Finally got my new tanks fitted and re-plumbed everything to try and sort scavenge return issue.

If it all works I'll tidy it up then find a better air filter solution.

Thinking of a 'shaker scoop' like the old muscle cars used to have :)

Good to hear she's running again.

 

Does she not heat soak like a pig with those filters there? Could you not run a air feed from the front of the air box down the holes either side of the rad where the stock boost pipes run?

Yeah, air filter setup is crap, its only temporary. I have tried ducting but only had that convoluted stuff handy and that lost 100bhp!

Its not as bad as you might think, there's so much air flow around and the manifolds ate lagged. On an average day intake temp is about 35c.

Most likely ill put the panel filters back on top of the air box and put a scoop through the bonnet.

Well it looks like the new tanks have sorted out the scavenge return issue so I now have oil pressure all the way up to the limiter :)

Next thing to sort is the brakes as the pedal has gone a bit soft then new boots and new air scoop of some sort.

.....and a new video of it on the road....

 

Is the new high revving, high compression engine fitted now?

It was always the same engine, just had a lot of issues from the first builder :(

Its 12:1 static CR, have pulled the rev limit back to 8.5k for now as the valve gear was bouncing a bit at 9k
