Do you have a rev limit in mind for this build?
Volumetric efficiency isn’t really a problem any more for you with the big turbo , it’s just what the internals can take… |

I think my fuel quality played a part, apparently it loses octane with storage as well, so mixing 6-month old 99 with an equal proportion of 97 probably results in 97. I certainly don’t remember it ... |

It’s 8 degrees of base timing so add on the 26 degrees of centrifugal timing for 32 degrees. I still need to check that it’s actually 26 degrees, just following the manual for now.

The alternator should absolutely not be bolted to the crossmember!
Don’t use your alternator as an engine mount please.

Cool looking clutch. Was the one that held 330nm just the stock clutch? Then you upgraded to 500nm... so what's the rating on this one?
Pedal pressure is presumably just directly proportional to th ... |

I used 3mm thick mild steel and mine are holding ... |
