[16v_russ]

Hi Guys, though id give you an update as iv not been onhere in a while.

Im now running itb's and I believe this to be a first, im running it completely on the standard management and sensors

I home built this, with a mate who helped no end, for years this said this cant be done, but it works, and works well


192 bhp on RS Tunings RR, big thanks to Paul who mapped it

Engine spec:

136,000 miles
48mm Jenvey DCOE throttle bodies - on a genuine jenvey manifold
Yozzasport cat back exhaust - catalyst still remains
Magnecor HT leads
ITG sausage filter


More developmenmt to come

Like it mate

Nice to see you on here mate! I was actually saying about this in another thread.

[16v_russ]

lol cheers matey, big thanks to you with this project!

Nice. Although 48 mm Jenveys seems me a bit large for a 2.0 engine.

[16v_russ]

See, iv been told they are fine, although 45's would see a little more torque, and a little less power

Popped to Pod today:

Full interior in
Half a tank of fuel
23 degree heat






Was happy with that, I think with more time id hit a 14.0 but ran out of time and it got really busy.


Time for a bit of strippage then hello 13's :D

[Wobba]

Aye, easy 13's with a load less weight. What tyres?

Nice build by the way. Well done with standard management and stuff :D

What have you done with the head? Standard cams? Any headwork?

[16v_russ]

Hey matey, sorry about the late reply


That was on road tyres, Goodyear F1's to be precise


Thanks for the kind words mate, the engine is internally standard, just the itb's and a Yozza cat back, even has the cat still in.

Though with 136k on im thinking about a possible refresh over the winter, but we shall see :D
