Hi Jason, well hopefully the engine will be sorted buy the end of may,
new ally case new barrels (detonation took care of two of the others )
massive intercooler with two fans ,oh and some 1.4 roller rockers
.
Just bought the ecu for the engine management today, made buy these guys ,
http://www.enginemanagementsystem.com/products.htm it was between this and a dta s60 but this thing will run low impeadence injectors and has a inbuilt map sensor upto 60psi and also switchable maps .We now have a biofuel ethonol garage at york so it will be 116 octane for me and a laughable amount of boost
.This will also control the ignition so the ghia will be getting some nice mallory kit on it from my car .I now have a long custom made oil cooler which i am going to fit under the frame horns in line with the axles .This is the final incarnation of type 1 in my car , if this vvv expensive engine blows then it will be alternate power for me although i hardly think in a standard form
.
I am going to mail rich about the rear of the 996 as i have looked at it and i don't believe it will be that difficult to physically position it in my car( famous last words ) as i have no back seats so loads of room underneath although i think attaching the suspension to a roll cage would be my prefered method , the real ball buster is working the spring rate out and trying to figure the ride height , i suspect trial and error will come into play here .Well suspension is over the winter so a bit of time yet .
enough waffling from me
p.s Helen says hello and there will be a present in the post for you???
