Re: REV 1 GT - @ Back Home
Hi All,
That's the short block all completed and sealed up - Next week the head will be checked over and fitted. Once in the bay the oil filter will be relocated to the bulk head to reduce heat from the down pipe & screamer pipe.
Things to get ordered this weekend:
Syvecs command switch
Syvecs clutch switch
Might also buy the Syvecs fuel flex unit
Cheers Craig

Re: REV 1 GT - @ Back Home
I know they're a bit pricey, but have you looked at the Syvecs Toucan?

Still in the garage...
..the only thing I can promise for sure is slow progress.

just have this niggling thought that if I rip out the wiring, then the car will never get out of the garage again.

Ashley,
At the minute I have a set of SARD 850cc injectors but not sure if I might go 1000cc yet??

Sorry
I was going to get one, but decided to take an alternative route, mainly due to features per £.

Re: REV 1 GT - @ Back Home
If you're planning on running high power on E85 you may want to rethink that, from the little I know E85 requires significantly higher fuel volumes to be injected...some research required
Re: REV 1 GT - @ Back Home
Engine is looking good. I've having my block painted in the same colour/paint.

Re: REV 1 GT - @ Back Home
Hi All,
Cant believe its been over 15 Weeks since my last update.....
Time is just flying by and the car has been off the road now for 16 Months.
Last spoke with Peter on March 26th and the aim was to her back up and running end of April so fingers crossed we shouldn't have much longer to go.
Got a few events planned for May and a popular car mag wants to do a feature so really eager to get her back to have the body work all tidied up rear diffuser to custom fit along with Daie MS front lip...
Cheers Craig....
