That took a long time to read!
Volvo 264 (anyone else??)
I've only just started and I'm after keeping or improving the mpg so...
Basic rebuild and balance
Emerald ECU (am I the only one not using megasquirt?) replacing fuel and ignition.
Custom inlet tract from twin plenums back. No point mentioning new injectors/seperate ig. coil etc. Coils salvaged from a VW polo I think.
Mpg has jumped from a best of 18(ish) to 32.4 and although the peak bhp has only jumped from 115 to 125 (book 155, ha ha ha) the delivery is much better and the curve much less peaky. I regard this as amazing
I need a direction now to improve the power (the aim is close to 200) whilst keeping or improving the mpg. As the 760 even fire PRV is rated at 180bhp(again hahaha) I wondered if that might be better.
Any ideas would be welcomed but before you say it the 3 litre multi valve renault apps are regarded as being v unreliable. If you know different then great.
My suspension improvements arn't catered for as I'm intersed in comfort. I've already spent £3500+ on a £600 car and I'd like to find active suspension as an aftermarket
