Thanks Dean, not sure how much further im going with the lightening, this is my daily driver after all. Having no radio is getting boring now.





Doesn't look like £165 worth does it?


Im waiting on some paypal funds to clear and will be buying my megajolt ecu.

Wow, I made it up to page 72 of your thread, and I must say..........I think your mad!!
how many times dya think you have had the engine in and out!! You must have money to burn!lol

stick to a 998, very reliable

stick to a 998, very reliable

Also very very true!!!!. Used to give my old 998 so much abuse and it didn't care. Then the rings went. A hone and a set of rings would have seen many more miles of 7000+rpm. In hindsight I should have done that!!

To be fair, I bought this engine for £50, thrash it all day (from cold) on asda cheap as chips oil, it's done a track day, and yet to let me down, doesn't even leak oil.

The carb sticks occasionaly but that's not then engines fault.

It's so good, im going to take it out as is and put it in the workshop with all ancilaries for the next time the 1380 blows.



I've just spent the last of my student loan on megajolt and associated parts and will be going down the scrappy on the weekend to get the coilpack and sensor.

That should be it then. Very excited!!!!!

1380 build on the weekend and waiting on my ecu from america for the Megajolt!

[HARBER07]

Good luck with the Megajolt Ben - It really is pretty cool when you fire it up first time with the dizzy out!!. Also has the cool factor of being able to plug your engine into a laptop!

TPS or MAP?

[mini_mad69]

MAP, couldn't be hassled with trying to mount the TPS on a HIF.


I'll try make a resevour or something to try smooth out pulsing.

[HARBER07]

MAP is probably the best option anyways

If you need any 6mm pneumatic hose let me know. I've got crap loads!!!

Forgot about that comment.



NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! going from 1380 too 998 added nearly 10 seconds to my 0-60!!!!!

Cheers mate, I'll let you know if I need any, where did you get yours?


Probably not going to see any 1380 building this weekend, I can't be bothered to go home!

The car is only doing 50 odd miles a week at the moment, so im in no rush, i've got to get the centre main machined anyway. Although my megajolt bits and bobs started arriving.

[HARBER07]

Can't remember the name of the seller, but it came from eBay, along with various push fit connectors.

Might have been this bloke actually link

[mini_mad69]

I'm currently sitting in the car waiting for the RAC, I think harber07s got the right idea by getting rid of these stupid little cars.

[benb12]

What's wrong with it Ben?

[HARBER07]

I'd say stick with it mate, but I wouldn't mean it!!

Wassup with it?
