Sold the turbo and seeing what the C20XE can do!

Near Lincoln

think niks is actually an expensive race alternator iirc. something like a brise one.

Jims however is a charade one, something ill be looking for at the scrappy's soon.

Maestro side exit dizzy cap is also helpful to gain space, either that or mappable ignition *smiley*

Not very sunny swanage

depends which system you use.....

the cheapest, (and the one i'll be using) is megajolt, do a search on here for it, theres been a couple of threads. otherwise there are people running emerald and various others, but these are a good bit more expensive, ask dave or jim, they both run mappable ignition iirc.

And on the 7th day........... God created turbochargers!

it certainly does the business if you can afford it, ive started gathering bits for it, well ive just ordered a new laptop which is one component thats sort of required! lol!
Im going with a lower spec engine but using mappable ignition first. seems to bring about more reliable running.

I was hoping that I could get a small hitachi alternator and put it where most people put superchargers, then I could put my supercharger where the alternator goes and run the piping through an intercooler into a blow through carb.....

Haven't offered one up yet

Bugger off, I'm getting there.
