Had the Dax mapped at dave walkers Emerald in norfolk today. Turned up at quarter to 10 and was greeted at the door by dave. We discussed a few things and got the car on the rollers. Dave got the idle and light throttle sorted after setting up the basic settings I'd missed. Dave did the first power run at 80% throttle and we got about 220Bhp although it was reading 280 (dyno set on the wrong setting) The next power run at full throttle and there was an almighty bang at 6000rpm and sparks flew from the front of the engine, which died like a stone. I was really worried that the engine had siezed, this was made worse when we tried rocking the car in gear and it wouldn't move - whoops wrong gear the engine wasn't siezed so we tried it on the starter but there was no speed signal, and we discovered the trigger wheel was completely unattached to the crank pulley. BUGGER.


Into the shop and the car wouldn't fit on the lift so out with the trolley jack. I manged to get the crank pulley off after much swearing at a 3 leg puller. The welds holding the steel timing wheel to the cast iron crank pulley had let go, mashing it. Dave was an absolute star and got the whole lot cleaned up and drilled and tapped equally spaced round the edge of the pulley with a milling machine and bolted up tightly with countersunk bolts and loctite. I suspect you might see something about it in PPC.

Back on the rollers and the mapping completed and all sorted. We stuck with the current boost level as its mad enough at the moment, but we couldn't go any higher anyway as the amal valve needs re-jetting. Got 236bhp @ 6541rpm and 218ft/lb @ 4388 rpm so well chuffed with that seeing as I built it myself. Got a fair bit more there with only half an hours work if I want, but that'd be silly, wouldn't it Had it weighed the other week too - full tank of fuel 730kg.

Dave was absolutely fantastic and very reasonably priced, even without all the work above and beyond the call of duty.
