Fuel saver
All from "electrical stabilisation" Stronger spark giving better burn in the combustion chamber.Sounds GREAT doesnt it.One guy got 3 mpg more he claimed,oh ffs please give me strength.Bet there are people dumb enough to buy one though.Im a firm believer in the fact that as already stated if it was that easy car makers would have fitted it by now.

Fuel saver
What a load of rubbish that looks.surely it doesnt really plug into a ciggy lighter like it looks ?? As my ole man always said "A fool and his money are soon parted".Its bad that tat like that is available and legal really :thumbdown: Id love to hear the spill on how it reduces fuel use :smartass:

Retro Stratus V6 or new V8?
I found a thema V8 on pistonheads.The car was a rotter but what a motor.I remember seeing one years ago in the 80.s.Rare old motor.With a cracking engine.A real street sleeper.I also have a soft spot for the strada 105tc and 130 Abarth.Typical Italian motors.Full of passion and flare but just would not stand the test of time.Either way you have to love them.Lambos,ferrari,s are all the same.This is why Merc and Porsche have done so well.Power with reliability.But imho just dont always have the soul of an Italian car.No more 037 pics my pants cant take it !!

Retro Stratus V6 or new V8?
A road going 037,thats rarer than rocking horse shit !! what a car .Any delta integrales on the same site you found that .Not in the same league but checked how many left for 131 fiats ,especially the miafiora 2.0 twin cam.I couldnt find any.I loved them back in the day.

Retro Stratus V6 or new V8?
Its not really a fair comparison.No v6 sounds as good as a v8.The v8 is a road car so has road exhausts,put a works system on it like the 70,s models had in the video and the poll result would be way different im sure :punk:

new arrival and suprises at the dyno
With stock injectors and the other mods youve done you,d be lucky to make 420hp,the engine would literally melt at 28psi and would never make that pressure anyway on hybrid tubs :whistling:.Either your being conservative on the engines mods or the dyno is in some serious need of calibrating.Im sorry but 505 fwhp on stock injectors and 28psi !! it just wont happen.Something is seriously a miss here! .Im running a much higher spec than that with custom mapping by John Dixon and making 475 fwhp,so how you can achieve that is just well let me say impossible.The gt525,s im running were max,d out at 18.5 psi and simply couldnt produce any more boost due to heat soak so how a t25/28 hybrid can do 28 psi is lets just say ludicrous.

Im glad you posted this Dave as your comments could be quite damaging to me when you THINK about it really as i was in the care of a customers car who may be a good friend but still the very mention of me "laying rubber" could put many people off using me for work on their cars.I like a joke ffs but that one didnt split my sidestrings i have to say and boiled my p*ss last night after it was posted .

Found the cause of my boost leak, now what is it?
Reconnect it,unless you are running a boost controller it needs to be plumbed in to for the ecu to engage safety boost to protect the engine.
-
Found the cause of my boost leak, now what is it?
Its one of the wastegate solenoid signal pipes,used by the ecu to reduce boost under safety conditions id say.Thats ther only small vac pipes around that vicinity.
