I snapped a stud getting the exhaust manifold on, so the car has since been garage bound. Just waiting for Peter to sort a head for me. In the mean time I have taken the cambelt off and drained the coolant system ready for the head to come off. Little bits and bobs. Basically all I have to do now is cam cover off, disconnect the TB lines and it's ready to come out.
Been to Fiat and got the parts I need, thermostat, head set, cam seal, the new style metal gasket from a later Punto and bolts. Nick (Schooweenick) at Glyn Hopkin, thank you!:worship:
And the postie delivered some goodies today which are Denso Iridium plugs and Magnecor KV85's
Also ready to go on is the Supersprint! Can't wait

Car back on the road now, yay! The power difference is great! The idle is a little lumpy due to the 290 degree cam, but the ECU is geting used to it and every time I use it, it's getting smoother throughout the rev range. It's going in for a remap to get the most out of it not this Sunday but next.
Also need to adjust the clutch cable as the biting point has shifted down a tad more and I can't get it into reverse without crunching!

Looks gorgeous, keep that manifold nice and clean and with a bit of luck it will stay like that!

BTW, needs a Strutbrace to finish the bay off A nice novitec chrome one would go well with your manifold

Brilliant idea! Just trying to find one that's hard! Couldn't even find one on the Novitec site.

Just got back from the Stilo mapping day at Chipped UK. OK, I don't have a Stilo but I got there before them and was with Peter
They did a fantastic job, car is smoother and revs free-er, but anyway, enough of the talking, heres the outcome:
As you can see, the injector runs out of puff, so the next thing to do is find a larger one/go MPI.
This is a pic of the induction kit in it's actual colour, my camera always used to make it out as baby blue lol.

Got the vid uploaded, should you wish to view. It's running stock 30mm TB, which just makes me even more surprised! Also dispelled rumour that the GSR bob restricts above 70.

meh? Nitrane's findings said that the bob the GSR uses it too restrictive above about 70bhp. Managed to forget the dimension of that opening now lol.
I was also referring to that power output being achieved with a 30mm standard throttle body, as opposed to Trickers 40mm, or a Punto 32mm one.

no worries lol, I had myself going there thinking I was going nuts!
I wanna see what she can do with the SPI, bigger injector and upped pressure. According to Peter the manifold will then be the next limiter. Thanks for the comments!

Thanks for the comments!Cool, if u cant find another decent single injector maybe try using two? Or you could even make a better plenum to accomodate another injector or even a multipoint injector of the likes of a Saab 9000 turbo?

However, John's engine is running a larger TB (99% sure its a Tricker 40mm jobbie) which may be the key difference.
What's the spec of the head Col?
Thats what i was tryin t get at

Hi, the head is a 55 one: ported, gas-flowed and skimmed.

Went to FIAT and my tank was recalled and done in 2004. No other outstanding recalls. Hurrumph.
I've added a vacuum and temp gauge in place of the heater vents now, haven't had the balls to swap wiper motor wires around yet for fear of blowing it and having to take everything out to get the motor out.
To make the dials blend in better I think it may be best to paint the silver surrounds black. I don't know too much about how to go about this, but I want it to dry to a nice satin sheen finish like present, but in black. Opinions?
Pics of the dials anyways
