Davey Dee, I'm getting the feeling you have also fallen victim to some shoddy engine work carried out by the the builder that we should all be "avoiding". Your car went there ages ago, Is it running well and producing the power and torque you expect and paid for???

It very soon will be mate.I am now extremely confident it will be spot on this time.I'm confident it has been faultlessly rebuilt & will be doing everything it should do.I cant wait.

I took it to Power who have been fantastic in dealing with me.Its all waiting to go back into the car.A big thank you to Powers Performance & also an apology to Dom for what you have had to put up with.

I will post more on a separate thread when the time comes.

Hi Davey it is really good to hear that you have light at the end of the tunnel, I hope you get many years of enjoyment from your Cerb.

You are in good hands with Dom, he rebuilt my Cerbera 4.0L over 2 years ago and it has been faultless, much smoother and quiet, no more of the mad ticking from the engine. He has also given me great advice and service since he did the rebuild for me.
Just a pity he is 330 miles away from me.

Well after all the excitement and although the engine is performing faultlessly it looks like the T 350 is going to find itself on the Classifieds, not until it completes a full power run with a printout to prove the figures. Watch this space.

Don, hopefully you'll have some very good figures to post..mine is due at Power Crazy the end of the month for final mapping too, I've pushed my spec a bit further with an ACT airbox and alternative exhaust system smile

Unfortunately the RR is not yet fully installed in its new enclosure therefore the power run has been delayed.

I hope all is well with you pal?

Thanks for your help and advice Joolz

The RR power run and fine tuning of the Omex map is included in the replacement engine deal so no further expense to me. Steve at Power Crazy is the guy that set up and installed the Omex so has the knowledge and experience to tweak the map slightly. It will be ready soon.

Just in time for my T350's new owner to enjoy the power and flexibility of the new engine which has performed faultlessy and so much smoother with the Omex ECU.

Now for the next project Chimaera here I come, good luck you Speed 6 boys I am heading back to the V8's.

Well done Don - they look like some fairly healthy numbers which is good news.

I drove mine back from Devon last week in preparation for a Le Mans trip, and the new engine, like yours, is running very smoothly on OMEX - too smooth in fact - I'm getting some overrun crackles dialled back into the map to retain the full TVR character!!.

We still have some final power runs to undertake to map the top-end but initial readings show a peak torque of 335 Ib/ft. I think I'm going to have to revert to your higher capacity exhaust configuration to achieve maximum BHP figures though - I understand that the 4.0 Speed Sixes had a larger bore exhaust so given the capacity increase, I think this will be necessary to see the best out of the engine.

Good luck with the Cerb. I had a look at yours when I picked mine up and the new owner should be well pleased.
