When you see those engine bay plaques on older Aston Martins that say 'Engine Built by Joe Bloggs - Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd' it now makes me wonder how dedicated they were...

i very much like this project. keep the updates coming

is it overfueling a bit with those injectors and no turbo?

I have megasquirt, so I have no problem with fuel

I changed required fuel constant from 20ms to 8.2ms and made some decent tuning of fuel map because new cam and is working superb

ah yes sorry i forgot you where running squirt,

so when is the ol turbo going on then?

I am collecting hardware now

headers - they not best, but best for the money

I changed from drums to discs at the rear axle yesterday.

We had a drag event this weekend. They have old time measuring device, but it´s comparable between cars who race there.

I had same time as 2 years before with 45 Solexes and 300° dBilas cam. Which is quite good if I say that it was with half consuption of fuel

I had same time as 318iS (lightened) and E9 3,0CSi.

M3 e30 was a second better same as racing 02 of my friend.

So I am happy with these results and we are going turbo very soon.

go go go man great job go for turbo respect

I've considered one of those manifolds in the past, let us know how you get on! I might bring one back in my suitcase when I go to the states later this year!

ure guna needd an extra case at this rate wizor

I finalized cablework yesterday.

I used a similar solution as you with the meccano strips securing the air filter etc. I'm going to use aluminium to box off that corner leaving a hole for the filter that will mean it's shielded from the rest of the engine bay. Looks like it could be a good solution for you also. Looks tidy though.

air filter placement is very temporary

it will be on the other side of engine bay soon because of turbo

first test of fitment
