Today... I collected a selection of seals to fix my leaking transfer box and front diff, I also got the front tyres balanced (boy were they out...) and now the 110 runs smooth as silk.
I also had time to re-fit the mud flaps after removing them 4 years ago; [URL=] Click image to enlarge[/URL] [URL=] Click image to enlarge[/URL] [URL=] Click image to enlarge[/URL] [URL=] Click image to enlarge[/URL] [URL=] Click image to enlarge[/URL] Admin note: this post has had its images recovered from a money grabbing photo hosting site and reinstated  |

Spent a interesting 7 hours on the rolling road....

It was making just over 560nm - but this is too much really :roll This is still a standard engine - with only bolt on changes. I just need to get round to building a proper blue printed race spec 2.4 engine... but have something else to finish building beforehand.

The engines are strong things when tuned properly... This package ('IRB540 supersport') is really the limit for a standard engine, to go further than this will need a properly built blueprinted engine. In all honesty, this power does have the capability of damaging the rest of the powertrain, so it does need to be driven properly... And this much power and torque means you have to pay particular attention to the rest of the chassis - there is not point having power with control!. It is like anything else, the engine needs to be looked after - warmed up and down, serviced regualarly, fed good quality diesel and it will last... With this level of tune, you would have to understand you are pushing the limits of the engine.
