Do you think you be at HLM with it, or is that a silly question?
anywho sounds like shes going to go well!

No mate, she won't be, the engine is still on the stand, I'm hoping for some good figures

These things take time,thanks for the updates look forward to more

Does anybody know if the 2.0 & 2.5 use the same sized throttle body?

Quick update, the engine is all built up, after a small problem with cam timing (We had the cam the wrong way round! ) Just waiting for the inlet manifold to come back from being ported, got the diff now, I've gone for a Gripper, and the turbo should be ordered very soon.

That is sounding very nice now mate, how are you going about getting it tuned?

[Volvostorm]

Probably going to use MTE, but, that can still all change yet

Custom with marco doing it? just curious mate as im going to be looking at the same problem in the new year, Al115 went to rica in holland and had his t4 custom mapped at there hq for about 350 euro's i think could be wrong but there is a thread about it somewhere.

[Volvostorm]

Cool, I was talking to Don about the mapping, he seems to think they may already have a suitable map

[Jamest5r]

For the garret 30? is that what you gone for? problem is mine is a t35 hybrid so no standard maps i would think, do you mine me asking what don charges for that? pm me if you dont want to make it public.

I will be using a Garrett GT3071R, we didn't really talk prices, as my engine hasn't been finished, I keep changing things, as you do!

Give Don a ring, he's a very helpful bloke

A quick phone call was all it took

If thats the case its a bloody good price. Maybe organise a group to go over and spend the weekend in holland. Would be alot of fun and a chance for basically £250 max to get a custom re-map. Sounds spot on to me!

Felt a bit silly after that!

Yes... I was quite impressed with their setup and also with the effort they put in.

The €350 price was, I think, a one-off, so maybe worth chatting to them before making the appointment. Put it this way, I got about six hours of dyno time plus the mapping work for that, and it seems cheap.

Tried to get RICA Junior to sell me his track CRX - he wouldn't

[Volvostorm]

Finally got them

[Volvostorm]

I need the part number for an R clutch, anybody?

[Jamest5r]

Better than porn that mate, looks lovely, forged as well.

Yup mate, forged and piper'd

Should be getting the gearbox back this week with the Gripper fitted

It's almost a shame to cover up that lovely kevlar belt
