Just added Polished Greddy Inlet Manifold & Q45 Throttle Body to the list :D

 

Been down to Storm today with Michel, Stu & Ian. Engine is now out, bit of paintwork going on in engine bay area to bring it up nice, new engine target fitting date is next Saturday, polsihing my old inlet manifold was going to be a hold-up, but now I'm getting Michels old Greddy that won't be an issue :D

 

Stu showed me the Tial BOV we'd be using & the polished pulleys (the ones he's using on his monster Supe so good enough for me)

Just been down to Storm to see the latest progress. Engine is now out, bit more spray work has been done to tidy the engine bay up, alternator etc sprayed black, the rest of the engine bay is getting similar treatment so the final result should be pretty smart.

This is my old engine & gearbox out, it's got the polished cam cover on that will be going on the new engine:

Here's the polished Greddy inlet that's going on (came from Michel, thanks buddy), should release a few more ponies. I'll be getting his polished Q45 throttle body too:

Thanks chaps,

 

Nic, hopefully the new engine should be back in Sat / Mon. It is being mapped 8th June so that is in effect how long the whole install will take (as I won't get the car back until then).

 

Just had a look through the spec list, should make for some good numbers when she's done. Good luck :thumbs:
