    Hi Oily, So if I order a VVC mk1 block mounted coil pack and corresponding mk1 VVC leads this should do it? Loom should be ok as we are making a custom loom to match up to the MS2 ECU. Are the plugs the same? Also, where on the block does the coil pack mount? Thanks for your help.

    I will shortly be fitting a VVC head to my 1800 EU3 car. I have the newer EU3 style cam cover, and it appears to be distributorless. I would like to use an earlier EU2 type cam cover (non-vvc). What if anything will I need to consider in terms of plug leads and coils with this setup? Many thanks P.

    Hi Oily, You'll have to excuse my ignorance but I'm hoping you can explain a few things for me as I am still learning a lot here. With regards to the VHPD, how did having hybrid alpha cause poor running over just an alpha setup, it doesn't make sense? I was under the impression it was down to cam timing and simply poor mapping, rather than the technology. Also, the Emerald has 32 speed sites adjustable to a resolution to 1 rpm which is great, but how does that solve the fuelling issue of load vs small throttle angles at low revs?

    The ECU is using Alpha N, what the hybrid mode does is uses MAP for pressures of 0 - 90 kpa, then above this threshold it switches to alpha N. The reason for this is lets say you are driving in traffic and move the throttle position from 4.7 to 6.2 percent for example. On the 16x16 map there's not enough resolution for the ecu to compensate the fueling requirement. Using MAP however the kpa may go from 45 to 90 which is almost doubling the requirement for fuel and the ECU can compensate for this. Above 90 kpa it then automatically switches to alpha N. We're only talking small differences, but I am hoping that this will make driving in traffic a little easier. Has anyone had any experience with this setup?

    Thanks for the responses everyone. I don't know anything about the std Caterham cars on RB's, but I've been talking to a friend of mine who has suggested I run the ECU in a hybrid alpha N setup. What this mean (I think) is that the ECU will use MAP at part throttle openings and then auto switch to TPS after a certain threshold. Do your RB's have holes tapped into them with tubes for the MAP signal, or are they running alpha N? P

    I'm at just about to place an order for a set of throttle bodies for my car, and I can either purchase the Titan RB's or a set of Jenvey DTH bodies. Both are about the same cost. I'm leaning towards the Titan's as they are fitted by Caterham but wanted to get some feedback from users of both. The general consensus is that the Jenvey's are better at part throttle, but I'd like your opinions? If anyone has the roller barrels, and is in the Kings Langley / Hemel area and is willing to take me out for a spin I'd be very grateful. Thanks P

    Great, 18 psi it is!

    Hi What tyre pressures should I try running on my 15" wheels with CR500's? Thanks
