Just popped into RG today and saw Pascal's Swordfish Tusc. The engine is in the car, and the Rotrex has been fitted.
It won't be running until next week but I thought that I would just post a quick update, and stir up Pascal who must be really chomping at the bit! Not too long now mate.
The fitment looks good; it took me a few seconds to realise what I was looking at because it just looks like it should be there. There is no hint of after-thought about the installation which just looks very professional.
I'm not in the least bit jealous. Not at all.

Good BRITISH beer! Not your Belgian rubbish!
Erm, not about his stature. Just about the somewhat piss-take nature of the term Little Belgian friend. And no - I still wouldn't upset him.
And I would imagine that Pascal is delighted with what he has - as most people would be too.
Based on the RG designed engine, it has all the refinements and improvements that no other company seems to have had the courage or comittment to develop. It is a fabulous piece of work, looks great, sounds amazing - and will go like stink when it is run in and mapped.
Awesome piece of kit, and RG should be applauded. And the length of the lifecycle of the development is pretty good too.
AS for 4.5litres? Well done - slap on the back. Perhaps you should start a thread on it?

I see the mapping as the difficult part.He has some interesting S/C'd pieces of kit that he's getting nice figures from so I don't think it's BS.
Tee hee; he has a mad 400bhp Morris 1000 I rather like, and a more sensible 200bhp Morris Traveller that I'm thinking about stealing

Let it go, man.
If you have a good product it will sell itself. Neither RG nor Pascal could give a st about your 4.5ltr. It's not on their horizon
You're simply coming across as having self esteem issues, being worried about RG's developments. I for one would be concerned about doing business with you on the basis of these posts.
All IMHO.
When I was in sales, I was taught to never stoop so low as to knock a oompetitor or their products. It smacks of unprofessionalism. I think that RG's silence is laudable, and their refusal to get dragged into this sort of thing speaks volumes about how professional they are.
Again, all IMHO.

Oh c'mon, stop taking the bait!! 
chill
Actually, I am chilled. But re-reading this I can see how you might have thought I wasn't. I guess it's just a bit of harmless fun. As Dom says, "Barter", although I think he means banter, or badinage.chill
Any-hoo, in that vein.
Hey Dom, you must have damned turtle heads mate?
Bet you are cacking yourself. When Pascal posts those figures for his S/C FFF.... Whooeee. 
And so soon? Blimey, you're waaaay behind.
When will your S/C one be ready? Another 12 months? Man you'll have missed the boat.... Still, you can squeeze a few more ccs out of that design before you have to be creative. 4.3, 4.5, reckon you can get 4.7...
? Before it goes 
Just a bit of Barter

For sure FFF will make good numbers, but what a shame you have to go that avenue simply because you cant make normally asperated power....
Dunno what mine will make, but I'll post the figures when I get around to it. 6 or more weeks without being able to drive so probably not until some time in March/April I guess.Gassing Station | Speed Six Engine | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
