After a few years of amassing parts and having an engine assembled mine is now running.
It has the following:
8.5:1 compression
Argo rods
Ross pistons
Kellford cams
heavilly ported heads
ARP fasteners
Richwood manifold with separate 8 rib drive
Autorotor twin screw supercharger
mandrel exhaust all the way to the rear, and it's too loud!
440 RX7 injectors
Custom flywheel that weighs over 12kg.
Autronic ECU
Snow Performance water/meth injection
plus a lot of stuff that seems to cost a lot and do very little.
I have it running reasonably well but will send it off for a tune during the week.
Once it has the initial tune I'll then send it off to the dyno.
THe problems to date have been the moron who set up the ECU set it up for 250cc injectors and I run 440's. It ran so rich I've fouled 5 sets of spark plugs. I'm getting very good at changing them! It still misses above 2,500rpm.
The engine builder has left me with an oil leak in the cam drive (I can't spot where from) but I suspect the crank seal is leaking so I hope to give it to him to fix. Removing my engine is like giving birth. The engine bay has to dilate prior to the engine coming out.
Considering the only unmodified parts left on the car are the 8 shock absorbers and rear lower trailing arms I'm pretty happy it has gone so well.
I'll update with some figures when to hand.
