Triumph TR6 125-150hp conversion Part 6 - Final summary and conclusion - Was it worth it?

[@mansfield1971]

Honest review but you've also experienced the journey to get there which is in the memory bank. I'm sure the car is improved. I'm looking at buying a TR6 and your channel is very enlightening.

Great series of videos and thanks especially for the honest conclusion. „Can‘t take your money with you“ - so true. That‘s why my US spec TR6, modified already to deliver 130 HP, will get triple Webers next winter, also hoping to find another 20 HP or so. Looking forward to your next video. Cheers 👍

I had a TR six and I put in enormous amount of modifications to every part of the car. Mostly bits and pieces that came from TR Revington spares. She also was running on three side draft Webbers, which took me quite some time to dial in, but the finished product was like fuel injection! I miss that car.

No problem to adjust the metering on a PI car, as long as the metering unit is set up correctly for the vacuum your car delivers with a specific cam. At least the ramp angle set up behind the rectangular plastic cover has to be set up right and the vacuum springs has to be correct for the cam, which you better leave to specialists. As long as this is set up right, the adjustment on the top metering screw package can be done by yourself as long as a Lamda-Sensor with AFR gauge is installed. So, you can adjust the fuel mixture by a different procedure compared to carbs, but as soon as you know what does what, it is even simpler and much easier to adjust fuel mixture than on carbs with different needles and springs to try out.

Hi, A good honest video. I have '73 CP which I enjoy but starting is sluggish and it can be a pig in traffic, so as you say up grading the power may be a mixed bag. The downgrading in power was an attempt to make a more drivable car. I think an upgraded starter motor would be a good investment if you upgrade although as you care for your car you may already have one.

Hi how much did it cost for the work Remington did to it and the rolling road?

[@mgmidget-thebirthofaraceca4349]

Rates are specific to your needs. Suggest you give Revington TR a call and they will be happy to explain their services and costs to you depending on your needs

£1500 all in, new cam, new oversized pistons and rings, , throttle bodies, rebore, metering unit and injectors, Revington labour and rolling road, sounds like a bargain, I’d have thought twice that easily. I’d have thought the Revington work would have been near £1000.

[@mgmidget-thebirthofaraceca4349]

no the £1500 was just the cam and tuning element, the boring and engine rebuild is not included in that, so you probably about right in total

@@mgmidget-thebirthofaraceca4349 ah ok, I now understand why you maybe came across in the video as maybe it wasn’t all worth it. Near £4K I’d say.
