Does anyone know where I can buy or borrow some in my area? I have the exhaust off awaiting the new engine so might as well give it a good clean up now R400 Duratec Build and Modification Pictures here

It's turbo charged, and he says it's a 2.0l then changes his mind R400 Duratec Build and Modification Pictures here

just called CC parts, they only do 2 fuel pumps and yes I'll need the R500 one at £70+VAT - currently out of stock but should be back in by end July R400 Duratec Build and Modification Pictures here
-
thanks for that, very interesting, so the question is how do I do the same to my S3 R400? I guess the biggest benefit comes from the wings but would they fit? Do they require different wingstays and are the wheels a different offset? R400 Duratec Build and Modification Pictures here

Ah it all becomes clear now Mick R400 Duratec Build and Modification Pictures here

Would be interested but i've got a 2.3l Duratec and Pace setup.... R400 Duratec Build and Modification Pictures here

Ah now I see from those pics that it has what looks like an air filter bonnet cut out on both sides, must be purely for cooling purposes. Funny is that a Raceline exhaust on there, looks identical to mine 😳 R400 Duratec Build and Modification Pictures here

DannyLT was talking to me the other day about getting Ammo (RaceCo) to do a rear exit exhaust for his 300bhp Duratec. R400 Duratec Build and Modification Pictures here

well if it's so easy can someone do it for me and just give me the answers R400 Duratec Build and Modification Pictures here

ah but I have the wide rear CR500s, don't know what rolling diameter they are, anyone? would also like to know the rolling diameter for 8" ACB10s? Phil from Road and Race is suggestion the following ratios in the replacement gearbox 2.39 1.54 1.21 1 0.87 R400 Duratec Build and Modification Pictures here
-
so we need a fuel rate which would drain a full tank (36 litres) in 25 minutes? ( without the overhead that Peter suggests) So for example if I were at full throttle in 5th (on an oval for example) doing 140mph I'd run out of petrol in 25 minutes and cover 58 miles at 12.7mpg - sounds a bit optimistic on the mpg to me 😬 R400 Duratec Build and Modification Pictures here

I've had what I think is an identical system to you guys for the last 3 years/4,500 miles and I only needed to bleed the clutch when I first built the car, so not something you should need access to on a regular basis... R400 Duratec Build and Modification Pictures here
-
Can anyone tell me what road speed each of the following gear ratios will give me? 7,500rpm 3.92 diff 13" CR500s (R500 size) gearbox ratios: 2.66 1.75 1.26 1.0 0.86 thanks in advance R400 Duratec Build and Modification Pictures here
-
and how many litres per hour does that equate to??? R400 Duratec Build and Modification Pictures here
-
ah ok thanks Brent - I meant to email you a bit of info I found out at brands a couple of weeks back, Dave Townley was there and he has a Cosworth SV and was running the larger/wider CSR wheels with CR500s and he tells me they fit just fine on the SV so that would seem an easy option for you, sadly they don't fit the S3 chassis/suspension....

Following from the previous similar thread does anyone know if an R400 fule pump (from a 2004 car) is sufficient for a 280bhp-ish 8 injector 2.3l duratec? Oh and having had a poke around the tank today where is the fuel pump??? 😳 R400 Duratec Build and Modification Pictures here Edited by - MikeE on 3 Jun 2007 22:14:00

I msn'd Danny on Wednesday (he was shown as online but 'away') and he didn't reply, so either he's away for the week or he's bored of me talking to him about supercharged duratecs R400 Duratec Build and Modification Pictures here

OK spoke to Steve @ SPC and he suggested the following for my 280bhp 2.3l Duratec revving to 7,500 - 8,000RPM and used 80% of the time on track: - SPC 5 Speed Clubman box - Semi Helical gears - Quaife Alloy casing What's the consensous, a good choice? Any more options I'd want? R400 Duratec Build and Modification Pictures here

Dave J What's the Quaife pro-box? Spoke to Len Unwin @ Quaife today about the new 5 speed synchro box rated to 375bhp but unfortunately the earliest this will be available is September - don't care how good it is I can't bare to be off the track that long 😬 R400 Duratec Build and Modification Pictures here

Brent I assumed you were going for the balls out 2.2l/9,000rpm/300bhp+ upgrade R400 Duratec Build and Modification Pictures here
-
sensor has worked loose and it now seems the cap heads as 8 pulses instead of the previous 4 so double the speed? R400 Duratec Build and Modification Pictures here

Can someone give me the number for SPC so I can see what they have available? R400 Duratec Build and Modification Pictures here
