Wasn't willing to pay more than £4k though as I knew you could easily pick them up cheap enough!

They're made by Jenvey, so I'm guessing there made properly
I've gone for the 45mm bodies which are manufactured to work best with cars above 200bhp
From the Jenvey website wrote:

Choice of bore size is a balanced compromise resulting from the following;
1) A larger bore leads to lower flow resistance, but obeying the laws of diminishing returns.
2) A smaller bore leads to better throttle control and response (never underestimate) and improved fuel mixing.
3) The system should be considered in total - from (at least) trumpet flange to cylinder and proportioned accordingly.
Basic references for BHP per cylinder, assuming ca 120mm from butterfly to valve head and a max of 9,000 rpm are;
Up to 30 - 30mm, up to 33 - 32mm, up to 39 - 35mm, up to 46 - 38mm, up to 51 - 40mm, up to 56 - 42mm
Up to 65 - 45mm, up to 74 - 48mm, up to 80 - 50mm
In short 45mm bodies are perfect for 65bhp/cylinder = 260bhp. You don't think you might have gone too big with the 45mm bodies?

#101: Re: Jamie: GTi180 Author: Seb, Location: Under your bedPosted: Tue Feb 23, 2010 3:57 pm ---- I remember I tried to contact sandy about my engine when I was doing it, didn't ever reply
#102: Re: Jamie: GTi180 Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0Posted: Tue Feb 23, 2010 3:59 pm ---- Well, I've never met a dissatisfied customer, there isn't a bad word about him on any of the forums.
I guess you must have just been unlucky!
The guy is literally a legend
