my new engine ( seh )

Post by branny361 »

Took the best part of 6 weekends faffing around with wiring , engine mounts oil pumps/pullies but eventually got the unit fitted and running .So yesterday it got a good wash and wax and took it out for a run .

Its ok but still needs a bit of tweeking (plus an air box) not as quick as the eco but it goes (i suppose)

A couple of todays photo's

loved it in my 4x4 with the f20 on it but it doesnt set me alight in this car .

seems less urgent and still has the cat and ecotec exhaust with the f18w box still attached .wonder if that has any effect?

yet to give it a walloping down a local private road and see if it does the business.
