I imagine it is now going like a good B20A should. I have a carb jet conversion and new new needle to install but that will be it for now with regard to the engine. The engine is running lovely; starts first go, idles and revs lovely. I wanted to know what sort of top speed could be expected so I could gauge if my engine was performing as it should. I was smiling on the weekend.
Did a compression test yesterday and all 150 apart from cylinder 1 which was between 145 and 150, so fine. Car has only done just over 70000m so should be a good amount of life left in the engine. There's a group of Amazon owners visiting later this year so will see how their cars/engines compare.
Next main job is to install the new and upgraded suspension and then renew the steering.
