Lemon-Ade · April 11, 2015, 21:28:26

Great news mate , roll on the dyno time

v6gerry · April 12, 2015, 10:06:48

yep cant wait now hope it can make 350 with std plenum might have to change the injectors to bigger ones got 320cc in at mo , I will be pleased with that

Dave · April 13, 2015, 23:35:19

Sounds exciting.

The injectors will be maxed out but can just do 350ish.

Just make sure it's at least a 255L pump & you may have to rise the fuel pressure a bit.

v6gerry · April 14, 2015, 20:07:38

thanks dave for imfo the pump is a new bosch 044 , I've have adjustable fuel reg to . have to see what happerns on engine dyno when Tommy maps it .

mk2 cossie · April 16, 2015, 00:09:01

Sounds like it will be ready in time for the summer then Gerry

v6gerry · July 13, 2015, 13:50:25

Yes it does look nice and clean at mo made those figures with my injectors did think I might have to change them ( Delphi 320 ) @ 90% cycle and on the std plenum

mk2 cossie · July 13, 2015, 14:15:16
