Post

Hi all, here's the latest edition, 16v kr running weber throttle bodies on alpha management system.

It's booked in at Northhamton motorsport to have the throttle bodies balanced and timing double check as its a not 100%

The previous print out says 167bhp but it doesn't feel anywhere near that at the mo so hope they get it set up nicely for me.

Looks really good, I like the lack of spoliers and arch trims. What are the wheels?

These wheels are emortals. Not my final choice but I think there better than the gold ones for now 

Small numbers next

Hey my no plate is similar to yours, was issued 100 and something after yours, With regard ecu , would it not be better to get a programmable one?

That was one of the options but then it would need a modified loom and I just could be bothered with all that, with the dcoe's it's just a case of tuning them. Then if I add cams for example it's just a re tune on the rollers again! No messing easy tuning

 They have been delivered and the nice guy has changed the internals for the spec of my engine so today is going to be a fun filled day

Iv re fitted the 16v loom and ecu already so just a case of bolting these bad boys on

It's been a while since my last post and a lots changed..
The Dcoe's have now been removed, mainly because they are a pain!! I got fed up with them and decided I'm going back to k jet for the time being. 

I had all the bits anyway and thought id start cleaning them and have a go at polishing  IMG_0050.JPG IMG_0050.JPG

Not bad for my first attempt 

I removed the hole carb setup including the loom. I had another ce1 16v loom kicking about, Just need to be shortening and lengthened as the mk2 fuse box comes in the opposite side. 

With help from rubjohn (as we all have) I got it all wired up

First flick of the key and she's alive, so I treated her to a wash

 I popped to my local garage and asked to use there gas analyser to set the CO. Turned it down from a whopping 7.4% to 2.0%. Runs lovely and smooth from cold and from hot. 
Pulled up at the local watering hole filled her up and set off for the maiden voyage..
