Thanks for the advice Ruan. It's probably best to get the most well known ecu like you say to ensure that I can easily find someone to remap it.
This is the first time I've touched upon ecu's and engine modifications so I'm open to all suggestions and advice from you guys.
I'm running the standard throttle body and inlet just to keeps things simple until I can gather the necessary parts to progress with it. I use the car often so didn't want to be without wheels for too long. I am surprised it runs at all!
The initial theory was to just get it running to make sure the head I rebuilt was ok. I had visions of it being a tapping catastrophe, in which case I would have put it back to standard.
It was very noisy to start with before the hydraulic tappets filled with oil. I did have a very worried look on my face especially as this head isn't designed to be fitted to this engine. When I fitted the vernier cam pulleys I set them to the central position on both as I assumed this was a neutral setting. I didn't want to bend any valves. Is this right?
