I moved the injectors back to the original position pointing at the valves. Runs massively better than when they were upstream in the bodies.
Needed a custom Jenvey fuel rail for this...does exactly the same job as the Peugeot rail!

Top-drawer Edward no doubt!

It's not surprising how bad the backing shields get, given the amount of crap they have to put up with.
I've never stripped the back wheels down far enough, and it didn't look like the shields were replaceable, for some reason! Always wondered what the next move would be!
Now I know...  |

The attention to detail of Ecosse continue to haunt this car even ten years later.
I paid them best part of £50 to port match the inlet to the cylinder head. They weren't actually going to do this until I checked whether they'd be doing it as part of the installation - you'd expect this to be done when spending £4k on the job!
They did nothing about checking whether the bodies that they supplied matched the inlet though! All 4 inlets have the same sort of problem!

I should update this.
Finally got the car remapped recently. It spent 5 hours on the rolling road no doubt getting rather hot. It did sound rather nice even from behind triple glazed glass..
What was supposed to be a few hours of minor adjustments ended up being a complete fresh start as the original mapping had a few corners cut!
It made 204 BHP.

Car feels fine to drive. It's never going to be as flexible as a turbo engine but for a quick blast it's a fun little car.
It will be SORNed soon and the cam belt will be changed and I want a v band joint fitting to the exhaust to replace the leaky sleeved joint.
Does anybody know if Peugeot sell replacement clutch hoses still?

This year is cambelt change time! I noticed a little bit of extra movement in the engine mounts when stripping everything down. A bit odd and this turned out to be a cracked mount - this possibly happened when the gearbox went bang a few years ago.
Mount removed from the car.
All welded up and reattached to the car and fresh paint applied.
While the engine was out I also got the coolant pipe powder coated.
New exhaust manifold studs and nuts. Manifold was polished a bit too and more heat proof paint applied to the flange.
The alternator bracket and PAS pump bracket have also been powder coated too.
Next job is to change the water pump and cambelt then the engine can go back in the car.

All back together now. I even went against my own advice and fitted a 22mm front ARB from a GTi 180. I had it powder coated in a light grey too so looks better than new. It does give a bit more feel at the front end. That 1mm does add a fair chunk of stiffness.

Logged on after 10 years and to still find this thread going is as reassuring as day and night. Good man Edward.

Good to see progress is still being done on this Gti.
Should be worthy of a spot in the Haynes Motor Museum if it is ever finished.
