It will be easy to make up another set with suitable runner lengths. You would have gained throttle response but lost power over mist of rpm range with that itb setup.

Well you need either a plug and play ECU or a piggyback and get it mapped. If your completely standard and hitting fuel cut then there is something wrong though. You sure the car is 100% standard

I've got one here still in the engine. Rings went so engine was removed and left ever since

Could I recommend an ecumaster instead?

I used the calculator on the jenvey sight. You need 300mm from head to inlet side of throttle body. That will give you top 3rd of 7krpm. 350mm gives you mid to top end, 400 gives mid, 450 bottom to mid, 500 bottom. With the space in the bay you will probably end up 400 max. I went with 330mm but I did plan on fitting trumpets to bring that closer to 400. Never got round to it. 330 didn't bring the power band low enough for me so I'd definitely try to go as long as you can fit.

Take the intercooler piping off the throttle body and then start the car and let it idle. When it hunts up and diwn, place your finger over the hole on the bottom of the inside of the throttle body. If that stops it you need a new wax valve (bottom part that's bolted to your throttle body) If not, try unplugging your iacv which is at the other end of the inlet manifold. Unless you have a vac leak somewhere either one of those is your problem

I wouldn't bother fixing valve float as the pistons are heavy and use cast rings unlike the steel ones on an FTE. So going past where valve float occurs isn't the best idea anyway.

They run well on standard fuelling etc on standard ecu. Had my eu spec 4efe to 0.8 no problems. Might have been me you where talking to... If you plan on staying standard then 4efe turbo is much better. More torque, less lag, better fuel economy. Just cant take them to the fte limiter of 7200rpm as you will get valve float around 6900rpm. Not sure that affects you with an auto box?

as above. the fountain of knowledge only works if you listen to it.

5 speed lsd c56 from an ae111 20v levin. couple running them over here in southern ireland that i know of. Very nice box. Close ratio but still comfortable to cruise in 5th without revving its tits off.
