T series will more or less go straight in, you will need the wiring loom from a 420, and An ECu, Then you will need to think about the radiator and intercooler but its not too much work, I think they will go straight on the PG1 box

I don't think so phate. The nos was set up properly i.e fuel and nitrous mix and was only set at 25-30 bhp as i got the guy to lower the power last time i had it rolling roaded.

I still think that the timing was out and that has damaged the piston in no4 cylinder and bent a couple of valves elswhere resulting with no compression but i'm no expert.

I thought the problem with the KV6 and tuning above 200bhp was the fuelling..........I am sure RSM have pointed to this before........have been told the only sure fire way of getting around the fuelling issues with a 'sorted' KV6 is a standalone ECU.

Might be worth a call to G or a chat with Ross even if you are going to get the car fixed elsewhere?

Best of luck on getting your car fixed though dude........having been there, done that and got the t shirt with The Red Devils engine I know how gutted you must feel.

only so much the std ecu will do, however nitrous shouldnt really make to much of a difference as it dosnt need loads more fuel obviously!!!.

but the way it failed sounds weird.. but i do remember Murray saying he was upping the nos due to not making the power and that rung alarm bells back then, even with a reduced shot it wasnt doing what it should imo.
