JE 5.2 Engine tuning where to go

[Bastian]

After being out of the TVR scene for a while after a lengthy 2 year RHD to LHD conversion at a not so reliable TVR bodyshop in Northampshire my Griff is finally drivable again. I'm very happy with this result but the car needs a lot of work done to finish the project.

I would like to have the Mark Adams fuel mapping and the Unilite distributor/ ACT plenum checked out to get all the Engine power back + some repairs to some electric systems in the car. Which garage would be a good garage to visit to have this done at an affordable price.

For info I'm also considering fitting the SC power sup kit but not sure if this will fit in the engine bay after the conversion. The other option I looked at was the JE ported throttle body but not sure which system gives best drivability/ power.
It would be nice to have this checked out at the same garage. I can bring the car over in May for info.

Thanks a lot.

One of my Ginetta Colleagues of mine has had some RV8 chipping work done by these guys and speaks very highly of them:

Supercharger will give you the best power/drivability by a long, long way. But you will almost certainly need to bin the ECU and distributor and replace with something a like an Emerald or Omex to control it properly. You'll need to speak to the boys at SC power though to check it will work, as they will not work with all engines - hot cams or high compression will not work with a charger - I believe they've done LHD kits before though so that shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks for the info, I've been in contact with Mark and TVR power. It will be on the rolling road in May, hopefully that + some finetuning of the mean machine will sort the engine out. The SC kit they will look at when it is in the shop so looking forward to that visit.
Thanks & Regards Bas
