Hmmm optional speed sensor sounds pretty good! Will have to look into that!

I'm going to fit an Led Chav light to it and put it on the dash somewhere so i can make sure that it is working! Also looking at fitting a timer to it or over ride so that I can keep it on after track abuse while the engine is off

I think Davies craig has made just the thing you need
Link to the gadget =]

Edit: You can hear it running when the ignition is turned on but once the engine is running its best to have a water temp guage to know if its still running

It will definately have a water temp gauge, probably incorporate the original housing Will check the link out when I'm not on the iphone or at work Thanks for that Although I think te route of a lightweight bike battery may have to go out the window!

When are you looking at having this finished joe?

[The Batman]

no idea, hopefully march time

[Sticky]

That looks in a remarkably similar state to mine at the moment. In fact my daughter asked if it was my car

[EASTYORKSVX]

[The Batman]

Off course but you will have to change your name Sticky, you have flintsrone power also then?!

I must stop removing the engine and gearbox from red cars

[The Batman]

You will be putting the new engine and box back in the same car but it won't be red

[Sticky]

Sticky, you have flintsrone power also then?!

It wouldn't surprise me if there were holes in the floor, most other things seem to have been badly installed at one time or another

[G-Bob]

Yeah, it won't be red anymore.... BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

As Daniel Merryweather said "They took something perfect, and painted it red!"

Shiny bits time!!

Comp blower cams:



Super tech 78lb dual valve springs:



Eagle rods



Gm racing valves



Wiseco low compression overbore pistons

[leevx2.2]

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm shiny

[The Batman]

everything shiny gets hidden

[Crazyfrog (Fab)]

everything shiny gets hidden

chinky chinkyoh well keep up the good work joe and soon you will see light in the end of the tunnel and appreciate the car again

[Exmantaa]

So you're fitting 8,9 compression Wiseco pistons together with a Saab B207 head gasket (which is thicker than the standard 2,2 gasket). That brings you to about 8,5:1 compression. A bit low for an SC, not? Especially with hotter cams that tend to lower dynamic compression... Time for a Harrop.

[Ben NA]

How much have you budgeted for this build Joe? If you don't mind me asking. Your car looks absolutely mint!

[The Batman]

indeed i have mr exmantaa, i will be wanting a harrop maybe treat myself for my birthday in may i got a charger with 2.8 pulley on it at the moment so should crank the boost up enough to compensate for a b207 gasket Ben, to be fair its gone over budget and remember pretty much labour free! i may py yselfith a harrop when its finished though
