Morning John, yeah in the end[:)] bit of tinkering but ended up running the Red top into a swirl pot in the boot, that feeds a Bosch type injection pump,filter, then into the Malpassi rising rate regulator. Return back to tank from both regulator and swirl pot. Seems to work fine at 3-5 psi + boost. Certaily no starvation issues, quite the opposite ha ha.
Silver, have done the usual mods most choose to do with the V8 conversion, uprated the suspension, but left std springs on the rear(thought it may give it more bite into the road) brakes are Vitesse 4 pots with vented discs, sherpa servo and M/C, strut roller bearings for steering (hate to think what parking would be like without them,I'm a 6ft 17 stone rugby player and its still a bicep workout at parking speeds!!![}:)]) behaves lovely at speed though and curiously, no wobble at 55!!![:)] 15" MGF 5 spoke alloys, full blended body kit (still have to fit the boot spoiler) functioning cruise lights, Front mounted intercooler, Powermax dizzy with Lucas sports coil, 8mm leads and of course the purring Rover 3.5 complete with Janspeed turbo[:D][:D][:D]
If you do decide to go down the V8 route and why not (you pay almost half of what we do for petrol!!!!) the forced aspiration devil WILL, show his ugly face, The wedge shop have been developing an off the shelf kit....nice!
She's taken two years of fannying about to get to this point but unfortunately I work nights so have to sleep when its light and could be tinkering, half the weekends out because of sport oh and not forgetting family stuff ha ha. Been done on a bit of a shoestring budget too, what I couldnt get I made and what I had to get new I saved my sparechange for. Watched Ebay like a hawk! Those new parts I mentioned, got them delivered when my partner was out working, squirreled them away for a few weeks to get dusty then, If she asked, it was like, Oh no love, these old things, had them ages look[;)] Dont judge me, Im sure we've all done it.... or are going to now ha ha
