Gutted, i've heard manifolds are a bastard to fit, what was up with it?

[evans1089]

did you have to relocate the oil filter?

yea i did which took me a good 7 hours tbh... couldnt tap the hole, so ended up taking radiator and fan out to get a drill down there to drill the tap in :homme:, finally did it and got a bolt in which should hold, hopefully..

when i fired it up it woke the street up lol LOUD!!

Heatwrapp started smoking so i got the hose pipe ready in case of fire rofl

[evans1089]

Heres a few pictures of the fitting process...
Starting with taking original manifold off, new gasket, finished wrapped manifold, new tap set for oil return hole, then couldnt get tap to work so had to drill it, causing me to take radiator out and fan...

Then the new filter was fitted...

More will be added later... :y:

[3cott]

looks spot on mate.

what other mods have you got lined up?

[evans1089]

I have reclining buckets in the garage, needing subframes. I've provisionally bought some harnesses.
Got a newmans ph3 cam and vernier adjustable pulley in the garage too.

So ideally i need subframes to fit buckets, i need cam etc fitting and them remapping..

But i've now been told i'd need a rally inlet or something to run the ph3 so not sure on what i'm doing yet performance wise.

[evans1089]

Just recieved this email:

Hi Liam,


Thanks for the enquiry.



We can custom map your standard ecu on our rolling road. It will be a full custom map tailor made to your car.



The cost of this will be £85+vat per hour, this includes the dyno time and mapping. We would estimate 3-4 hours for the work.



Please let me know if you have any further questions, or if you wish to book the car in.


Many thanks

Austec Racing

I rekon £340 for that is great.. don't you?

[kornlover30]

Wow... idle seems really civilised for a fairly lairy cam. How does it drive?

Great tbh.. the throttle body and icv etc needs a clean at weekend and the tappets need doing again... otherthan that its mint :y:

[Liam_]

Any noticeable improvement in power - worse or better than expected? No doubt it uses a bit more juice as well?

I'm really tempted to fit one of this without a remap tbh! Although according to the Newman spec sheet, the power band has moved up the range so raising the limiter to 7k would probably be a good idea.

[Mochachino]

mate your a legend doing all that!! Good work!! notice any difference with ya test drive then?

Only between 3.5k-7k revs yea.. the acceleration between those is more reactive, and when your proper giving it some it doesnt sound like its gonna go boom like it used to while thrashing lol.

put a £10 in, done 30 miles and just above light :homme:
