It also provokes a reaction with a title like that to get people to read/post. Good idea Rod

Sorry lads my sense of Humour has always been misunderstood too much Monty Python when i was young.
I realise these are positive comments .
On the day one of the other compeditors was heard to say how can an old Ford be allowed to run at an event like this. He ran 161 on the day

When he ran 161 you should have gone up to him and said
"ive found a way to make my rubbishy old ford match your fantastic supercar for performance, im going to remove sparkplug number 3"

We're getting that problem on the astra still at the moment, although the new manifold im getting made up for it should solve that as i think its largely due to the short path from number 3 on the head to the turbo on the standard manifold.

nope heat melting the piston and they all say the head gasket has blown after the run .
It is common on 4 injector cosworths greens blues greys as they are reving the engines higher than they normally would for a sustained period and the injectors are flat out at 500 rpm less .The higher the engine is reved the bigger the injector needs to be it is time base issue, to put it simmply the higher the engine is reved the less time we have to get the fuel in once the valve is shut it is too late .
I would advise that you monitor afr at each exhaust port or egt and map the fuel for each cylinder

Might look into putting 4 exhaust temp probes into the manifold for my mini, but with the astra we arent pushing the limits enough for it to be an issue enough to warrant Rob going to the hassle until we have the new engine.
I know what you mean with the injectors though, at 8000rpm its a very small window that you get in order to throw the fuel in!
Thats the good thing about nitrous though, the wet kits sort their own fuelling out and that isnt RPM dependant in any way so is far simpler really.
In fact nitrous cars tend to run rich towards the end of the run as you are probably aware anyway, so for people like rod a leanout is never an issue

leaning off is not an issue if people would follow rods lead and pay to have them live mapped at the speeds it is capeable of after every engine alteration.But most feel it is to expensive to do this so they melt the engine instead moan about it winge at their engine builder that'll be dingy lol and 5 years later learn that live mapping is the way forward .An expensive lesson if you ask me .

Expensive lessons are the only ones people remember.
Have learnt a few things melting heads and pistons many years ago myself!
Ironically with the reputation that nitrous has though, all the cars ive ever had a meltdown on were non nitrous, ive never had any form of engine failure at all on any of my nitrous'd built motors!

nitors kits typically come with oversize fuel jets deliberately the manufacturers understant most people are idiots lol.
We always load a base map that will be rich all the way acroos the board then live map them taking fuel out ,it's the safest way never live map lean and try to richen often by the time you have noticed it is lean and lifted it's to late it's melted or detted.so rich and retarded and add ignition and reduce fuel saves the customers money.

That's the great thing about cosworth's, never underestimate them, you never know how much work they've had done under the bonnet.
Could be anything from knackered engine producing under 200bhp, to a total animal of over 600bhp. You just never know what it could be producing.
First thing do is look through the wheels to see what brakes it's got, Normally a good clue as to how well it's modified.....
Here's mine....
