I will try to keep it up to date, and will try post some pics etc on it here aswell.

How far through are you?
Have you seen the guy Baldur's build? It looked quite good, but haven't found any recent info about how it is going now.

Fair enuff, well hopefully I will be a fair way through my built and be able to sort out some of the EFI problems we are likely to run into, and be able to help you out when the time comes.

Haha, nah, havent touched the engine yet. So I will just see how it goes, and if it blows, buy a new engine, and rebuilt the old one stronger, better, faster.

Have sierra 1.3 with sc14 supercharger. Running 1.6 litre swift throttle body injection. Using a bypass for extra boost not required. Pistons lasted about 200km,then lost compression due to ring gap metal breaking away. Recomend using a turbo or induction type piston.

Take a look at the teamswift page as they have most of the details on there. Honda ones are almost the same.
