I think you are going to struggle but an airbox and a RaceCo silencer is as good as you will get. With that set-up I used to record about 96db at 5500rpm on my 226bhp K which revved to 8000rpm

Spectators are welcome and IIRC it's free. You can wander round the paddock and chat with the competitors. View of the track is a bit limited but there is plenty of space to watch on the finish straight and also around the Bus Stop which is where most of the spins occur 😬

LesG - it's a Duratec but otherwise similar issues. I don't run a lambda sensor but for rolling road I have the boss in the collector. Dave - thanks, that makes sense. I'll mount it there and see how it does.
-
I've seen some people mention mounting the air temp sensor remotely from the air filter back plate in order to avoid erroneous readings due to heat soak. Where would be a good place to mount the sensor in a Caterham? As we sprint the car it spends a lot of time idling in the queue for a run and heat soak is a real problem. On previous engines I have located it in the backplate but if there is a more sensible place then I would like to know.

Thanks everyone. I have a Jenvey cable so will chop the end off the K cable and join it to the Jenvey one using some of the bits from Venhill. Looks like they do a middle adjuster that will do the job. Jenvey supplied a solder less nipple for the end of the inner cable. Thanks again for the help. Shaun

Thanks - some good ideas there. Chris - I guess you didn't mean to link to some motorcycle goggles
-
I am using the Jenvey throttle linkage under the TBs and running the cable round the front of the engine and back to the pedal box. What is the best way to attach the outer at the pedal box? Ideally I would take the fitting off the end of the K throttle cable but I can't see how to do that. Alternatively, Caterham sell a Duratec throttle cable which just looks like a longer version of the K cable but I'm not sure it's long enough and I would have to butcher the TB end. Suggestions and pictures gratefully received.

OK -i'll give that a whirl if no one has something closer. Cheers.

Has anyone got an Emerald map for a Duratec 2.0 they would let me have? It's a Raceline engine with CNC head, 1mm oversize valves, Raceline's RD300 cams and 48mm Throttle bodies. The car will be properly mapped but I would like a map that would at least let me start the car and check it runs OK before trailering to the rolling road.

I'll let him know. Thanks.

A friend with a Westfield is looking for a set of pistons for a 1600 X-flow with a 60 thou overbore. They don't have to be anything special.

YHM regarding air filter cover

Dry sump tower to rear vent and front vent to catch tank is how I ran mine.

Thanks Ian - I've got 90 mm trumpets but if I need to use an airbox then I'll have to get some shorter ones. Getting closer to completion now but have to swap my injectors for the short ones like you have otherwise the fuel rail fouls the backplate and it all starts getting messy . Off to Think Auto tomorrow morning to get all the hoses sorted and then on to Good Fabs in the afternoon to have the exhaust fitted properly. That just leaves the wiring to be sorted. I might make the start of the season after all.
-
Is this airbox the one to have and does it fit a Pipercross backplate? Is there any decent alternative? Hoping not to need one but if I do would like to get the one that is least restrictive. I understand that the R500 one is not great - is this true? Thanks, Shaun

Thanks folks.
-
Is there a boss for the exhaust mounting bracket on the drivers side? If not what's the best route to fitting the bracket? Thanks, Shaun
-
Still a lot of work to do including plumbing and wiring so a few weeks to go before it will be running. Hope to have it done by the end of March.

Well there is now a Ford engine in my engine bay

Jenvey 45mm direct to head throttle bodies with 90mm trumpets. DVA modified throttle linkage, fuel rail and mounting brackets. £450 Bernard Scouse airbox including back plate (machined for Jenvey 45mm throttle bodies) plus large K&N filter. This is the later, larger volume box with 80mm inlet. £150 Set of 4 Caterham R500 injectors. £180 Deal for throttle bodies plus airbox (i.e. complete induction set-up) = £550 Deal for the whole lot (TBs + airbox + injectors) = £700 This set-up is ready to bolt on. You just need your existing throttle pot and air temperature sensor. Edited by - Shaun_E on 5 Feb 2013 20:59:11 -
This model here. Its been on the car for 3 or 4 years but is in good condition with no leaks. Suitable for most cars including K-series which is what I ran it with. Now upgraded to Duratec power so have bought a Radtec. £120 Edited by - Shaun_E on 4 Feb 2013 22:11:21

Ray is a brave man. Gill has a purple belt and is now working on her brown belt - the one after that is Black. 😶🌫️

Passenger footwell end plate remade and fitted today having discovered the one Cateham sent me didn't fit. Hoping the dry sump tank turns up soon but I can fit the engine without it for now.
