Lets get on with it then !!!!!!!!!!!

MadRod · 09-11-2008, 09:00 PM

Well 2 months of inactivity for personal reasons are over & its full steam ahead on getting the engine to the Dyno.
A revised engine Spec will be used, but lets see how it works before talking about it.
Yesterday the wrc 8 injector inlet was returned, drilled for the Nitrous, apparently this is no longer cheating

. With the exception of the plenum spacer (on Cossie Rich's car) all parts are now completed & the engine should, no lets make that will, be built next week.
Have had contact with Topgear mag & they are comming along to see what happens & I hope this will lead to more exciting things next year.
Not sure if 'on the spot' Chip highlights will be allowed this time, we shall see.

Fingers crossed topgear mag dont mind the figures being published ahead of their article, but I suppose you have to respect it if they do make that decision.

saph4be · 10-11-2008, 03:49 PM

love these threads good luck with it all

Dan · 10-11-2008, 04:16 PM

Great news Rod, hope it holds together and does the business this time!

Best of luck!

MadRod · 10-11-2008, 06:22 PM

The Dyno session has been set for friday 28th November to give Top Gear as much notice as possible. Forget it being built this week, that was me being optimistic. Two parts have still not arrived, one thats gone back for changes. Mark went on one of his Rambles again today

& wants to change things at this late stage, I will let him make the enquiry & then may reach a deal on something a bit different & certainly new to me.
Want to get this right so best wait untill the facts are known.

109 octane which added 10hp to the 735hp on pump fuel, then the new inlet added 46hp to that.

Okay, worth a try, as Rodney said he wouldn't have a problem with it

Best of luck and hope that this time you have already broken all the "eggs", and that the "omlette" is now ready to be cooked to perfection

Im sure Simon will also be happy to show you how above board his Dyno is too, it should all be pretty familiar to you anywhay with it being the same as Harveys one
