Yep, no doubt the reason Sprintex went with a 7th injector and controller, if you'd added the cost of standalone management and mapping to the original purchase cost they'd never have sold any of them

Was there someone on here that could get forged items?

Assuming the Omega pistons are re-usable, what else am I going to need for a proper rebuild?

£2500 gonna cover it?

For what that car was advertised at, i cant believe it wasnt standalone management.

I've the best kv6 builder around in my armoury. Builder of the well known Andrew Morrison KV6 ZR.

In all honesty, i dont know if £2500 would cover it and I'd be tempted to sack the supercharged KV6 and go down another route.

Turbo'd KV6
Supercharging is the easy way out.

And a bigger engine bay haha!
Mmmmm, twincharged kv6
If I came into a bit of money somehow I'd give it a blast.
Get some people in the know to do it though.
Hopefully help a little though haha!

I think you've got a good base, the internals are already started.

There's a guy selling an emerald for £600 I think on .org
Maybe that's a start there?

you dont need anything other than forged pistons. Then go down the DTA S80 and bigger injectors. £2.5k would more than cover that.

the bottom end going was random, I wonder if when you had the front ender it did just touch and stop the cam pulley briefly ? I would imagine it must be something to do with the accident

The beauty with DTA at least is it has a great resale value, compared to any other custom KV6 bits
