Yeah I know what you mean. On the basis of swaps, I might as well transplant another RWD engine/gearbox which would not be difficult as there is a massive amount of space in the engine bay (and I mean massive). That would only mean jigging about with engine mounts and prop shaft. This would...

Also, it just seems to be an enlarged version of what you'd see as a manifold for the water circulation in old central heating i.e. no desgin principles of gas flow, just a "manifold" for supporting an SU carb and hoping that the fuel mixture finds its way along the manifold ...bearing in mind...

Thanks for the further info. I've now read the thread posted by Xavier. Not sure what a 3 or 5 angle valve is (I could hazard a guess). Apart from doing the major work required (a,b,c in my list), the inlet manifold has to be the main "joke". I already took the head off in the summer, and...

Hey don't worry about the post, I read it as realistic. From a link that Loz put, the sensors can be bought and I can fit them. But yeah if I'm not going to get 30mpg then it's a no brainer .... stick a RWD diesel and gearbox in .... will be cheaper and simpler. Though I must admit, I...

Thanks for the links, and yes maybe I will start to put pics here. I am a member of the DLOC (Daimler and Lanchester Owners Club) but I thought (and have found) that there would be more useful info about my topic on this forum ...after I had discovered this "pre 1980" section. I have had the...

It weighs one and a half tons. It has cross ply tyres too. Obviously a diesel with gearbox from a RWD car would be more efficient, the problem is that these old engines are justincredicbly inefficient. I did strip the engine down and rebuild it 25 years ago, and I think it is time to do it...

Hopefully someone might be able to offer advice, or point me to another forum, I want to improve mpg, here goes ... I have a 1952 Daimler Consort. It has a 2.5 litre straight 6 petrol engine. The head is not a cross-flow i.e. the inlet and exhaust ports are on the same side, with push-rods up...

Citroen bought Maserati in 1968 for their engine expertise. Citroen had the DS at the time, and wanted a higher performance version. They decided on a new body shape, but the transmission and suspension is essentially the same as the DS. The SM was only made left-hand-drive, and won car of...

Hi Stephen, sounds same as my car. I found a tuning company local to me that said they could re-program the ECU for about £400. However, I have also found out that there is a company in the USA called Hondata http://www.hondata.com/ They sell several different types of ECU for Honda...

You're only in Shrewsbury, about 80 miles from me. Might send a PM in future an pop over. It's been very helpful here :bigsmile: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! b.t.w. there are some Dastek's on ebay now

I guess so, in which case could I just add a Dastek and use that for the remapping without adding a supercharger, to start off with. I appreciate that the supercharger will help give a lot more power, but my original question was "can a 2.4 iVTEC be remapped" and maybe the simple answer is...

If it has no outputs of its own and modifies most/all inputs to "fool" the installed ECU, I don't see how it could force the fuelling and ignition to be right with high-lift cams switched in and rev limit "adjusted" (another feature)

I'm puzzled how it does VVT adjustment, I'll contact them and find out

With that spec can it replace the manufacturer ECU ?

Crikey I just looked at their website and found this feature list: Variable valve timing adjustment Rev limit adjustment Boost limit & level adjustment Dual maps for use with different fuel grades & types Water Injection Nitrous oxide progressive injection Bigger/supplementary injector...
