hello people after two and half year my noble 3r has been sitting in the naughty corner after deciding to make a rather large knocking noise from the crankshaft i thought to repair it
just removed the engine and gearbox i say just !! so now i am here i thought i now would be the best time to carry out some mods
i like
fuel pump plus wiring
tunnel mod
m400 timing
raise the horse power to 420 -450
maybe turbos
ecu replacement to one which is unlocked
and gearbox bearings and oil cooler
i know that a fair list but seems nows time to get involved
any help and info would greatly appreciated before i reinvent wheel

when you do the timing, make sure you fit the stronger valve springs otherwise they float at high revs. This will probably be made worse by higher boost.
