cheers guys will tell you how much it gives on RR.

thanks my mistake, i have the bigger one. is the caterham air filter good enough?

hi all i'm going to drop my 1.9 scholar/DVA engine in my car, and i would like to know if the std BS airbox (caterham air filter) will be good for it. i bought the airbox last year, but i don't know if it's the later type or not. engine specs are : 1.9 bore 1444 cams dva VHPD head big(gest?) valves dth jenveys r500 injectors powerspeed exhaust (decat) cheers for now antonio Edited by - tonino on 1 Oct 2012 19:47:16

hi there are ARP bolts a must have on a 1.9 sholar DVA engine? engine won't rev a lot (8000-8250 rpm) and has a std VHPD crankshaft. lightened flywheel by the way... cheers

will do so, thanks for the advice! antonio

bonjour a tous how tight should be a pace belt on a dry sump instalation? i fitted a 1 mm shim between block and pump bracket to give more tension but it looks to be a little bit too tight (20° flex on belt if you know what i mean) without shim, belt is a little bit too loose. (45°flex) and i am able to take the belt off without dismantling pump. what do you reckon guys? cheers antonio

@clousta : will double check, but pretty sure spa sensors are accurate! @sm25t : googd idea, but it would be a very tight fit on my instalation. is the air flow the main thing that prevents oil temp to rise? Edited by - tonino on 23 Aug 2012 18:31:08

bonjour, engine is a s3 with k series engine fitted with pace dry sump and brise tank located at front of the car. i have a SPA gauge with sensor in tank and oil temp never goes above 65° (when blatting at speed) and never above 55 on m way or normal drive. no oil cooler fitted of course, but i have a laminova (smaller one because of PRRT plumbing) anyone here fitted insulation or wrapping to the brise tank to help the temp to reach 80-85°? merci

i have B4 in a S3 and the are perfect. lowered floor on driver side, both fitted on tillett runners. IMHO, won't suit a + 185 cm driver. cheers antonio

just to hijack the thread i did the relay mod a few days ago, fitted a new std starter, but i still have the click from time to time (cold or hot, doesn't really matter) i have double checked battery, ground, loom, alternator but can't see why it is not working fine. starter goes well everytime i put a direct feed on it. any idea??

decided to drill my floor to fit my fire extinguisher. after the fist drill, i noticed a strange air leak sound. then i remebered my wheel were stocked under the car.... cr 500 were of course brand new...

i'm pretty sure i have a new alternator somewhere. let me know if you are interested. cheers
