everyone will have a good or bad opinion so expect some haters but with mine was a good they even gave me a heads up after the tune that my slave was pretty much on its was out so got it replaced there too

I think a important factor to remember is the key components of the work is sourced out to engine workshops, were the machining, honing and rest of the recovery process is completed. The assembling of the motor is then done in the workshop, bolting the parts together. To save some coin it's often viable to remove the motor from your vehicle and source a few of things yourself then leave the assemble and tune to a workshop.

In terms of feedback, they have a good reputation a good friends stagea was rebuilt by them and made 600~ hp last year and still is going well.

i own said stagea and i cant recommend marc and the boys at c-red highly enough great work, great to deal with and even understanding if dramas occur with payment so A++++ rating for c-red

Yep Tony at Nostech is very knowledgable for machining / engine building. He did my crank, crank collar etc, also did a mates GTR crank too, and the crank for my dads BMW race car. He seems to know his shit!

PM me if you want my indirect experience.

As far as good machinists go, we use Tony at Nostech in Welshpool.

    • Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.
    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 馃槩 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
