Thank you for all the comments

Good stuff!!

Will the bodyshop definitely be done with it in time? I know they are a pig sometimes

Power Wise? Its very hard to say cause a spec like this hasnt been done before so really got to wait and see and then go from there tbh,

The bodyshop should manage it within the time scale cause there is no repair work or removal of rust etc cause its a brand new shell and no stripping down and fitting parts.

Progress thread perfection. All pictures, no waffle. Keep it up!

Great progress mate

Question: Why have you stayed with the 1.4 8v engine? Any particular reason?
Surely you would gain so much more from a 1.6 8v or even a 16v?

Just curious that's all

Wanted to be different. This build isnt about the power, Its about being different. You see lots of 16v boost builds and a few 1.6 8v builds but nothing like this as far as am aware to this spec from a 1.4 8v engine.

Fair play I love different

What sort of power are you hoping for with this? Sorry if you've already mentioned it

You boosting on standard or forged pistons ? will make bloody good power most of the kit is the dp one. You got the dp manifold? Also I'm not sure but the Saxos run the s1 inlet with the icv in the side. I would recommend getting it alloy welded or alloy threaded so it's really nice and tight. As mines been siliconed in with two self tappers and 8psi is working it lose.

Will keep an eye on this.

Not needed for the ICV to be fitted into the Inlet. Forgot to mention i am running a 1.4 Quiksilver loom and it wont be required to modify like you do on the VTR engine's etc when fitting this inlet

skimmed this on moaners afew times, looking good, one question which i was going to ask on oc but forgot

your pistons...are they high comps? and is this why your running a decomp plate? or or they not low enough for the compression you want to run?
