Default my DIY reversed inlet manifold.

Massive ammounts of work have gone into this almost everything needs altering or custom fabb'ing,even the classic rad had to be moved 10mm to the nearside amonst a million other things
The car is a 2002 bugeye sti,with hawkeye full conversion.

Before


After.

The car was wr blue and is now/gonna be pure white 51E,the complete engine bay was stripped and painted.
Its a gt 35r matey did just over 500 bhp when mapped @ clinic,hoping to squeeze a few more next time its mapped.
Cheers bern.a serious amount of time and work has gone into this,its suprising just how much i have had to custom make and move bits around.

This is how the car used to look



Most the hard work was done by scoobyclinic and prev owner michael hill (timeattack),
i basically just tweaked a few bits and was not happy with the bugeye look.

numbers lol


The only pic i have at the mo of the bodywork,will get some more soon.

Dave prob 50% off the i/c pipes was from the original perrin set up,just cut/altered,i had to buy varius bends in both alloy and silicone,and also used some 68mm o/d s/s tube,its very time consuming but imo worth the end result if for neat and tidy'nes if nothing else ,to look at the pipe run length i have saved is absolutely massive ,although most wont be as brave as to go through both chassis legs with a 79mm hole saw .

Will see if there has been any gains soon as its mapped to compare graphs.

Hardy, nah I'm still on autronic. I will swap sometime but I have just had a new set of parts bought and the ecu is sort of bottom of my list. I fancy the syvecs so I can have loads of maps and probs a 30% meths mix

Apart from the ease of getting e85 from a garage you do realise that if you want the same performance as meths you will have to use double e85. So if you have a 10% mix meths you would need 20% e85 just to get the same results.

Ye i realise this but still god results from a pump fuel.sure i read paul from zen comment its bad on winter/cold start and also the massive fuel system + injectors needed to run the E85 neat that is,ill stick to 20% meths lol.
