    I was talking to I assume your Mrs, I think she was venting all her anger at my company. Just glad we have resolved the problem where both parties are happy. Regards Ricky

    A Diesel with 5.4hp and weighs 400kg's! How does it move. (apart from slowly) Thats just a danger to have on the roads.

    I keep saying we will stock all the parts we fabricate. We started, typical if you have something on the shelf nobody orders it, or they want something different.
  4. Ricky@Race-Tech
    Great buy, that could be the ticket to over 350hp

    I don't think spending money on an intake manifold is throwing money away. Lewis' intake manifold was indeed sent somewhere by mistake, but we got it back as soon as possible and resent it, I cannot control things with couriers sadly that's out of my hands. The intake has been finished for a long time, the problem was the supply of the fuel lab regulator, we don't stock them as to be honest, the standard reg and fuel rail setup is fine for most cars and we don't sell that many. We buy them from the official importer and they were out of stock. So at our expensive we imported some from the US

    We can do them, but only weld in at the moment.

    Our "bigger turbo kits" will spool as good/better than a TD04 and make more power than a TD05. I'd strongly recommend to save and buy something decent. Remember things like the manifold and downpipe design will play a part in spool and max power. I don't think any manifold on the market other than ours even has a "true" merge collector.

    Dasteks tend to read a little high, but dyno's are tuning tools, so long as you use the same one to compare your ok. Regards Ricky

    Handling wouldn't be bad at all if done right. Ride is actually about as good as it gets, Air is much more complaint than springs, Range Rovers, Porsche Cayennes etc all have air suspension. The Ferrari Enzo does also IIRC, although that might just be to lift the nose for bumps.

    Thats all well and good but... I wouldn't put a head on that engine with the block surface as it is. You haven't measured the bearings Did you measure the bores? Did you do the ring gaps? Did you measure the crank for round? Did you torque the bolts or measure stretch? Etc etc. Engine assembly is what your doing there, and yes, my 3 year old could do it. Engine building is all about measuring, tolerances/cleaning etc, this is what takes up the time. We could charge 2 hours labor to assemble an engine. We rebuild more forged engines because they have failed than we rebuild standard ones

    We have extensively monitored crank case pressure on the dyno. I'd strongly advise you run one, it depends on the engine, the clearances, the power etc etc. Something not many people know is breather setups gain HP, and more than you might think. The cross sectional area of the bottom of a 4efte piston is approx 43cm^2. x 4 this is 172cm^2. Lets say you had a huge breather issue and the car had 1 bar crank case pressure. Thats 172kg's of force acting against the pistons every single rotation of the engine. At 6000rpm's thats 100 x per second. So even 0.01 bar would result in 172kg's per sec

    You seem to be playing a guilt trip so people give "donations" what you should do is charge people to use the service. Other sites do this. You want to earn money from it which is fine. You earn from traders and you want to earn from members. The problem is not many would pay as the site breaks every couple of weeks.

    Why don't you/didn't you take Matt/Socks up on his offer of free hosting? Surely that'd sort all these problems with you not being able to afford to pay the bill?

    Snap on ones are over 600nm and not as expensive as those. I've got the Dewalt 3/8th's, and the Snap on. I reckon my air powered 3/8th's air gun is half the size of the Snap on but more powerful. The Snap on 1/2" is 1800nm torque and that still struggles on some things.

    Speculate to accumulate!

    We might run a group buy on td04 manifolds later in the year.

    They would only cross at that point if the scaling on both sides was even. Common mistake people make.
  18. Ricky@Race-Tech
    We do these fittings, (cheaper than ebay) we also can make them to length should you require. There is a "knack" to it.

    I cannot believe the strapping on that Evo, I can believe the old man stepping on the rollers. You forget, and one day i'll end up doing that while rushing around like an idiot.

    They are ok, but I'd take an AVCR over one any day of the week.

    We do many levels of porting. Get in touch for a price if your interested.

    If your painting in an enclosed space what are you going to do about ventilation?
  23. Ricky@Race-Tech
    Does it smell of burnt fuel or neat fuel?

    It looked faaar too dark in the picture to be a billet wheel. (you know the grey/cast kind of look) I can see it on the post though. Actually looks like a Precision turbo's wheel in its geometry? Could be wrong.

    Thats not good to hear! PM me and return it and we'll sort it out. However it must be said. If your running a td04 without the car been mapped the EGT's will be WAAY too high. Your lucky its just the manifold I guess. Our newer manifolds are actually much stronger anyway, but still, I'd strongly advise against running them on a stock ECU/Jam etc, simply because it gets them too hot. We've seen cracked manifolds/turbos etc from pretty much most of the manufacturers from people doing this. This actually happens fairly often, However it should only be the following day. We'r pretty friendly w
