Burque

I have spent a little more time inspecting this Caterham. All of the external SVT hardware seems to be there. The intake with control cable and module is present as is the cam solenoid. MAF, EGO sensors and cat all look OEM. It dyno’d 157hp/137tq at the rear wheels. This seems in line with the sellers statement of 185hp at the engine if one assumes 15% losses. Will continue investigating. Any recommendations on tools to use to inspect the tune?

Greetings all. I'm a new member of USA7s, and the new owner of the car you've been discussing in this thread, purchased from the dealer a few days ago. Inspecting the engine it appears to be an SVT externally, including the intake cam control valve and multi stage intake. I'll be taking it to my tuning shop next month to peek inside the calibration and do a dyno run. If any of you can point me to an SVT shop manual I'd be grateful. Everything I've found so far excludes the SVT. I'd like to know more about the engine vs the stock zetec, in particular to help me deduce if this engine is all SVT or a mashup of stock and SVT created during the rebuild. The tires are dated, so I'm planning an upgrade. I'd like to put it on 13" minilites for the taller sidewall and classic look. The current 7Jx16 et19 wheels with 205/45R16 tires fit the fenders pretty well, but when I went looking for minilite 13s I could not locate et19's. Can anyone guide me to 7jx13 et19 minilites, or minilite style?
