Just did a compression check, here's what I measured:
108, 120, 96, 85 I've got a stock 1.8L, but would like to build a 1911 or 2056 in the relatively near future. Hopefully I'll be ok for another year or so with the current setup. |

consider the tangine racing cable set up rather than bellcrank. i replaced my bellcrank with cable setup. superior in every way. quick install, a real throttle pedal that you can modulate rather being a light switch and easy adjustment and syncronizing.

I did look at those but, unfortunately, the price was almost as much as my whole car. Unfortunate for my car, that is! |
