j_jza80 Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Your being serious aren't you! Hmmm, let me have a think about this tomorrow as I have another car I could turn into something half decent! Yeah, no problem. Just let me know. Of course, you would have to transport it to and from York. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Whiffin Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 Big thanks to Ben Weeks as he's kindly going to lend me his car for Sunday now. Got quite a few things to do on it over the next few days though, going to be busy busy busy. Gearbox, front lower arm, tracking, remapping, rear arb links, brake pads, bleed, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Whiffin Posted July 6, 2009 Author Share Posted July 6, 2009 (edited) Right, I've decided to stick with the stroker kit, I haven't taken the engine apart yet so I still dont know exactly whats happened to it but pretty sure it'll be melted pistons. Also I'll be going over to a Solaris ECU, will be working together with Ryan to get it installed as soon as the engine is back together and run in. Cant wait to get it back on the track already!

MarkR Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Good choice on the ECU and mapper Also glad you're sticking to the stroker. Are you still trying VVTI? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for the moment, I have a head sitting here now but need to do a bit of research to see what power/torque you can get from the VVTi. From what I can see there a bit restricted on camshafts profiles available unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the Valcon plus cam which is apparently variable all the way up to 270 degrees at WOT on the intake side, and if what I've read and seen, you can do anything you like with the exhaust side. http://autospeed.com/cms/title_Engine-Ecstasy-VVTi-Supra-Turbo/A_109201/article.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
