thanks matey its in desperate need of a day of detailing on it now though oh that will be a poobaru with silly stickers all over it haha

massive thanks to roy for sending me his pre welded trigger wheel set up for the cost of a pint at the next classic car meet in other news i have now sold my old faithful workhorse escort van to ash (redoctober) as i now have a works van again so this means the 5 will be getting alot more i...

so iv now started to out a list together of parts im going to need to carry out the efi conversion here goes efi conversion kit from efi parts (ecu/loom etc) efi inlet/tb/fuel rail set up from michael tierney efi fuel pump either mk1 golf or cosworth efi fuel pressure regulator fuel swirl...

Thanks alot appreciate that mate. Just a note 280-300bhp is achievable when going efi

Alot of carb fed ones run a genuine 240-250 at a big push but you can get an efi one run the same at lower boost and also it would dance all over the carb one due to a much better low and mid range

Going for adaptronic 420d Not far off the limit tbh efi os defo the way forward. I could of always dropped an f7p or f7r in there and turbocharged that but I want to keep the original engine and give it a modern lease of life

big update as above i was really toying with the idea of going for the mappable aei unit from the french guys, but iv decided to go the whole hog and bin the carb and go for a full efi conversion iv already been in contact with scoff from efi-parts with regards to fitting/mapping and am...

haha cheers matey once you get these things to 180bhp they become a different animal, 200bhp is another step and then to 230+ is in a different league power to weight is a big factor and also how they put the power down, mine really does transfer as much of its power to the road as possible...

Well we got back from donington at 6pm and I can gladly report my car was fault free and performed brilliantly had some fun along the way. My backside dyno tells me its putting the same power out as before with 3psi less boost afr was 11.4 at wot so alls good.

Cheers matey it was my goal to make sure car was ready for this. Been looking forward to it since new year. Yes the new camera should be miles better than my phones 8mp one
