car made 178bhp and 177lb/ft torque @19psi with the fuelling all over the place and only ran up to 5.8k to stop it probably going bang i have to stress this is nothing to do with automedics as i bought the carb off a member on here being assured that it was set up for 20psi and had a full rebuild etc am sorry but it just hasnt at all the jets were totally wrong eg main jet of 1mm air corrector is standard etc. overall though considering all that i think the car performed well and certainly will break 200bhp @ 20psi once fuelling is sorted.
so the plan is to sort the carb out totally strip it re jet it where required and re new any bits in it that we can. now i know you can get idle valves and mixture screws from cgb or ktec but where can i get an emulsion tube from??
obviously going to be fitting the aem wideband kit i have here so we can monitor things at all times and get the other 3 plasma gauges fitted. iv decided that my standard brakes are no longer going to cut it so want a 285mm brake upgrade fitting asap.
i cant stress enough how good the t28/t2.63 is that iv put on such a great power delivery and ill certainly be pushing it further than 20psi just to see its limits before changing the rear end to a .49 t25.
i think were also going to look into some serious headwork including big valves etc and water injection as my goal is to run around 25-26psi (i know people say dont bother with headwork but justin does my work for next to nothing tbh so why not haha)
engine spec now stands as follows
t28/t2.63
285 cam/vernier
pipercross viper induction kit mounted behind the grille
cosworth 2wd intercooler
bb tuning ported head
2.5" downpipe
enlarged turbo elbow
scorpion system
standard exhaust/inlet manifold
