Nice work, well done.
Hope you set up the timing bang on if you are going to add those extra injectors there. Air box full of atomised fuel with a stray spark??? Balls of steel!!!!

like the look of this! Nice to see projects pushing the envelope.
was thinking this myself, remember reading about a guy with a ur quattro engine in a golf and he managed to blow up a 6mm thick aluminium plenumn with staged injectors in a similar setup. think he had nos tho and never set it up to stop when he hit the limiter. think he ended up putting some sort of pressure releif valve on it. mabee you could use some sort of bursting disc to avoid blowing up your lovely plenumn if per chance it was to backfire.Quote:

If anybody wants any work done by him let me know.
Once the independant is up and working properly, e is hopefully going to be selling kits.
I'm going to say yes i would love him to do some work for me, my mk1 astra van just winked at me. i need space framing in my life!
You have a mk1 astra van? Cooooool! as of when?
Afraid i dont have many pics. Will try and get some more next time im down at the unit.
On nights this week so hopefully going to get my new tie bars made. Mine are no redundant due to the car sitting so low they fowl on the gearbox :wtf:
As of the beginning of this year, it came up cheap so i brought it and have put it in to storage for a rainy day - once i have my own place its coming out and getting a good going over!
I like the sound of your plans wish i was closer so i could come say hello.
Oh sweet jesus!:eek: :eek: :eek:

I was looking at your pics last night Colin, but I couldn't quite see how far back it is ie as far as possible.
I'll get you a photo later, I don't think it would be possible to get the seat any further back (unless you want to cut out the rear seat pan).Quote:
