First drive of the thing looks promising, I have NOT given it wot yet, but from 1500rpm in 2nd gear, with 1/4 throttle it seems to just turn the tyres........

First thing we did was remove the blower/manifold again because the manifold had no boost reference point for the fuel regulator.. I only noticed this when I started tuning it wondering why it kept going lean given the fuel I was commanding.So in talking to ken from Harrop, he suggested this could be due to a pre-production unit that Herrods got their hands on (which is whom we bought this kit from).After I put a boost refrence into the manifold, I changed the plugs, and strapped it to the dyno.First thing we noticed was the kit was 12psi, Mixed with a incredibly high compression ratio of 10.8:1, a few runs were done, and it was decided we are really pushing things too hard. I assumed this was a 8psi pulley, and given I could only put about 4degrees timing at peak torque indicated there was too much dynamic compression.At this point, it made a lazy 292rwkw. Any more timing anywhere in the rpm caused it to detonate.A larger pulley is in order now hopefully to bring boost down to a lower 8psi where we can put some timing into the engine, and make it effecient!

Christian only just got 3 pulleys from harrop of different sizes to see what size gives what boost.he has his herrod extractors fitted, and a custom exhaust, which is a little too loud, so his getting that sorted also.
