I think Raw engineering are the people you need to speak to www.rawengineering.co.uk.

I was hoping someone would have Justins contact with the blue s/c one. Anyway now it begins, just bought a 20v to build up for next year.

Great little engine, even unsupercharged. Just watch that you have a good sump -- I destroyed my 2004 Silvertop via oil surge on 1B tyres at a Hullavington trackday :(

Much the best solution if you can stretch to it. I replaced the Silvertop with a "mildly modified" phase 3 4A-GE with a Raw alloy winged/windowed sump. It was fine from the point of view of surge, but it still blew oil out of every orifice (catch tank, of course, but also the dipstick) at any speed above 8000rpm. Dry sumping cured it completely.
