Didn't have any holes in the casings fella. Still reckon it was the timing thats done the damage. Just hope i can get someone to do the work for a reasonable price.

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.

Yeah was going to but didn't bother in the end. Even got him to lower the power as it was making the clutch slip badly. Last time it went on the rollers it was 225 with the nitrous on. I really don't believe it was the gas that knackerd it but you never know.

Got a 53 plate engine on the waiting list and just want to know if it's going to be ok in a mark 2 car. Is there any differences or will everything bolt onto it ok.

[Steves Cleenz]

everything is the same, the only engine that is different is from a zt as these have a different fuel rail thats all
