Good stuff Jak, I am sure this thread would help people make up their mind on the type of engine when considering a conversion. Just checked out the
link........... those black wheels are just too bad!!

Hi Cam,
We missed out this year, due to time contraints, family work etc. We are booked in for next year along with some other interesting events. We might
even be coming down your way.
The car had to be content with shopping trolley duties this year.
regards
Jak

Great read Jak.
About the 39mpg
Ive always thought mine was real economical, ive never checked but think it would be around that or better.
Im running 3.88 RP and for some reason mine runs past 7500 sometimes, on the stock ECU.
These things love to rev heh!
Or maybe its just me.

Interesting, id like to do those mods on the exhaust and inlet. Ive read they make a small difference, I had no idea it would be anything like a big
improve.
Yeah sometimes I get carried away at the drags and hold 3rd thru the traps or maybe just asleep during gear changes.
I have no idea where peak torque is, but your probably right at about 6000.
The engine was definately more lively at normal road speeds when I had the 4.12 in it. With the 3.88 it seems a bit more lazy, but still enough to get
me into plenty of trouble.
