Nice info, cheers
I have one without the 'ribs' on the side, then I saw yours.
Need to check dimensions if it would fit my setup.

Will have a look around
Thanks again

It’s a generic QH one for a Vauxhall. Part number QTT166. Don’t have dimensions to hand, sorry. It had quite a large metal boss on one side which I had to remove.

Plenty on eBay of around that size.

Dazed and Confused....

I've been back to the rollers today, which mostly involved loads of hanging round. Definitely worth it though.

Before:



After:



Not huge gains in terms of numbers, but it's now mapped all the way to 7k rev's. The real change is in driveability. It's totally different to how it was, really revy from the second you are off the clutch. Torque comes in much sooner and much harder. Massive improvement! *happy*

And for those who don't believe it runs:

John has decided that he wants a drive, so will try and get a video of it on the road.

I've never been happy with the repainted back seat, so after 5 years of looking (from time to time...) I've got a new one, but not exactly the nicest to look at...



With a bit of help from John as I hate cleaning cars, it cleaned up nicely.



Much better. *smiley*

Very nice. How’s the car running?

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

Really well. Torque is all in by 3,500 revs so it pulls like a train. Still cuts out though...

Yep, the cutting out is more to do with the design I think, it’s proving a tricky one to sort, even with the advantages of EFI...
