Well it was all coming along nicely. got my exhaust flanges cut as per the gasket so large 1"7/8 headers being made billet flywheel ordered just about to order the itb and this very minute been offered a supercharger an eaton m122 gen 5 complete cannot turn it downfor the money nearly...

Ref re-use head gasket as for the sealer we always used wellseal and apply to both surfaces let it go tacky. and then place together this stuff would stop a rover from leaking oil and maybe an old british bike,. lol ebay link 131422638956

ok thanks chaps i know i am late to the party but over here they are not used very often especially in n/a applications and parts are scarce also expensive, i think the standard cams are going to be enough for where i am going perhaps a rethink of expectations headers what size pipework...

found someone in the uk with a set of cam blanks prepared to grind to whatever i require but they are for the non vvti engine can you convert ? will have to look through some old post me thinks

Hi While its out it would be remiss of me not to look at the heads will mail supertech. but would fitting 1mm bigger valves mess with low speed velocity ? and be detrimentle to low down torque. also no one in the uk does cams so they would need to come from Nz or aus ? who would you...

Hi George would never use an auto box if i did'nt have to. transmission is tremec t5 5 speed from a tvr using the auto bellhousing and a 15mm plate. just ordered my flywheel today and made a bush for the end of the crank will get the heads on a flowbench and see what we can do don't...

Hi Gloverman you gey quite a bit of interesting machinery in then what do you think this would yield vvti engine cop head work / compression hike / itb / good headers / stand alone ecu / cams ? would like a set but very expensive not sure if its worth the hassle as not in the uk...

Hi not sure what power i am looking for but somewhere up near 400 flywheel hp would be nice how realistic that would be i am not sure

AHAH thats were i might get a leg up i have just aqquired a sun ram 12 rolling road just gotto get some plotter and control software i do see were you are comming regards cost the ecu will set me £500 that will run the vvti throttle bodies £800 and a clean up job on the heads...

George thanks and that Volga looks awsome i really like the lines good colour to

Hi Cribb the ecu i will be using Programmable RPM-based output (VTEC etc.) � 3D PWM output so hopefully that might work if the engine is safe or non interference how have they managed to increase c/r ? does anyone do cams and would the standard pistons rev to 8000

Hi Chaps i am picking a 1uzfe vvti engine up to go into a classic reliant is this a good choice y/n can i improve its performance easily it will get a standalone ecu and itb's do i need to do anything inside the engine porting head skim changing components. ? i have read loads of posts but...
