Hi Chris

My drawing was pre deciding to go EFI. Still going EFI now though. Thanks for the carb advice anyway.

Well i will still be running the twin turbo's. Here is a couple of pictures of a guy who i am in contact with. Colour not my tast but engine is. Ideally tho by running EFi etc i can go for a look that will hopefully look more like it was originally in the car. Going to change the red block to black ...

looks like a bloody good use of space to me. What sort of money are you looking at for adding a supercharger? im assuming you get the same compliaction seither way to a turbo setup??

Dave

Looks great any more pics of the supercharger etc as couldnt see i in pic?? What sort of HP is it running?

Chris Loosing the distributor would give me more space for pipework etc and its just another declutter and modernisation of the engine. What would i use in place. Im not up with EFI and electronic ignition. Dont think i have seen another rover v8 engine with twin turbo's and EFI. Is there any out th...

Hi guys. Interested in the cut down dizzy job. Take it then i would just run electonic ignition instead? Is it a case of just cutting the dizzy down and puttingthe shaft in or is there more to it? Regarding pulley i will be running the alternator bottom left so i can run the pulley fairly close to t...

that's looking really nice, saw an esprit on the m25 today they still look good, forgive my ignorance but is it the same model Lotus that Roger Moore had in for your eyes only? I take it your not gonna fit the same anti theft system!!!! Hi Yes the orangy coloured one which is an S3 car. The white o...

Okay si i have decided to stick with the cover i have to save to much compliaction. My thoughts on getting it all to fit are Take the standard crankshaft pully and cut it down to the end of the bolt that holds it in place. Weld a ring to the front which a slimmer pulley can bolt straight onto and bo...

Chris This is the cover i ahve on mine at present. Is it SD1. Whats my best option then and how would i make the change. IE what would i need etc. Bare in mind mine is an old 3.5 engine. I plan on running EFI so if i need to get rid of the dizzy as well im happy to do so. http://i813.photobucket.com...

Hi Chris

Any more pictures of the timing cover you are on about. I have the SD1 case fitted at the moment wich is 85mm wide i thought this was the slimmest cover? Anyone know where i can get one slimmer like that??

thanks

Decided i will ditch the carb route and have bought a complete EFI set up which will be reconditioned and added shortly. Well here is a few shots as the engine is in now. You can see space is an issue so blanking the water pmp and adding alectric one will be the next task. Also will need to shorten ...

Unfortunatelly if i fit the renault box it means changing suspension hubs etc a whole lot more work. I have been cleaning and painting the engine and its comming up nice. Should have the adapter plate back from the machine shop friday which means next week i can drop the engine in for the first time...

Okay so a little heads up on my project. Tha adapter plate is now finalised and at the machine shop, hope to have it back next week and then i can install the engine and transmission. http://i813.photobucket.com/albums/zz53/wayneb911/DSC01133.jpg http://i813.photobucket.com/albums/zz53/wayneb911/DSC...

Thanks i will give Mike a call. Be nice if there is a standard adaptor out there for the gearbox mating!! The water pump pictured will prob do it. So is it easy to modify myself. I take its not a case of just cutting it down?

No thats not my engine. It is in an S1 Esprit but the guy sold it. Trying to find out as much as i can from the old owner. So what sort of system is this at the front as i cannot find any information anywhere. Or has someone made this water pump? Distributor is not the probelm but space when it come...
