Had a great meeting with Jason today at Hellier
Jason is doing the head first.. and fitting the new cams..
Then once I have the Scholar block and new pistons Im taking the rest up to Jason's for balancing and then Jason is building the whole engine.. so all I'll have to do is bolt the gearbox on and drop onto the subframe..
Jason recommends throttle bodies.. but this will have to wait till the car is finished...
Going with Jason's recommendations for the build, and as Jason is based within the Janspeed building I'll hopefully get a good price on the Janspeed 4-2-1 manifold and sports cat.. and retain the TT Mk7
Jason reckons set the rev limiter to 7,200 whilst still on a single throttle body.. then set it at 8,500-8,700 once the throttle bodies go on in the future..
His opinion is Scholar are good for everyday and occasional track day.. but wouldnt fit a scholar to a track only racer..
Jason also favours an oil/air cooler.. so that'll be on the shopping list too..
