Cracking ERST

I had a similar issue with a brand new DW350 pump on my Escos, fuel supply was maxed out on mapping, then there was a lot of head scratching etc etc tank in tank out and what not, new filters, then a simple flow test relieved pump was down 1ltr per min, new pump fitted and map tweaked, it was at 590 before final tweak, since then I've fitted a billet comp wheel to the EFR so ideally map needs checking over again

Again stunning build

 

Thanks mate , im just so glad it can go back for mapping properly now

 

Balls out just to see what it will do ? 😁😁😁😁

 

When I fitted the IB5 conversion with the CG motorsport hybrid bearing, the first one Broke on fitting and the second broke up on MSD's rollers after 20 mile ish.. luckily I local lad to MSD had one on the shelf so i managed get it fitted and get it mapped.. fast forward 5130 miles later and I've always wanted to change it , so friday i rang G.E.A.R.S up for them to service my box and fit me another folk and metal bearing set up.. so when I got the box out today the third one even though it's been faultless was still in 2 pieces ... anyhow the box is out and getting dropped off in the morning .. other thing is the std baffles in the rocker cover ain't up to the job because of the roller rockers flicking oil into them and it going through my breather set up.. so that's off to Muz also for some uprated baffles..











And the bearing up on removal .

 

Nah I'm Not a number chaser, well apart from this car had to be 300hp , I've done that already with plenty of scope left.. it's now running super rich with a poor spark table .. so could quite possibly be another 20hp their without anymore boost once mapped 😎

 

A safe spark table at the high boost level because of the lack of fuel flow rich, yes which is far better than leaving it lean, not poor, perfectly safe for you to drive.
Only the top two lines of the load table. The rest is perfect. Had it been able to supply the fuel on the dyno then those lines would be perfect too.
Can't wait to see it optimised to the max now. Anymore and you will need a bigger map sensor.

 

Sorry mate poor choice of word .. safe I mean ..and what's involved in swapping my 3bar for a 4bar map sensor as I have the same map sensor in 4bar on the shelf.

 

I knew exactly what you meant some people take things out of context. If you re thinking of using 2bar and a bit more then it needs to be done when it goes back on the dyno. It will give you a little headroom on the top lines, I like a little spare space hence I run a 4bar, I often see 3.4bar abs. The load scale just gets re-scaled to share the voltage over 4bar pressure instead of 3bar. Your map table has plenty of resolution for it.
Don't just fit it though lol

Is it the same make? same wiring?

 

4 bar map sensor now your talking 😁😁💪💪

 

Yea mate , same wiring ,make .. both identical apart from one 3bar and other 4bar.


Think I might do it mate 😬

 

Go for it pal we only live once 👍👍

 

I've got to applaud you on your work on your car keeping it so clean when your tackling mechanical work. As a mechanic of 23 years I keep stuff clean but could never work as clean as you mate ha ha

 

Totally true on that .👍


thanks mate , I'm just a fussy bugger .😳

 

That's the box dropped off at G.E.A.R.S this morning.

 

Gearbox will be back tomorrow, and I managed to get through my bits and find my 4 bar .. woohoo

 

Brilliant updates mate 4 bar map sensor can only mean rocketship boost incoming

 

Oh yes mate .

 

cant wait to see this next stage of development take shape going be amazing fella

 

What happened to the front anti roll bar and bottom arms you was having made mat? i remember some clearance issues did you get it sorted?

 

Hi mate , yea all sorted and works fine , its here on the garage floor all split up ready to powder coat when they open , then re fit it and dial it in again .. top piece of kit , totally transformed the car tbh more than I expected.

 

Will there ever a kit available for sale or was i one off job for you?

 

No mate , defo be kits on request , its took a while with getting right , so now the lock down is perfect to get it powder coated and back on .

Message MK motorsport if anyone wants one.

 

ok cool. once its powder coated can you post some picture of it?

 

Yea course I can .

 

So I've re set the solid lifters since I was changing the rocker gasket and found 2 slightly out so those got set .. the rocker that's cause a few dramas is the past by chucking oil into the catch can is off for some proper baffles.. no wonder only having one std OE baffle .. drive shafts broken down for refurb and new boots whilst I'm waiting for the release bearing from CG motorsport .. I'm waiting on new pins from MK motorsport for the TCas then they can be powder coated and fitted ready for another geometry set up .. got my 4bar out ready for my next trip to MSD .. also I'm fitting a shift light and EML in the dash nice and discreet .. new sump gasket , filter and oil , build it all back up and then it will be ready for MSD to push it a little harder .

 

Also treated myself to a new stereo..

 

I can remember Andrew@ALD saying he hated Newmans cams lifters because they come loose all the time

 

I set these when i fitted the engine and after 5132 miles two had only opened ever so slightly so I'm happy , I service every 3.5k so I don't mind checking and adjusting them if need be tbh mate.

 

hi matt, not sure if you've said already in the post but who supplied the pec rods and pistons ? I'm looking to get some pistons and rods for my cvh I've got apart.. also what bearings did you use ?

 

Hi mate , Neil @ ND Tuning did me a mega deal on the rods and pistons , bearings are all ACL from Paul @ PJ motorsport.

 

Gave the box a clean up today .

 

Not much progress as I'm still waiting on my release bearing back from C.G motorsport and my TCAs Pins from MK motorsport then I can put the car back together. I decided to change the last of my super pro kit and fit the steering rack bushes and I even got some help from our kid who brought his R8 to see me.. ::

 

Nice updates mate little apprentice is loving it as well.

Such a shame them bits didn't arrive for the weekend pal hopefully they come this week.

 

Aye mate he likes to get on it he does ..

And tea true , hopefully this week .

 

Could possibly be putting it back together this weekend , spoke to mark earlier and says the pins will be sent this week back to me.

Then spoke to Mike At C.G motorsport and same on the bearing.

Fingers crossed .

 

Just had a phone call from Mick at C.G motorsport to say my new designed version of the release bearing will be with me tomorrow.

 

Nice one mate looks really nice.

 

Thanks Mate .

 

New bearing as arrived from Mick @ C.G Motorsport , now had a nice billet inner sleeve ,

 

Not much left to do now and it can go back together.

Pins back from MK motorsport so we powder coat the set up and refit.

oil Feed take off (Hex) drilled and tapped for 1/8NPT

1/8NPT boss welded into the sump, for oil temp switch .

Drive shafts powder coated.

New baffles in rocker cover .

Then a morning putting back together.
