block pressure testing
I've stripped down my 4.6 rv8 for a clean and inspection, the liners look ok but i'd like the block pressure tested before re assembly ( just in case) so... does any one know / recommend anyone in the west midlands that could do this for me? thanks

Advice please for rv8 4.6 swap
Hi, I have bought a secondhand 4.6 that I intend to strip down and check over ( pressure test etc) which I intend to then put in my escort that currently has a 3.5. The car is a lt77 box, 3.5 with 390 holley which has possibly had work done to it before I bought it as it put out 201bhp at the flywhe...

Thanks for that, thats definatly food for though and very kind of you to offer advice. I will definatly try to install no2 on both my cars, and will try to build my own pretty much from scratch, as far as i can see the only real expense seems to be the solenoids or won pulsoids, the rest ( bottle va...

nitrous diy
I've been toying with the idea of n20 for some time, but basically can't afford the kit! ( about £500 won, to fit rv8 3.5, holley 390) i have read this site www.nitrous.info/ and it seems quite probable that it wouldn't be too hard to build your own system, have any of you guys tried this? and with ...

I have to say guys, i think the article was downbeat about the rv8 but then again the rv8 has a huge following and no damage has been done, my car was near enough the lowest performer (escort) and would loved a bit of bragging rights but i'm more than happy with just getting my car in a mag!.....thi...

what do you guys think to this idea?
I have a 9.75 cr sd1 v8 that is completely standard other than a 390 holley fitted with a 360 manifold, and a set of mgb block huggers which i know are restrictive but i had no space for anything else. My car was rolling roaded and featured in this months ppc at 145 bhp (grey escort). What sort of p...
