ajp

[daz the plumber]

ive noticed alot of people talking about fitting a ajp engine in the chimaera or griff .is it a massive job is there any chassis work need to fit it .if i puchased a engine ecu and wiring could it be done with a small amount of knowledge.the origanal exhaust could be cut and played with to fit .i see so many cerbs smashed up for some reason ,ive been in a 4.2 ajp and it was scary a real animal like nothing i had been in .

you need to do a little chassis work, engine mounts are totally different, its not a simple plug and play scenario, the exhaust manifolds from a cerb wont fit when fitting into a chim or griff, the cerb manifolds run backwards, whereas with the narrower chassis in the griff/chim the manifolds have to run forwards then back, there are ways or running them backwards, but either method will require an indivual system being built from scratch.

anyway, why would you be interested, you pm`d me a while ago saying the ajp was rubbish and I should have gone the LS1 route??

but if you are serious about it, you should give Jools a call at track car solutions as he recently installed an ajp into a griffith, and is a well respected ajpv8 tuning man.

[The AJP Griff]

Darren,if your seriously thinking of an AJP install then give me another call
Be VERY careful about who you choose to do the install,assuming youre not doing it yourself?I had an AJP put in mine,and the work of the guy who did the install is so poor that we'll be backtracking completely to re-work all the bodges and substandard work that he did!
