Tell you what......when we release the TB kits ( three stages) and Courtenay release the stage SC kits I'm happpy to get a magazine to do a head to head with all the cars and come up with a conclusion - good idea?

I'm sure Courtenay would be up for it and it would be a laugh thumbsup

I think a comparison would be great for all concerned. Both cars will be more than capable. When the TB's are released we can put the Stage 2's side by side straight away. Would be a good day out too!

thumbsup Excellent

Would be nice to have a dbilas turbo'd 2.2 as well thumbsup

We're still in testing on all the kits so will be a little while longer, obviously I cant really comfirm prices until we've fitted a few, but lets say it'd be daft to have these out there unless they were competitive in the market.

Hi John,

Will you be supplying this kit for self-install?

I'd imagine so, although the ECU will need mapping professionally.

Thats good news, i'll be intrested in just buying the kit thumbsup

Recently i've discovered that here in italy there is a speedy equipped with TBodies, running with an emerald ECU since 2 years (the tuner is a famous elise tuner)is developing 230CV derated from a maximum 245 achieved for better driveability on low end.

Interesting. The emerald kit looks very well developed. At 550 Sterling for the complete ECU kit it is not badly price either!

The million dollar question is "where did he got the manifold" ?

Fitting the TB's and the ECU should not be a big problem, but without a source for the manifold, it is ;)

these throttle bodies look well suited to a vx220

ebay

as the z22se already has the injectors in the head, could save some room :unsure:
