.....fit airconditioning, then drive the thing!

That looks wicked!

Question - whats the heater rail delete modification? I'm guessing its to get rid of the twin pipes that run down the outboard edge of the offside rocker box?

I too would like to get rid of these...

Yeh I’ve been through them but I’m not sure where the return from the matrix drops back in? Presumably the feed to the matrix exits from under the manifold, wedge style, and then I guess the return drops down the front of the engine some place and into the water pump inlet via another tube in the valley?

Having seen some of the photos you have posted on Facebook, the quality is mind blowing and it is great to see someone continually developing their car to an incredibly high standard.

Lots of very interesting upgrades there, in particular I will be very interested to see how you get on with the Rollercam.

I assume you are going fully sequential ignition if you are installing a cam sensor?

I am intrigued by the upgrade from the Motec M800, I thought that was one of the best ECUs out there?

Well done sir. I will be following this with interest.

Yes I went fully sequential injection a while ago, rob modified a gems cover for the cam sensor. However there wasn’t any advantage on the ignition side and you would have to go to coil on plug

The roller cam is the unknown as on this one the cam profiles have been tamed down for forced induction, it’s supossed a have a lumpy idle so we will see how that goes.

As for the motec well the switch from M800 to the latest M150 was for a number of things

1. It is VE based mapping , using accurate Injector calibration information
2. I wanted drive by wire , also gets rid of the idle control valve, the m150 does it without the need for a external box
3. It supports twin knock sensing
4. Whilst it won’t make any difference on a side by side horsepower v each ecu it’s using the latest software and the m800 isn’t been developed anymore.
5. The traction control is also better so I am lead to believe
