  1. This is my air box , which is fitted to a heavily tuned 2ltr 16v used with a K&N filter , it made a massive differnce , on the rollers with a std airbox the engine was nearly 10bhp down , very restrictive
  2. Me too :D Got mine today Darren , thank you very much ! Evereyone else - you must but one of these , they are the dogs ! :lol:
  3. PM sent matey ! I'll have one of those little bloody beautys !
  4. Nope , i got the engine from a friend about a year or so ago , even though its brand new and should be under warrenty (12,000miles) and they just fobbed me off ! :cry: As for the painted dipstick , i thought the same , but when i checked the oil on a couple of occasions the dipstick was covered in flakes of paint and they can drop straight down to the sump - not good for crank oil ways ! :cry:
  5. This is a warning to anybody who is considering using them ! I had a fully built 9A of them , fitted it , run everything in properly and 1500 miles down the line i had the worst knocking you have heard , Basically i removed the sump and found that the shell on No3 had fallen to bits , my oil looked like glitter and there were even large pieces of the shell in the bottom of my sump. Between myself and two friends they have f**ked up 4 engines , for the following cases of bad workmanship: No1: they painted the inside of the sump , the paint blocked the oil pump. No2: they used 8v crank bearings in a 16v and they fell to bits causing the crank to move sidways. No3:they painted the inside of the dipstick tube , the paint blocked the crank oil way and dertroyed the shell. No4: they used std fitment shells on a reground crank . . . . you get the picture ! And this is just with in my circle of friends , i hate to think how many of these "cowboy" builds other people have had problems with. 4 for crying out loud ! :x :x They are completly incapable of building an engine correctly if there lives depended on it ! When approached about the problems they just make up poo excuses and try and fob you off , quite possibly the most unhelpful , useless tuning company in the land ! And breath . . . . . . do yourselves a favour Do not use TSR ! :x :x
