The lower end feels the same with the higher end being a lot harder, a real shove in the seat when the vanos comes on. Were planning to iron this out with mapping in the new year.

Live remap this time, the ECU has already had that treatment.
Very interesting..needs to save some pennies and clear out of bits me thinks... it needs rocker cover gasket so might as well do the vanos seals...and then whack on the larger inlet and BBTB at the same time whilst it’s all off.
But then I’m thinking why not do reprofiled cams at the same time and then have it all mapped...I mean if you going have a live mapping session and all that!
I’ve yet to price up cams but Shrick is mad money for a cam, US M3 a hassle to get. I would have thought places still grind cams like the old days..
A bit of a lumpy idle would be nice...reliable TVR sort of thing
I cant emphasise enough how much of a difference these mods have made and they're all affordable.Very interesting..needs to save some pennies and clear out of bits me thinks... it needs rocker cover gasket so might as well do the vanos seals...and then whack on the larger inlet and BBTB at the same time whilst it’s all off.

Haha yeah I removed the fan for nowNeed to come over and drive them side by side!
Did you fix the viscous fan, must be at least 15bhp to be had there..
See what your 3rd gear is like, this 2.8 now pulls over 100 in 3rd
Now that will be handy, it’s annoying to have to take 4th before I reach the end of the driveway, this will solve it. I love it when more power = Practical benefitsHaha yeah I removed the fan for now

Now I checked and mine hits the limiter at around 80 and it’s well into the redline. Do you have to draw extra lines beyond 7k or does the needle just stop?
The needle just keeps going, round to the 6pm position
Wish I was closer to the Zedshed as I'd love to learn from you guys. Your knowledge is amazing!

Be thankful you're not! get to close to the shed door and they start stripping your car down
I can cope with that as long as it gets put back together, I could do with a good inspection to give me an idea of what I need to do to itBe thankful you're not! get to close to the shed door and they start stripping your car down
It would be my pleasure to drive the 2 hours there to buy you guys bacon rolls for the chance to give my car a thorough inspection and to learn more about these cars. It's the first car I've had that makes me want to get stuck in and to learn to do things to it myself.
Nice weekend at the Zed Shed
Massive thanks to the guys for helping me out and for topping up my brake fluid (very embarrassed about that)

When fitting my induction you sent me @5harp3y your instructions didn’t say remove the passenger seat?? Did I miss a trick there?

So where had the brake fluid gone? Not got a leak on the clutch circuit have you?

Damn, I came on here to ask a question and now I'm drawing up a list of engine mods
Anyway the question was can anyone on here get EMP Stewart water pumps or are they not necessary - I removed the viscous fan about 8 months ago? And can you get metal pulleys too?
Cheers

Bled the rear brakes when I did my rear beam refurb and didn't top up enough
