ziplobb Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 It is with some regret that I offer this for sale but I have recently moved house and have decided to part with my 7 in order to raise some dollar ! As such I will have various bits for sale including some 13" 8 spokes, tillett seats and then this. I bought this engine from Grubbster earlier in the year and shortly afterwards we found a buyer for our house that had been on the market for over 2 years so it noever went in the car & definitely wont now. I bought it from Steve because I knew the history and of course he is well known to the Wight7s. The following is a cut and paste from his original advert: Soon to be removed from my 2003 Roadsport as I am replacing with something a little hotter This X-Power 140 (EU3) engine has been in the car from new and covered 22,000 miles. It performs well, uses no oil, has always been properly warmed up before 'enthusiastic use' and has had frequent oil changes. It has had mainly road use but also a few trackdays where it has always performed brilliantly. In May 2007 (at 14500 miles) it was upgraded by DVA Power to the following spec: (photo's here) K04 upgrade - Jenvey DTH throttle bodies with 90mm composite trumpets, Piper fast road cams (633 grind), Emerald K3 ECU. Vernier cam pulleys. Bernard Scouse airbox. In September 2007 the engine was mapped by Dave Walker - 165 bhp @ 7000 rpm and 140 lbft @ 5600 rpm (plot here) I also created a map that got me through the MOT last October - as this is the K3 Emerald it can store 3 maps - you would need to purchase a suitable switch (very cheap) as I will be leaving mine on the dash. Or you can just load the map you want from a PC. The engine will come complete with clutch (10,000 miles use), starter, alternator, air filter, apollo tank etc basically everything needed to just drop it in and go with the exception of the oil pressure sensor as I converted to a mechanical gauge a long time ago. I would like £2250 and the engine is here on the Isle of Wight - serious enquires in the first instance by email thanks Jai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Wilcx Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Is this 1600 or 1800cc and what pistons are inside (forged or standard). Also can you confirm if the Jenvey's are included...its not clear from the advert. Winter '08 Upgrade was a screaming DVA K05. Winter '09 Upgrade was a Radical Winter '10 Upgrade - still thinking - but sure it will be fast www.geoffwilcoxphotography.co.uk Edited by - Geoff Wilcx on 8 Sep 2010 22:33:24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grubbster Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 On behalf of Jai as I doubt he is on here as often as me - 1800, standard pistons, jenveys included (and emerald K3, airbox, verniers, apollo) Solent Se7ens Web! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Wilcx Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Thanks for quick response - I'll give it some thought over the coming days. '08 Upgrade was a screaming DVA K05. '09 Upgrade was a Radical '10 Upgrade was even more Radical www.geoffwilcoxphotography.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
