Plenty going on over the past two weeks. Loads of parts have arrived and consequently my study now looks like some sort of parts emporium
I'll save the list of parts until the car's back from having some work done on it. Along with getting the pedal box plinth welded in, the car is booked in for the beginning of May to have it's new charge piping fabricated.
Engine wise, I've spent the past few days dialing in the cams. It doesn't take that long really but, when you only have an hour or 2 per evening and when you consider how fiddly it actually is to dial in cams accurately on a CG engine, it does take a bit of patience.
The 270deg cams have now been dialed in as good as I cam get them. Only the dyno will tell if they need changing from there. I've based the initial dial-in on similar cams used in the 4EFTE but, to be fair, the majority of engines spec pretty similar cam data so it's probably going to be fine. The distribution of things will dictate where we go from there, if at all.

Next is to strip down my ABS hubs and replace the bearings. Seeing as though we're upgrading things significantly in terms of engine management, it seems like a good opportunity to run a full suite of ABS sensors, so we can implement traction control, boost by gear and even cruise control if we wish. The latter isn't really necessary but it would be fun on long drives to and from events
Plenty more happening in the background but I'll make some updates a bit later, as everything is a bit of a mess at present.
