Hi, still collecting parts, just bought another mig welder, for my V6 into an MX5 job, But do I have to keep the dual ram thing just behind the rad? Or will it be ok without? I have seen someone replace it with an aftermarket one???
Ideally I want to loose it but dont want to loose low down power..

If using same ecu, the solenoids need to remain. The multiram purpose is to flatten torque curve, so depends on your requirements :)
-
You can use a Cavalier/Calibra V6 ECU & loom - that works fine but has no multiram - so you dispense with the solenoids mentioned :y :y

This is a westfield with the plenum removed and a few other bits added :D

A friend of mine keeps threatening to break his old 3.2 and put the engine in something like a Westfield .. I think I'll send him that; he'll be out in the garage with a set of spanners within an hour I reckon ;D

I've seen that Westfield in the flesh and it is very nice indeed.
In fact, that picture on the front page of their web site... I think me and my Westfield are lurking in the background somewhere... ;D

I've been that busy that in the last 18 months or so, I've managed to make some engine mounts, fit the front suspension and errr... thats it. :'(

Theres a few pics on my website (above), and a little test video of the engine running (sat on a plank of wood in the frame, with me holding it! ;D). That was the last time that engine ran too :-[ Really must get on with it.

Hi
Very impressive build. Its good to see that you have done away with the horrible sliding pillar front suspension of the original kit.

OK, thanks for the relevant replies, lol. And sorry for the double posting I couldnt find the first so thought something had gone wrong...
-
to me a similar problem, but to me more space forward. unite shorter distance of the pipes going to enter Y
Only low space the flow meters, but I think add 2x flow metter and MS2
MartinP>>
how you intend to solve the conduct of the exhaust manifold. Home Made? the length, diameter of the pipes are going to use?

I'm planning on using a 3.0l in my Standard Flying 12 hotrod project. Well, I will when I clear the backlog of existing jobs, somettime next year.

you need to retain the dual-ram capability or power will be down markedly. ( think 35 BHP down )
the specs that you can choose are as follows :-
2.5 Calibra/Cavalier. No dual ram, but only 170 BHP
2.5 Vectra Dual ram of a different type and 170 BHP
2.5 Vectra GSi - uses 3.0 cams and a special ECU to make 200 BHP, but still uses dual ram
3.0 Omega dual ram only and 210 BHP
sorry

found-if change stock x30xe ecu, you got 260 hp ~310 nm , only ecu, if do mods? exhaust maifolt, intake porting..

Exhaust is being made by John Ahsley exhausts, Walsall.
3 16" primaries, over the top chassis rail, angled down to a collector with a lamba boss, curved pipe with a flexible coupling into a CAT/silencer box with 2 support brackets.
Primaries will be ceramic coated to reduce the heat.
