Hi Doug,
do you have the same steps on the MAP side of the scale for the fueling?
My bike has hardly been touched since I met up with you at Total Traction and I need to do a new scale with better steps and give it another go.
Have you been manually editing the numbers or using the live mapping software?
The live mapping software cost me a whole lot of dyno time and I will be sticking to typeing in numbers from now on!

regards

Mark,

Not using the same map scale for fuelling. Is totally different with parts of the map that are controlled by close loop not on it. This gives me more resolution in the other areas.

Have been using the live mapping in conjunction with the datalogging facilities. I am now finding that the best way to get really spot on is by datalogging and adjusting.

How is the bike running?

Any more mods planned?

Was trying to get my old man to buy your V8 sierra the other day. Looks a right laugh.

Cheers,

Doug.

 

When does the engine come on boost?

Alex

 

Fairly early. From memory it starts to make positive pressure at about 2200rpm.

How come?

 

My only plans for my bike are to finish the mapping and ride it when the sun comes out again, I now have a crazy scheme that involves a 3.9 Rover V8 and a XR4x4, the V8 Sierra was a laugh but I really missed the 4WD of my Cossie (I do not miss the weedy little engine though ) a MT75 4 wheel drive V8 Sierra will be my ultimate car IF I can pull it off

I only got Ł800 for the V8 Sierra on Ebay which was a real bargain when you add up the cost of the parts, but thats motoring for ya.

Keep us up to date on your turbo Zetec kit car

I would really like an LS1 and 4wd fixit kit for my 3 door, but i just dont drive it often enough to justify the expense really when im in the middle of a couple of other projects, but 4wd v8 is definately a cool idea in principle.

Making the sump fit is going to be a bitch though i should imagine!

 

Sump is going to be a real problem
The Rover block extends 2.25 inches below the crank centre line and the Ford block splits at the crank centre, meaning I have to machine some material from the block just to clear the front diff. I need to make a MT75 to Rover adaptor plate and a one off flywheel to fit the Rover crank and take the 2.9 V6 ring gear. I am a stuborn git and in the end it will all go together (i hope)

Mark

 

dry sump it

ot anyway...



I only asked as I was looking at your map and compairing the point it came on boost with the point you retard at. I was also looking at the figures at the top where you haven't "gone" so to speak! 2 degrees adv @ 2500 @ full boost cuaght my eye
