Hello BlackSix,
were you able to get the video up on Youtube?
Unfortunately, I do not have the video yet. It is supposed to be shipped with the engine.

I admire your un-breakable patience. Have the causes of current delays been explained to you? and what is the new ETA for shipping?

You cant send an engine by email (maybe with 3d printing it might be possible at some point) but they could always email you the video :-)

4.8 ajps are rare for a reason.
Is there a running one?
Yes Graham Chambers has one as built by Russ of Raceproved. As far as I know its running...
It's running extremely well Gary and now with 4.5 induction.... But still not fully mapped as I've been busy with other projects

Another month has gone by, do you have your video or engine yet, I would be really interested to see how this turns out once installed in your car?

Haha sorry about that. Couldn't help myself....
Don't worry because I'm sure the actual video of this engine will be along any time now...!

That is just cruel.

I struggle to understand why anyone uses RND now.

Highest BHP from a non-FI S6 engine, using RND parts as bits of the build. Have a look in the modified S6 Wiki.

There's no mention of rnd bits in the wiki for the gacksen engine .. presumably it's a tvr power 4.3 with rnd cams? or did rnd supply more than that ? I guess law of averages says at least one person falls lucky. rnd's previous 3.6 with all the bits struggled to better std power at 364 (the title of this very thread).

Wiki says: "camshafts chilled iron RND ENG custom profile done by Kent cams, camshaft timing set to RND ENG specification, RND ENG GT Valve springs, RND ENG Redesigned Billet Finger Followers 360 degree oiling, "
ignoring rr variences that's very similar to the Varley car (Varley has a bit less power but a bit more torque) but the same when you consider tuning and margins of error.
