Ahh I see, I will keep that in mind if mine turns out to be crappy!
Anyway update time, I have been busy so sorry for not being regular.
But big news.
Engine has been built.
In the end I didn't go for oversize pistons and luckily sourced a block that could be used. So everything was built up on this engine.
But wait it gets better.
Engine is in with my poly engine mounts!
I am absolutely over the moon. Had a few miles to run in the engine done for me on the dyno and etc. And check this out!
Car is on standard injections which is why you can see the engine not getting any fuel around 5000rpm. But 246 and it is very f**king nippy. And to think there is much more once it is mapped! So that is 246 at around 5000rpm.
I am very excited and cannot wait to be mapped. So close to getting there. Car is absolutely lovely to drive. Highly recommend anyone reading this to do their engine mounts. I do however have some vibration on idle and feel it in the cabin a bin sometimes. But it isn't bad cause I only used 70 poly and not 85.
So I have currently done 400 miles and need to do 600 more!
But I am absolutely enjoying it. Driving the car has never felt more fun, the only thing is I can't go near 5000 rpm so running it in I change around 4000/4500rpm. Car is pulling very strong. Anyone care to join me for a road trip or want to meet up kill off some miles haha.
Thanks for reading guys, once again hope you enjoyed this update as much as I did!
