3 months or so back I decided to pull the plug on my resto thread. Very few people knew the real reason for that and only one person on here was told & that's because he pm'd me.


To clear this up an explanation. 13 months ago I suffered a TGA not nice & a lengthy recovery period. I was told a full year to be back to full sharpness & they were right. However its the side effects that caused my problem I started to suffer with bouts of depression & they got worse about 6 months ago. If you have not suffered don't try to understand cos you cant. However the medication has worked & I appear to be free at this time.


I went to Marks today to kick start my build & now have a schedule from Mark to its completion in Feb 2016. I will update on parts purchased & pending as we approach the problems we need to solve. Fuel Pump , Voltage Booster & EGT to can bus module are amongst the choices to be made as is injector choice. I will go into the maths if I don't get shot down too badly.

 

good to hear Rod

i want a passenger ride once its done

 

When your in it you can't see a way out not for want and trying glad your feeling better mate

 

good to hear its back on track, it must help to have something to look forward to and occupy the mind?

 

Good to hear you're on the mend! I look forward to updates.

 

good to hear your keeping it alive.

 

Fair play to ya Rod. And great to hear its back on track.

Regards
Paul

 

Well done. You do what you want when you want to. Goals are good but enjoy the journey and good luck

 

Well done Rod! Crack on with it, can't wait to see it run in anger!

 

Excellent news rod! depression can be a wicked illness, glad it didnt take a hold of you.

Onwards and upwards! Looking forward to your updates. Should make a documentary about it!

 

Nice one Rodney. Glad your health is ok again.

 

Fair play for coming back at all Rod - looking forward to the results

 

Get it done rod will be game changer when it's back

 

Glad you're doing better, best of luck with the remainder of the project!

 

I'm pleased your health is back on track little fella.


Hope all goes well with the build up.


Steve

 

Good to hear ..and glad your better .

 

Didn't know you were ill rod buy glad to hear that you are better

 

Depression affects sooo many people, it is awful, I had an episode in 2008/2009 and it is too hard to describe just how crippling it is and as you say, if you have not been there then you will never understand....have a good read up on mindfulness it is a good long term solution.

 

Health and family come first Rod, sorry hear you have not been well, but glad to hear you are on the up.

Take it steady.

 

I got depression about eight years ago. I didnt believe in it, the wife booked me a doctor appointment and talked me into going. So he askes me whats wrong and I say I think im depressed. He asks why? I say, I keep getting the urge to throw myself off a roof, how long id fall for, what the impact would feel like etc.docs says how often do you get these urges? I say on a daily basis, he asks, what do you do for a living? Roofer I reply! He reached straight for his prescription pad lol

 

Glad you're bringing this thread back rod looking forward to the updates

 

Welcome back. Updates should be brilliant

Philip.

 

I hope the car can provide you with a positive focus and help you stay well

 

That is natural, the human body always wants to jump off the edge....don't know why though.

 

I have this fear also.

Mark

 

Mate, we all have that feeling when we get your invoices! lol

 

Great to know it's all go ahead. Depression is horrific though, wouldn't wish it on anyone.

 

is that what it is? For years I wanted to drive at full speed off of a cliff just to see how far I could go and if I could survive death again
I just thought it was normal

 

Sorry to hear, but glad you've come out the other side of it, with the drive to keep going with the car!
Look forward to seeing more!!

 

Dose your new ecu support can then rod. What are you going to be monitoring on that will it be your engine related sensors

 

Thanks lads but I want to put that behind me now & press on with the car.


These 3 items are required on the new build I will explain why. Ive purchased the Pump but am awaiting Mark to agree the other parts are OK.













Here are the Calcs to show why a Protec p1 is required & my Automotive Eliminator cant cope at my Spec. The aim was to find a single pump to cope.
The criteria is 1000bhp on Methanol @ 4bar of boost we may not push things that far but we wanted a single pump to cope with that.


Here are the cals for Methanol .First you require the Brake specific fuel consumption of the fuel quoted by the manufacturer. Methanol = 1.2 for a comparison pump fuel is .6. This means you will require twice as much Methanol as pump fuel.
To calculate the Flow required in Lb/hr = Bhp x bsfc or 1000 x 1.2 = 1200Lb/hr. Divide by the weight of a gallon of fuel = 1000/7.29 = 165 gall/hr

So we need apump to flow 165 gall/hr @ 3.5bar ( fuel pressure) + 4 bar ( Boost) =109psi.
I found only 2 non mechanical pumps that were still on the flow chart at 109psi. My own Automotive pump rated at a 1000bhp is off the graph at 90psi so useless at these boost levels.

The Protec Veyron P1 is quoted at 119gall/hr @ 110psi at a Voltage of 13.5V.
If you increase Input Voltage the Pump will flow more & we already use a 16v Accuvolt system in the car. At 16v the P1 will pump 149 gall/hr so we are on the right track.
Using a FMS Powermax will increase Volts to 18v & is controlled by the ECU so only adds voltage when required so the pump does not get hot. At this Voltage the P1 cranks out 173galls/hr. The P1 is rated to take 19v input so that’s safe & is the solution.
We also need to monitor EGT at each exhaust port so the EGT module will send the info from 4 'Stinger' probes to the can bus of the ECU.
Im also sending my cam cover to be machined today to accept the cam sensor we are doing this to open up the area for my dry sump .


To the sad trolls that follow my threads like a One Direction groupie you are permitted to use your 'Rod is boring' tags to excess on this thread because to Fuckwits knowledge is boring .

 

Rod, How does the powermax work? Is it like an inverter? And do you run an uprated alternator?.

Paul

 

look rod, all that science and numbers and the like is fine on your rebuilding your car thread, this thread is a get well soon thread and we dont need to learn about cars here

and ive added some tags as you requested

ps, is that fuelling for a built in safety margin or to provide the power needed?

 

That did make me chuckle. Sorry...

 

Dojj.
Its in the Restoration section not the Casualty section . I realise that a large section off here are only here for the beer & technical talk about cars is the last thing they want. However I know from other Forums that true Petrolheads are interested in the facts not the banter. I will change the title so you don't get distressed & will send a PM so you know where to send the flowers & get well card .


Its the fuel required if we try to produce 1000bhp @ 4 bar of Boost. If we do it will nearly max that pump out. To get even more boring tags I will go on to the maths of Injector selection at these extreme boost levels that's even more boring Dojj.

 

We run a 90 amp alternator it can supply all we need. Wont have full beam, Wipers & Screen heaters on whilst running at 215mph . Will explain about the Powermax in another post . Will wait till Mark OK's it.

 

Have worked on the new loom this morning. Have completed the Interior part of the loom that connects to existing Plugs in the car. Will wait until the engine is built to do the bit in the engine bay. The Jenvey inlet, Dry Sump & Cam trigger will be different so wont guess at this stage. Think I will stay with my existing coil set-up as we know it works & allows large plug gaps when used with the CDI.

 

Very nice loom, how long does it take you to make one of them now?

 

So you are getting a bigger pump to supply more fuel to injectors that will be able to flow for 1000 HP
That bit I get
But won't these injectors be too big to run at low revs then? Or an I still stuck in the 90's?

 

the 90's lol modern injectors a modern ecu and the most important bit the best mapper in the business
