Thats amazing, the white one with the low mount tubular manifold?

There can only be a very small handfull of 600+hp BPs, surely?

As much flak as Nitrodann catches on this forum (most of which is deserved), you can't deny the guy does beautiful fab work.

Props sir...erm, I mean mate. Props mate!

I have still never seen a 816.8 at 28.5psi dyno sheet but only a 616.8 dyno sheet at 27.5psi. And I will call bullshit from the rooftops that he picked up 200hp at the same rpm by adding 1psi.

And I've met the owner. He's a nice guy but he knows "Jacques Merde" about his cars. He pays a shop to do whatever and call him when it's done. That's fine, but I'd rather give props to the guy that built it.

I assume that it involves one or both of these master-cylinder reservoirs:

Not quite to point of "fabrication" yet, but It's getting close.

Hey, I was looking at your post of the fabrication threads and I see where you created a custom dash cluster for a first gen s10 and the ebrake adapter for the disk brake swaps. Is there I way that I could buy one of each from you within the next few weeks? This is a very serious inquiry and I am really looking forward to hearing from you. On the dash cluster, I would like a different material from diamond plate.

Thanks in advance for your help and response

Here's something simple I made that may be useful round here.





I cut the original fuel rail mounts off and made these two brackets to allow me to use the smaller but cheaper WRX 420cc injectors. Got a full set for £20 rather than £100 for RX8 yellows and the brackets were just scrap aluminium. I'm still using the plastic isolators too.

Cheers
Stot
