Parts shown with a * are not yet fitted.

Smallport engine fitted using Bluetop ecu and sensors. Modded smallport inlet manifold. Stock airfilter. Tubular exhaust manifold and competition exhaust system.
Twin 45DCOE weber carbs, ready to fit with linkages and manifold etc *
CATCAMS 264in 260ex 9.5mm lift cams with underbucket shims *
HKS valve springs *
Cusco MFE ECU *
Freedom ECU *
Superchip ICON programmable ignition piggyback *

The Superchip Icon can allow ignition timing adjustment to the Cusco or stock ECU If I "lock out" the stock distributor to use it with the carbs.

Please also keep in mind that the car is used for tarmac rallying and the car that won my class over the weekend on one of the fastest rallies of the year was a 200hp 850kg Civic. It came a very creditable 2nd overall in icy conditions.

10% is a lot I know but I would like to do better than 6th in class !!

The car handles nicely and has plenty of grip and that is due mostly to the help and advice given by people on here so I thank you all very much.
Cheers, TC

my humble opinion....

Get rid of the bluetop ecu... in fact my VERY honest opinion... sell all the old ECU's you have... sell them as high priced as you can(like on club4ag - sell them as unique and "special") with the money you get from all the other management set ups, buy yourself a ViPec, or other mid grade, easy to tune COMPLETE management system.

Get rid of the Webers too.. sell those like you are selling the old ECUs...

Keep the cams, although you'll likely need another full compression point to properly run them.

carefully performed mods can easily net you a 10% power gain
