Thinking of ringing them up to get some facts and figures on slight modifications and RR test first to find out whats what. J. Morgan was/is happy with their work so , has anyone else used this specialist - Nuneaton .

[jmorgan]

Still happy. 20,000 since the rebuild and still pulling like a train.

Linda has a job keeping me from his cabinet with the precious in.........yessssssssss, my preciousssss ssshiny bitsssss..... yesssssss.......

I had my engine bits done there not so long ago. Will report back in a few months when engine is run in. Did have a problem with the core plugs tho. Had to replace them myself which was a bit of a b***h. Oil leak now which I cannot find.

They seem to be on hols at present , will ring next week . Thinking along the lines of different/larger plenum chamber after RR test , see what ideas they have , and how much cash it will mount up to.Will study and print out what you had done Jeff , hopefully there aren't any nasty problems to solve before getting to increases in power, and also I want much more noise - do they do that as well eg 116db at 5500rpm .Yes I want it !!!

Mine was a complete rebuild with all the bells and whistles I could afford, not a few mods as such. Result of a poor build in a previous life that was about to turn to mush just after I bought it. Its a newer Range Rover block as well. New stage 3 heads, new cam and top end breathing sorted like wasting the valve guide back and anything else that can be done when it is in bits. Then later mods doable without a rebuild like a plenum insulator and a blaster coil. I removed the list of things I had done a while ago but easy enough if you want to see it again.

I think you need a good idea of what you are after when you speak to Dave and be prepared for some frank advice.

Thanks for the info Jeff , I think the RR test will show were the problems are if any eg low bhp or something more serious , then Dave will presumably explain different options and prices including how to get more noise ?

First thing I'd reccommend for yours chap is a short trumpet base about 200 quid from ACT made a big difference to mine, it will need re-mapping to suit the airflow characteristics tho' and you can either get a chip from Mark Adams ( about 400 quid) or go the whole hog with a replacement ECU.

For a really cheap mod just shorten your existing trumpets about 15-20mm, ideally still needs remapping though

Bear in mind once you start modifying its difficult to stop!

And if you intend to keep doing stuff to the engine then an aftermarket ECU will work out cheaper in the long run than to keep employing Mark ( loverly chap though he is)
