Jim ran 9.3:1 on his car, admittedly he used E85 which helped I'm sure but for some time he ran standard camshafts with the resulting high dynamic compression and very high cranking compression...

:smile: no beer fridge I'm afraid though there are a couple of proper pubs within a stones throw so if it's all too much it's not far to refuge.
It was many years of cold workshop before the stove, it's great to have these days though.
Ive never cooked anything to eat in the oven, it's had a few weird things in it and smells odd but it's...
Loving the cold saw, there was a nice one on ebay near me that I'd talked myself (that's not hard :blush:) into but it made more money than I could justify. TBH I don't cut enough tube etc to really...
It'll be as near as makes little difference.
Usually the weakest area on the crank is the radius at the edge of the journals, pretty much the same for all cranks. In this area the...
:lol-052:nope, vibration should be no worse that a usual 4 cyl.
Nope, strength will be fine.
If your clearances are ok there should be no problems.
"Follow the holes with a piece of wire and see where they go."
:rofl: All the way back to the sump!
Looks like a Croma crank to me. They have no oil squirters or balance shafts in that...
Having had a few compressors over the years and had to listen to them all and cuss them when they run out of puff the next one I get will be something along these lines albeit a bit more keenly...
They are listing the rod bearings as suitable for 8v and 16v, as far as I know the tangs are different on the two engines so not possible to use them on both engines, hmmmm.
It's a quick car no doubt but be careful when people claim BHP numbers.
Here's a car with less and this really can shift, I like the picture of the driveshaft from the 7 second run :clap:

Without a doubt, more air needs more fuel!
Cool, a kappa is a good move from standard. Will you consider having the car remapped?
The inside of the rubber spacers are stepped to provide a smooth transition between the two cast parts. A...
A suitable flat bladed screwdriver located under the worm drive (next to the band) and given a belt will split the clip without damaging the hose, no mercy at that stage I say! Takes a bit of...
Helps to spread the word folks and don't be shy
The incoming air doesn't really "see" the area at the entrance to the head, your right it is too big and certainly doesn't needed reworked unless getting crazy with power. The incoming air direction...
Valve sealing problem?
Spark?
Fueling?
The kappa manifold is a nice piece BUT it is suffering the problem you describe of being too small in cross sectional size for a reworked cylinderhead, this is the case up the full length of the...
Hi Juergen :thumb: welcome.
It is a good forum, have a dig about there's some good info.
%'s of improvement, they all help :-)
If you car is really fast an upturned side exit (on both side) helps a little with stability/traction, like zoomies on a dragster or as RedBull did in F1...
No exhaust is best for a turbo engine! Not practical I know but that's the truth, every psi of back pressure in the downpipe is felt by the turbine and in turn seen on the manifold/engine side of the...
I'll surely have a drink to that :clap:
Amazing it's two years, time flys, worth an extra no doubt :smile:
Steve! :thumbsup:
Another year :driving-014:
:biggrin: Envy, I feel it :lol-052:
