Thanks Lewis.
Pump is in and solved the fuelling problem. It felt much stronger with that done and even before raising the 8k rev limit it was making about 8-10bhp more at the wheels in our rollers at 7500rpm with the right fuelling. Raised the limit as far as I'm prepared to take it (for longevity) and it still head butts the limiter. It feels truly epic now, blatantly more grunt than the chassis can handle in the lower gears and I'm very pleased with it.
It's on a standard 1.6 crank (without any of the worrying counterweight removal I've seen some people doing!) and overbored with slightly oversize valves, but still on original inserts which tells you they aren't as big as some people are using! I'm not going to be specific about dimensions I'm afraid, I don't want to fill in the missing pieces for my competitors. It's a package I've evolved over several years and I'm quite protective of the details

Not really, I'm building a full race development F4R with a friend of mine currently (Nick at Pure Motorsport), but it's such a pain in the arse engine beyond fast road spec, I'm not sure if I'll do any more!

Double JP4 maybe, but not quite J4! F4R is a shame really, lets down an otherwise good car. Probably shouldn't start a debate on Josh's thread, but the EW in the 206 is a vastly better engine on just about every level for race use.

Many thanks for The reply regarding the valves / pistons sandy! Very interesting! Congrats to you and Josh for an epic build! Also interesting to see it pick up so quickly witha standard crankshaft, I agree that some pictures of 'lightened' tu crankshafts do look very much butchered!!
Looking forward to seeing / hearing this at some point Josh!!

You don't have any 'high end' car owning friends do you jp?
