today i fitted a turbot to my engine , however i am sorry to say that there were no power gains but did did make engine emit a bad smell . i am worried that i have not purchased the correct size turbot for my engine and have ended up with a red herring.

everyone knows a red herring is pants, you need a great white shark to gain any power from a 126!

In his own words

It is rare that I fold them down, but it has to be said that when folded they remove a bit of weight. Vertical seats exert more downward force because the energy is focused on a smaller surface area. When horizontal, the weight is spread and so is less per Centimetre squared.

lmao

That guy is clever. That's why he drives a vauxhall...

Must be why they have started putting beds on long haul flights - saves on fuel.

Maybe he wouldn't bother folding his seats if he had some 126 genius - then he'd know that leaning hard over the steering wheel while biting your tongue will get a 126 to 70mph in under 4 minutes. Pure genius.

has anyone looked at (www.megasquirt.info) a site for people who want to build fuel injection systems, but have no experience with them. Free software, monitor all systems by laptop, improve fuel effeciency.
buy the circuits and source the injectors yourself . Prefered source.... from a scrapyard!! this is the perfect DIY fuel injection systemfor a home maker. This will be my fist project once my fait 500 (with 126 engine) is on the road if anyone else has been down this road then let me know, if not then i will update.

Thanks

Michael
