Nice bits you have there Iain as Stu says we gotta see the before, during and after

Where did you get the rails from, they do look rather sexy, in a metallic kind of way

Ok here goes, for a start these rails are insulated from direct heat from the engine which helps keep fuel temps down I guess then instead of the fuel having to go in series between 4-2-1-3 which is the route it takes as standard it is spread more even in parallel by feeding 1+3 and 2+4 cylinders. Plus I can run Phase 2 550cc injectors. Oh and it looks nice

Cheers Iain

Hi Guys

Rails from Carl Davey

550cc Nismo Injectors from Lateral Performance

I cant wait to fit it all

Cheers Iain

very nice sir

Just spent the better part of yesterday evening and today resealing my exhaust system and wrapping the up-pipe and down pipe, I did not have enough for the manifold but what a difference it makes to the overall engine noise with just those pipes wrapped

35 days to Simtek

Cheers Iain

Holy moley mate, things are really motoring along! Power estimate after Simtek?

The current power figures are in dispute mate so I could not say really, my best guess would be ......... LOADS

Cheers Iain

[myles]

Dispute between who and who?

That does not matter mate, the 1/4 mile figures speak volumes, if the car is less than 350bhp then its even better than I thought, if you see what I mean.

The dispute was more of the car should not be the power it is with the std injectors and the VF35 turbo, if I am getting 12.2 sec 1/4 into a 40mph headwind @ Santa Pod in a scoob with less than 350bhp I am a happy man

Cheers Iain

I am sure a Rolling Road would sort that out..................Hint Hint
