I wonder if the next one can be done in 2 days

You only have one fully working car is that wise? 

I currently have NO fully working cars

Tunnie's was about 2 and a half days by the time we'd finished calibrating and mapping it... But we didn't exactly rush

As said in the other thread... If shifts allow I'm willing to lend a hand

A lot of Bacon butties were consumed 

What saved time though is having pre-drilled, tapped, and injector mounted manifold. If you have a weekend in mind, let me know see what i can do here, can bring it here, more space to work on it, and if it rains push it in the garage

you could do a lot worse than try this outfit, couple of polish guys and a kraut,i have seen the quality of there work and its first rate

My spare 2.2 inlet manifold is around (tunnie ?). The idea is you can get it drilled and nozzles fitted without putting your car off the road. Then the whole job can be done in stages, a day at a time, with the car still usable in between.

Teilo speaks quite highly of them actually. Only trouble is, I think they fit the nozzles without removing the manifold

Yep, which is why IIRC they say they can do your install in 1 day.
Having seen with my own eyes the amount of swarf generated during drilling, and even allowing for the drill bit being well greased to 'capture as it cuts' , I wouldn't want to take the chance of getting any in my engine.

3/4 guys who know exactly what they're doing. They start early and finish late

I don't trust installers - that said I hope someone can help me check the calibration at Newent as I is using a bit too much gas.

Unfortunately I'm not going but I think Kevin is. Have you got the software and lead?

Yes - they live in the car  -my boss deleted RISN off his laptop

Turn it down to 'simmer' when you're stood at the lights Martin

Well if we gat the correct size hole cutter for the boot floor.....

And don't forget there's a fair bit more work with the number plate filler. Bumper on and off at least half a dozen times and welding the cross member bracket etc....

Plus it took us a while to suss the vap mounting which will be a dodle on the dbw engine...

All things considered....time for curry on Sunday night as well...calibrate on the way to the restaurant.

You forgot the precision CNC laser cutting of the bumper crossmember. That reminds me. must put a new disk in my angle grinder.
