Hi everyone a friend of mine has offered me a brand new webcon complete 7 port head for a really good price. What are your thought? Straight forward to fit?

[nicklouse]

Can be very expensive.

[A1111j]

What the head or everything else?

[sonscar]

Buy it,stick it on,fuel inject it,enjoy endless months of fettling and really enjoy yourself( or something like that)Steve..

[A1111j]

If I do it will be twin dcoe40 as I have a pair in the shed

‘Straight forward to fit’? No, but I’d consider it, but only as part of a fuel injected setup.

Everyone on here is probably bored of hearing this. I wouldn't bother if I had the last 3 years again

Humor me,what did you find disappointing?Short manifold with port injection,plenum with single throttle body and it could be ideal.Bear in mind that I have two Megasquirt equipped cars which have been injected for 17 years or so(1800 MGB and 3.5 rover V8)Only the cost prevents me buying a 7port for my MGB.Steve..

For me, for the road the cost is prohibitive. A well sorted 5 port really isn't that far behind and is way cheaper. For track days, racing etc different kettle of fish.

Can I ask if yours was injected? And if so what ECU you were using?

Mine?
Injected yes. Delta 400 from SC

And off the back of what has happened to Graham, steer clear of the Delta ECU and go for Haltech instead.

Unfortunately for me I will potentially have similar issues as I have the SC Billet Aluminium seven port with their Billet Aluminium throttle bodies. This engine is also being built by Oz who built Grahams. Mine is somewhat behind but hoping to have it complete this year and hopefully running.

Once it’s fully up and running and as funds allow I will be changing to Haltech. A far superior ecu and more operator friendly as well.

Sonnik,consider a plenum chamber with a single throttle body.Multiple bodies open to give massive air at the slightest opening which may not be ideal for a road car.The ECU tuning comes largely from the tuning software and familiarity with it as well as a good knowledge of how it works together.Apologies if you know this.Steve..

Sonnik,consider a plenum chamber with a single throttle body.

Is a plenum available for the SC 7-port, or is it a case of finding something suitable?

[sonscar]

Should be easy enough to fabricate something,would not know what is available but Sonnikk seems to have good skills.Steve..
