Went to Brunters today with Scotty etc

Fiesta did 0-60 in 2.85 seconds
and 0-100 in 5.92 seconds

Then this happend to put a stop to the day

 

That's mega rapid! is it FWD or RWD ?

 

fook me what spec is the fezzer?

 

Thats a shame,thats quick as fook

 

AD-RS1600i, it 4 wheel drive
amazing times

 

@ that inlet

What boost does it run?

 

Looks like they better get a better welder to fab their bits

 

what happened with the plenum? looks like a bag of walkers inside out

hope it didn't cause any other damage


awesome,awesome times

 

fecking fast best he fix it and start popping it into the 9's

 

WOW!!!

I love that car!

I prefer the Escort though!

 

Fookin hell thats quick, shame about the damage! Will have to get a carbon one!

 

The plenum was very well made it just didn't like the amount of boost and the nos i assume.

The Car is mapped to run 2.2bar boost i think but it was tailing off before the plunum let go, so new plenum and sort boost leak and hopefully it will be in the 9s on the 1/4 all being well.

As said above it is 4wd.

 

fook me thats awesome

 

The carbon one split, hence the use of a alloy one.

 

fookin quality times,

looks like the nitrous was working to its full effect

congrats on the times though

 

by looks of how it exploded and how the nitrous is injected id not be suprised if it was a nitrous explosion rather than the boost becuase it pooled up in the inlet manifold.

direct port nitrous time IMO

 

Fucking crazy rapid!

 

Fook me, That is madness

 

I would personally say that was the nitrous that caused that

it can make a mess of anything and looks like he was lucky.

odd how Steve only said to me this afternoon about Steve Bennetts Sierra when it backfired on gas ! slight curse there possibly

I would say its time for a set of direct port injectors really, cant really trust that manifold to flow the nitrous equally and its maybe a slightly expensive engine to be taking any more risks with,

fair play though, I'm sure chip will be on here later to give a good solution to fixing the problem if its caused by nitrous

 

awsome times

but that inlet not good at all

 

I would agree - it looks like a sudden huge increase in pressure, otherwise I would have thought if it just gave up it would have just cracked a bit. The other thing that makes me think that was seeing that vid clip that was on here before of a nitrous explosion on a RR.

 

I personally know nothing about nitrous so cannot really comment on if it was the cause.

 

amazing results!

 

I work for a nitrous supplier and from only a bit of experience on my own car these things can and do happen.

exactly what caused it is anyones guess, I'm sure Scotty will have maybe noticed it miss or do something prior to the manifold ending up like that, could of been plenty of things but would say the nitrous didn't help matters.

however you cant deny thats some serious times he has laid down and it wont be long till its running 9's for sure,

good luck to him on that one, its one serious car

anyone have a link to any pics of the car ?

 

 

4wd, 650bhp without nos on race fuel @ 2 bar boost, pectel t6, standard (ish) comp ratio, wrc rods, 8 injectors, quaife 'box cant be arsed typing any more as it was mag featured a few months ago. Doubt 2.2 bar would do that much damage must be the nitrous. Steve is on here now!

 

that is an animal

 

Mad!

 

Nitrous does NOT explode,thats a common misconception from watching The Fast and the Furious too much..

What it does do is liberate huge amounts of oxygen,which obviously assists the combustion process massively......

Likely cause is maybe a misfire at an inoportune moment causing the fuel enrichment charge in the manifold to ignite,.....assisted by the nitrous obviously...

When will people realise Nitrous Oxide is just AIR......

 

Oh Yeah........................Fookin awesome times by the way Steve..

 

nightdavva, interesting mate, learnt a bit there

 

thats freaking fast!

 

I'm quite aware of what nitrous is amd how it works.

your likely cause though is most probably what it was though, done it to mine on several occasions..

luckily it cost me a new air flow meter and air filter, not quite the expense of swedish plenum or whatever he has, sorry had

 

very fast.
@ that inlrt

 

I didnt say the nitrous would explode on its own, i called it a nitrous explosion, an explosion caused by the nitrous injection system and the way its installed, its quite common.

And it very much looks like that. Nitrous/Fuel mix pooled in inlet due to manifold and nitrous install design, slight missfire, blammo, inlet blown open.

 

Robbie you boring bastard

Have you seen my pillar drill

 

awesome times


shame about damage

 

them boys at A1 sure no how to build cars fookin rapid

 

It`s very nice...........Has it ate that cake yet.....

 

Seen that before
