Hi Mate , emerald is past norwich

http://www.emeraldm3d.com/

check their website for directions. Its a respected company and Dave walker has good knowledge of the k series engine. Mainly organising a rolling road to get bhp and torque figures before doing some mods. Foodwise i think its just tea/coffee and some sandwiches and snacks laid on. Mainly elise going at moment, if interested let me know soon as only 20 places max available

Blimey mate, that’s about 1/2 million miles away, maybe more, from the Madchester area . Maybe on a nice summers weekend I’ll get down there, bit far this time of year so I’ll give this one a miss but thanks for the posting and I’m sure you’ll get a good take up.

And it was shite weather too!

And… (pay attention)… I slept about 5 hours IN the car!

And… I’m 6’3"

I’m my new hero too!



BTW, your email doesn’t work…

I have sent Uldis my last VHPD power chart from Emerald, showing a little bit more power, but slightly more lumpy in the torque curve.

Perhaps he will attach it here as a comparison?

Needless to say, this was a Dave Andrews ported head and Dave Walker mapping…

Mike, mine looks very similar powerwise but with a better torque curve

What, you mean like mine?

Post it, man.

11

Yeh… come on… post up Bruno

12

nosy people…you lot
Uldis, no, I mean like Mike’s one, haven’t seen yours
Rox, haven’t the faintest idea how to post it here…

Mine and Mike’s are here, in my rebuild page at the very bottom.

You could put it in a Bookatrack page of yours or send it to me and I’ll post it together with ours.

14

all right then…gona mail it to ya
laters,

Ok, have uploaded Bruno’s chart in the link above.
Very interesting, although the power comes earlier, produces still 206 BHP, besides, it’s very linear.
What exhaust are you using? Throttle bodies?

16

cheers, mate , using original Tbs with Geary’s back box. next mod is going to be Jenvey’s with Bernards air box…
supposed to be very healthy for some more torque…
well, Steve has done it

Done over 2 years ago, sorry I can’t find the original Emerald printout so you’ll have to trust me on this. Steve Butts will verify though.

Very good

Vernier pulleys (pair)
VVC conversion kit
Uprated valve springs
Solid lifters
DTH throttle bodies (pair)
Auto-Teknix air box kit
1227 cams
Steel valve caps
Inlet valve guides
Valve stem seals
Gaskets etc
Arrow rods
VHPD crank
Forged pistons
Race bearings
New cylinder head bolts
VHPD liners
Steel oil pump gear
VVC cam cover

Total cost would have been �8338.60 if I had used all new parts, some were secondhand so it worked out to be nearer �7000. This includes an allowance of �300 labour for the build and �450 for the headwork.

Which is not bad at all.
The main difference then would be your airbox (amd of course, Jenveys)

Pity I can’t use a bigger box because i would lose the “boot”, remember, I don’t trailer my car and drive long distances.
Besides, the opening on the Elise seems to be slightly bigger than the Exige.
Will still play around and find a solution myself.
