Well you can't win a coconut every time.

550cc.... (low imp?) so you've got these well and truly controlled on the renix then with those extra trim tables!

Seriously impressive. Can't wait to see and hear it once all done.

Bravo!

Yep, good old low tech single pintle Cossie Greys... smile.. always wanted to be able to say , "got Cossie greys in mine" :-) ... got to be a certain age to appreciate that one, lol... Chosen yes as they fit the rail with simple mods to the o-ring seal setup, big, and low impedance, albeit I can get the Renix ecu to work with high impedance as indeed JV's is :-)... I tried to get multi squirts in that size that went in the rail, and ran out of time to sort them, Siemens probably would have been better... room for improvement later may be, but much to my surprise they work lovely at the bottom end on a duty cycle of 3-4% laugh...

Ok lets put this to bed again as I've been emailed by a few people about this.

610 engine is 3l, 610 cams, big valves, oe manifolds and big turbo, makes 265bhp with 11psi with no cat.

This engine Martin has said he has dynod he says is the same, but half a litre smaller, yet makes 330bhp at only 7psi.

So why doesn't the 610 do this?

Also, why does it only make 50lb/ft of torque at 2000rpm when a standard Gta makes 200.

End.

I think there may have been rather a lot of clever head work that your discounting. Just speaking from experience

Well I've still got the 320cc injectors sitting on the shelf if I ever get a chance to up the boost and you fancy cutting me a revised chip Martin :angel
