    that'll be fun to map! I was down to 1/100th's of a millisecond increments mapping the idle and low load of 2.5L engine last week using 440cc injectors, my 1800cc is twitchy with 500cc, a 1500cc will be very twitch with 850cc.

    its looking great though danny

    Weird, you would hope a mapper would know about sizing injectors

    There are other options other than the big slow reacting Bosch type injectors! You can get big flow Pico's which are much faster.

    Ive been working on the 5 for about 3 years,Im hoping to have it finished for the summer.To speed up fabrication Ive got a second 5 with a gordini head on it which is having the manifold,rad,intercooler and pipe run fabricated on. The guy who is mapping my car is Tweeny Rob who worked for Perfect Touch.

    very nice

    those injectors do sound very big for 1600cc, might idle a bit lumpy, all the cossie boys run seimens injectors, and some of them with autronic ecu to,
    seimens have a better flow, spray pattern and faster reactions over old bosch gear, and they are the same price to.

    better spray pattern, as in nice and wide for a 16V engine?

    Good to see it's still coming along mate

    TweenieRob is a good lad. Met him a few times when he was at P.T, and seemed to know his salts. One of my mates had his 32 Skyline worked on at the start of this year by him, and was chuffed to bits with the finished article, although he wasn't too impressed when the fuel hose nearly popped off at a Spa trackday...but that's another story

    850cc is surely gonna give a v low duty/be o.t.t for its application? I'm only running 780's (@ 3bar base fuel) in the heave ho, and that gives mid-high 70's duty (thus, still plenty of headroom), running mid 11's afr, on a maxed out E9gt blower.

    I'm sure he knows the bobby though.

    Look forward to seeing the car on the roads/track next year...hopefully!

    Been a while Dan. Have you got all the proper engine in now? It looks it. Might have to pop down when you're about and have a look at the car again. Not seen you since we picked up the manifold/exhaust.

    i didnt think peeps rated the gaz shocks surprised youve not went and got a set of ledas custom built for your project? i guess cost will have played a big part in what brand to go for ?

    ive been trying to decide what suspension to invest in and ive decided to just stick with what ive got and invest in a new set of konis as they seem to work well enough , i did get a set of custom ledas priced up last year and it was over grand easy , i was just not convinced by the gaz shocks and ive heard a few peeps slate them .

    where will you mount the remote dampers ?

    LEDA are no longer trading and Dave from LEDA now works for GAZ thats why they are nearly the same looking s the LEDA shocks. I am going to try and get some CNC machined billet brackets made and mount them to the tri bars of my cage going to the struts

    The gear box is a JB3 with a few mod's

    My 5 is also going to be road legal and I am also going to be drag racing it and may be a few track day's

    I see...why not JC5? I think that it is better (more durable atleast). I doubt that JB3 is "bolt-on"...

    JB3/JC5 both just bolt on. The strength difference between the two boxes isn't much more than the difference between a good and bad example of each.
