Lots of in car video, crap sound due to no sound deadening in the Porsche,overpowering engine noise and every bang and rattle.

Very very impressive :yesnod: Any ideas on a rough price? I would imagine it's too late to offer my car as a test bed (plus that fact it's a VVC) but will keep following this one closely

About £900 +vat is what we are aiming for

me thinks you may need to increase the size of your inbox! 135 engine to more power and vastly more torque than a 160 engine for 900 quid?!

i can imagine a fair few ZR and ZS guys been interested in this as well chris

Yesterday Adam MGTF came to visit me to see how the war wounds are healing, and I took the opportunity to take him out for a little blast of top down motoring seeing he is confined to a tin top. It is the first time he has had a chance to pop over since the head, race cams and mappable ecu have been fitted to the Silver Lady. It was sunny and a good excuse. Well after about 10 miles of shall we call it spirited driving Adams smile stretched so far it met at the back of his neck, the yowl from the exhaust as I down shifted under a railway bridge seemed to please too. we also had a bit of fun with a Golf GTI which although trying very hard couldnt get away from us. On the way back I nailed the throttle and the new head and cams really started to strut their stuff. With 92 coming up in 4th gear at 6000 rpm with of course two gears left.Not going to quote power outputs yet, apart from its a hundred and a lot bhp, because I need to finish tweeking the map. Not bad for a humble Stepspeed!:yesnod:

First production batch of heads is due in the New Year

Metric after all 92 Kph is perfectly legal

Impressive results, could be the ideal upgrade on my LE500 when the warranty is up.

Have the chinese given up on their engine upgrade package?
