Glad you're interested matey.
If i had the time/resources etc then i would dyno the car one mod at a time to see how it does.
I will pop it on the rolling road after fitting the 4-2-1 manifold to see where were at before fitting the head cams and inlet |
Be interesting to see what it makes but more importantly how different you find it is to drive I imagine itl feel very eager to rev

With it being a daily motor for the wife the plan is to retain the original characteristics of the engine hence my choice of cams etc. Just want a bit more of it in the same areas. I honestly think everytime i drive the car my god peugeot didnt half strangle this engine

Where are the part markings on the cams? Could you post them up please. Just so that I know where to look for them on my cams. Great thread by the way. How much did you pay for flywheel

finally getting around to fitting the 4-2-1 manifold uprated engine/gearbox mounts and billet flywheel on monday, looking forward to getting it done as this will be the first steps in releasing some of the potential of the engine, also will finally have rid of that bloody annoying rattle from the oe manifold

Is the Supersprint Manifold you have a straight fit or does it need any kind of customization?
Also the Supersprint Manifolds seem much more expensive than your typical copy one off ebay. Are they much different? Im assuming the supersprint one is made of thicker guage steel and better quality?
Im curious as ive been looking at a 4-2-1 manifold for my GTI

im pretty sure its a straight fit just a bit of welding required possibly. i will let you know for sure after monday.
yes they are much more expensive than the ebay ones etc, the quality of them is spot on and i know they spend alot of time extensively testing all of there systems for optimum performance etc
if i was you id get one of the ebay ones as i know macj runs one of them on his rally car with no bother at all

Cheers, think that might be my next purchase. Th clutch release bearing has gone on mine and cambelt is sue so this month it will be those getting replaced. Im putting a stage 1 clutch on in anticipation of some mods and so i dont have to mess around again later on.

if your doing the cambelt then get the full kit with tensioners etc and also worth doing water pump at same time.
i will be running the oe clutch how long it will last i dont know as through the sketchy paperwork i have for the car there is nothing in there saying the car has had a new clutch but that doesnt mean it has not been done, i did a shed load of work on my old 5gtt which obviously didnt show up on the paperwork.
