Nice hose set Paul, i didn't think there was a set for the LCR, are these THS?
I wonder how they match up with the forge ones color wise that is.

hose set from sfs, look near enough on the colour off the forge ones for me.

hi mate i went for pistons, rods, valve, valve springs, but also had head work done,

cost 4 k all in but should be good for 500 plus so in future can go bt

got my parts from usa off one of the sponsors off here.

need more updates on this paul gonna be really interesting with rsmith, with the same set up

who's mapping your's?

any idea when you'll be up & running?

wot you looking for bhp & torque wise? be realistic

 

[paul-murphys]

hi mate, gearbox had diff fitted so picking it up from stealth on saturday and with the engine rebuild waiting on a crank seal as one supplied dont fit :-( as soon as get that can be put back together,

wanting 330 bhp and 300 plus torque but will see what my mapper can do, got a company called r,t,e,c,h, doing the map its local and went and learn part of how maps are modified and made so i trust him,

on dates its running cant say as long as have engine back next week i cant see taking more then a few days to fit it with the gearbox,

then fill up fluids change fuel filter and emty fuel thats been in tank, also got to fit wmi and my wot box, got to drive it carefully as not mapped but will keep and eye on fuel air ratio while i run the engine in,

waiting on manifold from america so should be here in the next week i hope,

still got my bushes to fit, took wish bones off today so when i pick up bushes next week shouldnt take long to fit them, i changed front arb and steering bush so front part of car sorted,

just hope the post dont take long as fitting manifold needs to be done before i fit the engine,

All coming together now mate I'll get you some more pics Saturday. I'm hoping the head isn't on yet, I want a good look at it in bits!

Who's wiring in your wotbox? What do you think of the liquid too as in value for money and quality? Was almost tempted to order one today haha tempted by a WOTbox though!

 

[cupra-rich]

sounds all good

did you sort your problem with forge???

have you ordered uprated injector's yet?

 

[paul-murphys]

i havnt fitted liquid gauge yet to the car so cant see what the gauge can do but seems a good piece of kit, and thanks for the pics, i will be wiring the wot box as well as the meth kit shouldnt take to long, i got to drop my inlet manifold off to match it up to the head this week too

you should buy both if going to get a wot box email them and say i recomended you an see if can get free postage or something,

[Scott-o]

Awesome, cheers mate. Would appreciate the help. I'm excited for your car coming together, can't imagine how your feeling haha

I ordered these form IE and they were cheaper, there are supposed to be a straight swap, we will see!

440cc is plenty for the hybrid, Bill uses 440cc, not sure which type though.
