It was running in! LOL
Thats awesome news Chris, I knew something was amiss.
Either have the std throttle body enlarged (Ive got a contact) about ?150 or the official Irmscher one for the E16 engine is available still from GM. It does however have the same part no as one from a mk1 Carlton 2.4. So look out for 2 of those (one for me).
Ive seen 2.0 8v throttles fitted, but people complain about jerkiness, the breather pipes are different too & I'm sure the bolts dont line up so you need an adaptor plate etc. Your mate Sevs could enlarge your std one I bet?
nice car mate .
heres the print out from yesterday. i've been out in it today again and im going to end up killing myself in it LOL!!!!!!
This read out is 157bhp at the wheels!!!!!!!

Whats the torque output?
I'll scan mine in when I get a chance.
Bargain dude :) Bet your well pleased!
Have t back to Pod now and try again, and i got some special tyres which i might let you borrow aswell ;)
Just looking at the printout, peak power at 6008rpm is good going IMO. Mine was lower than that & I dont think a 2.0 LET peaks as high as that, typically.
Cant find my printout, Ive got 2 copies but I think one is with my GSi glovebox..... (shed).
if my 1.6t puts out 157 il be delighted fair play lad id say its a animal to go lol
Right then havent updated this for a while. Car has been running mint with no problems until last week when it started smoking one day so did a compression test and number 4 was low so stripped engine that day to find a hot spot on the bore and piston which was letting the oil past. So ive done a rebuild with a different piston new rings, new mains, head skimmed, new head bolts. did all this in about 3 days because i need the car for work. so i had to run the engine in again so did this in 2 nights on the M6 and it was booked in at high tech again for a tune. Night before the rolling road i got this toy-

So fitted this about midnight and changed the oil. then off to rolling road in the morning.
