid) and all was well. if youve been on Auto labs youl know the biggest issue is getting the mjl to talk to the laptop.... but these nearly always revolve around the cable that you use to connect the 2 together.. a laptop with serial port wont give any trouble. a usb to serial cable might, but not if you get the right one- see the autolabs site for more info. regarding fitting- you need to have a idea of how to wire things up, it helps to be good at soldering too. follow autolabs vehicle installation guide, you cant go wrong. take your time, do it properly the first time, no bodging! and allow a weekend to do it nicely and you be fine.

thanks guys! very much appreciated!

they wont give any info away- data protection act or something? dunno what to do really?

Im considering buying a car but the person selling it doesnt have the V5 and says il need to apply for one. its a fiesta, buts its had the quater light smashed, so im thinking stolen, but i dont know if the person selling it stole it? whats all the legal stuff surrounding buying a car with no V5? if i were to buy it (obviously once i was happy he owned it and all that) could a V5 be refused? basically could i end up loosing the car anyway? thanks for any help!

HWP299X Or where do you guys do these checks?- can i do them or is it a privilleged thing? thanks!!

the dont have to be super tight, just enough to compress the spring washers and nip the sump- other wise like youhave just found out the cork gives out and buggers up.

ive got 260mm discs and 60mm sliding calipers behind wolfrace slots, 13x7. but it wasnt easy!

ok so i hear good things about both, but which is the one to have? ive alreadly got a 4-2-1 large bore manifold but im looking into making my own stainless one, more compact and more suited to my application. i need to know should i go for a 4-2-1 again or do i go for a 4-1 i think the 4-1 could be made very simply and and take up alot less room than the 4-2-1. why do manufacturers make them so long? surely 4 short pipes bending into a collector and then one pipe under the car would be ok? what i dont want to do is make up this new manifold and loose power/ torque because of its design. i understand by going from a 4-2-1 to a 4-1 will move the torque about a bit but will it loose power? will i notice the torque shift? any help greatfully received!

my bad, i think its actually a 2" outlet!

Hi guys i need to know the primary pipe diameter of the Ashley 'rally manifold' its the 3 piece, 4-2-1 with a 2.5" outlet and, is that inside diameter or oustside? its the one used on escorts btw for the pinto. thanks!!

that befoed is cooool! lol i like it!
