Done, Dyno'd and new engine sorted.

Despite having an air filter salvaged from the bin and low compression on two cylinders as a result of a previous cam belt failure it made 184bhp on the best run of the day on RS Tunings Dyno Dynamics rolling road.

Can't fault that as it'll be well into the 190's with the new fresh engine and into the 200's with a decent inlet manifold setup on it!

I knew this engine wasn't going to be fantastic as when fitting the cams it was clear it'd had some valves replaced at some point in the past which always points to a belt failure. However with compression of 170/130/180/150 it did bloody well to make what it did. Paul spent quite a bit of time tweeking the map and got some very good results considering what he was working with!

A new very low mileage since build engine has been sourced and will be going in the car at some point in the next couple of months.

At the moment this engine is still pretty strong so I shall be thrashing the arse off it at BPG and Brands before replacing it. The cams work very, very well with power all the way past 7200RPM.

Stay tuned for part 2 :-)
