Lmao, think your talking about Ryan @ Trax 2008 lol

Will be good to meet you pal, see what you think to the mango in its latest spec

Oh go on then ;) Some more teasers...







That's all for now, see you at Trax, or @ the ring on the bank holiday weekend :D

So is the car all good to go now then?

You used a j4 head... Thought i read it was a jp4?

Cant wait to see this at trax! Makes me want to strip and rebuild my mango

Not far off now joe :)

Jp4 & block, what made you think it was a j4 head mate?

Haha, it's taken bloody ages to complete but I'm sure it will be worth it- I've not driven it for over a year now lol!

Oh... The jp4 head doesnt normally have the oil gallery plugs in the end of the head... Or did sandy drill and tap them?

I'm not 100% sure mate, I know he's done ALOT of modifications to the head that your normal engine builder wouldnt bother with, the small changes make minimal difference, but when you add up all the small differences they = a big difference :)

:clapping:

your a tease....... anal bastard!! lols we love you jp!

after having a nosey this weekend I'm very very impressed

Haha @ Olly!

Looking good matey!
Might pop across to trax purely to see this

Front bumper off can only mean one thing ;)

Hope all goes well

Final stages now :)

Will pop over if your at trax, got 2 track sessions booked myself so might see you out there ;)

Cornwall bound??

Loooooool :D Not yet, it's done it's first leg of the trip down to Cornwall, leg 2 next week sometime with any luck

You should mate, definitely come over and introduce yourself mate :)

Yup getting towards the final stages now... You should come & have a chat mate, will be good to catch up

Awesome :D

Just seen the first picture of my custom manifold, think I nearly just jizzed :panic::panic::panic:

did you jizz a pork pie out?

Lol... Something like that Gav. You gonna come to see the mighty lcfc play anytime soon?

Yup.. Lincoln City are awesome aint they :A::wink::p

lincoln can eat my left testie hairs!

mighty foxes i'll let you know but won't be to long

This JP4 head had screw in gallery plugs already, most of them have and I tend to use them in preference to the ball bearing ones, for the ease of cleaning. There are several details in the engine solely aimed at ease of maintenance and cleanliness as well as cost effective and easy to source consumables etc. I like dialling in stuff like that to make life easier at a later date, comes with a warm, smug, satisfaction!

Ahh.. Didnt know that! My jp4 has the ball bearing head, all ive seen have aswell. I thought it was just j4 that had plugs

My bad :)

Good luck with all Josh, hope it works out for you brother! :y:

I agree with Leeroy, that sunstrip and tinited window / light scenario is outrageous! :panic:;)

Should be shot Josh!

:homme:

The LEGEND (aka Sandy Brown) at work...

Holy shit thats cool

What figure you reach? ;)

Amazing :)

I don't quote rollers figures generally and from about 7200/7300rpm the fuel delivery wouldn't increase, so the AFR was getting worryingly lean and nothing I could do to make it right. Fuel pump and/or lines likely to blame. The race cars I have run this engine spec in before have always had non-standard pumps and tanks. I think I'll leave figures for now, I only really trust engine dyno results these days. It's a nice engine and I'm proud of it!

What really pleased me though, I asked Josh to do a brim to brim economy test on the way home and it gave 37.9mpg!

Such a fantastic build well done josh and such a great engine well done sandy brown yet again excelling in engine building nice one

Holy cow that revs fast :P what a lovely car it is now! I wanna hear it in real life. If you're ever out on a track day let me know

I have to say it..Sandy Brown... You are awesome!

How responsive is that????!!!! :fcuk:

To me thats what a permance engine should be... Right there ready when you need it!

And 37.9mpg!! Who says tuned engnes are expensive to run!!!

Well done that man :clapping:

P.s

Is there more to come from it once the fueling is sorted?

Just expensive to rebuild lol

Yep, at least another 1,000rpm before the cams reach theoretical peak power :)

It's insane mate... It just wants to GGGOOOOOOOO :D

Trax is your friend, hopefully have the new fuel pump and even more POOOWWEEERRR by then - as if I need it - the thing tries to kill me torque steering all over the road with the current power as it is lol :D

Olly likes his pax ride......
