Cheer's guy's, Drove to rochester to see wilson the same evening. It pulls really well and sounds healthy.

Stembo it is a cheap conversion. 270 for the donner. 100 for the mounts and 100 for the prop. oil plugs filter and plop it in.

179. so i'm impressed. only took ten min's before i was told tp pee off and have some fun.

Will be going msd after i have sorted coilovers, but that won't be till next year now. the engine really reacts well to a map. (much better than m20 winkeye )

also rebuilt sal's passanger seat today which was the last job on the list before the mot. so she should be back in the 2 tone with in a month.

Mine is doing the same, over fuelling like fook
Changed the afm too, blue temp switch and back on the co readings, high again.

If you don't mind, but how much was it all in, i might be looking to have it done too.

BTW, was it idling like a dog too??????

mine idels a bit lumpy, but thats the map as the values have been moved more to the mid and top end. I can't say how much i paid as it was a one off mates rates price. but it is the best bang for bux i have ever spent :) speed touches chips have all had good feed back and i know ants chips are good. so you shouldnt have to spend that much. msd will give the best results but 800 is a lot to come up with for a max of 20 hp extra.

loving the coil mounting bracket! :D
could you not use the empty washer bottle mounting stud with one of those plastic nuts to fix the bracket?

It is bolted in but I did not have long enough to move everything. It will be moved to a new point not the water bottle stud(strength not good), and the bracket for the induction will be renewed as I have used a cdl mounting bracket for the mo, Need to make a heat shield for it too.

I have seen a very small washer bottle on the demon tweaks site that will sit i there too.

More next monday :)

i seem to recall something about E34 washer bottles fitting there.
I've got a Vitara one on the old M20 AFM cracket and that fits quite well.
