As I have said at the start of my thread my husbands engine is going into my classic,but I have run into some problems.First of all which ECU? How do I run the AVCS heads,can I use my manifold or do I have to use the one that comes with my husbands engine.I emailed Carl Davey about the brackets to mate my inlet to AVCS heads,but bad news he does not make them anymore for that application,but I did not leave empty handed I ordered a set of his adapters so that I can run top feed injectors.So after that I was back on the phone again and thanks to (Alyn @ AS Performance)Who made me a prototype bracket I was back on course.Then my husband sourced me a Alcatek ecu but it needed modding and updating to the latest firmware and a add on board to run the AVCS heads,It was sent off to Andrew Leech of Alcatek who sorted it out and a very good job toohere are some pictures more to follow as and when things happen.JEN.



And this is it updated and moded for my car






Here is the brackets that Alyn made me





And my top feed fuel rail conversion from Carl Davey

I love the fact you and Adrian are both running build threads. Great read and can't wait to see this build come along, especially as you have a m plate classic like mine
Great read and keep up the good work

Adrian certainly plans everything out very well. I see your changing the turbo, was there something wrong with the one Adrian was running?
Also I noticed your body kit. Is the car a genuine Tommy kaira or is just a Tommy kaira kit that's been fitted? I don't really like body kits but I do like that front bumper

No its the same turbo Adrian just got it refreshed at Crturbos, the tommy kaira kit came on the car from japan so I am not sure but I have tommy kaira also in the engine bay so could be. JEN
