With the build under way we have made a decision to use FTW Purple & not Methanol that will mean less Power but the decision follows advice from Andy Forrest to quote - ' Methanol is a different game altogether, great if you can nail the tune on it but that's quite tricky in my experience.' . Andy suggest Purple is no more difficult to tune than C85 or E98 but will make 5-10% more Power than any other race fuel he has tried. Mark made the decision because a 'on the edge' engine like mine is not the time to try Methanol for the first time.
That solves one problem we can supply the required fuel @ 16v from our current accuvolt system & don't require the 18.5v system although I would rather like that & may splash the cash anyway.
We will still go ahead with the monitoring of 4 egt probes via the ecu can bus as Mark suggest that info is good to have.
Ive also purchased another bonnet to go back to standard look even finding white aero catches which are no longer available.
