    G'Day Steve,
     
    The Mk1 looks good.
    Can you share some the engine specs with us?
     
    Cheers,
    Rhys

    the engine is a std pinto efi running std ecu
    it has a decompression plate and 2 head gaskets (1 either side of the decompression plate)
    to lower the compression it also has higher flow rate injectors from a saab 2.3 turbo
    it has a modified cosworth intercooler in front of the rad and produces just over 200bhp at 15 psi of boost
     
    first night i had it on the road slaughtered 2 sierra cosworth without any probs they were a bit upset lol
     
    me and the son are currently restoring a ford 100e and fitting a nissan sr20det engine but need to know how to wire the engine up if anyone can help ?

    Nice mk1 there!
    200 BHP = rear wheel hp? or engine/flywheel hp?
    I run an sr in a mk2 RS, what sort of help do you need in regards to wiring?
     
    cheers
