Excellent stuff, cant wait to see the outcome

 

[Tony Hunter]

Thanks guys. Pictures if he remembers.

And for result, well as long as it makes what it should, it will be better than before.

So this is what happens when you contaminate the fuel by mapping WAY too rich, then rev to almost 8k for 2 seasons of racing. Bearing coatings have been smashed to pieces! Thrust face of the crank was also eaten up, but didn't get a picture as I threw it in the skip outside the machinists in disgust.

detonation pin marks on every piston so they're scrap, all the bores were shiny (bore washed by running rich)


Start again......

 

[Mr R.]

Was that the engine you built Danny?


You didn't map it then I guess?

 

[Dan519]

yes it is

No I didn't. I had a look at it mid season last year for Tony as he said it was getting slower, then found the over fueling. Leaned it off 30% or more in places but the damage was done by then

 

[Djw John]

TDF?

 

[Dan519]

uh huh

 

[JP83]

Fecking Nora!!!

Btw, the change of username threw me off dan!

yeah, wasn't me. Funny how others havn't had to change names when not being paid traders.......

 

[Djw John]

uh huh

You could knock me over with a feather

 

[Meek_racing]

It's a real shame to see so many engines/engine parts scrapped due to this one company. What are the plans next? Same as before or something a bit more special?

 

[Dan519]

Nothing silly. Few tweeks

 

[Tony Hunter]

Nothing silly. Few tweeks

Bearings without bit's missing for a start.

I would like to thank Dan for his patience with all this poo, he built a very good engine at the start, so he can do it again, but this time he'll be mapping it .

One more race would have seen it off.

 

[sonny172cup]

Bloody hell, shocking really what a bad map can do, just goes to show.

At least you now know what the problem is Tony, and yea one more race and it could have ended in tears...

Hopefully will be getting my chariot up to Dan soon

Not until mines done I hope.

 

[Dan519]

That's the fueling before

 

[welshname]

That's horrific! You expect a very highly boosted engine at around 8-9 on full chat don't you? Not an NA engine!

No not really, beyond about 11:1 you're not gaining anything from cooling on even a huge boost turbo 11.8:1 is average target AFR for WOT on boost. Go too rich and you actually encouraged knock. Should be between 12.5 and 13.2:1 on WOT. Below 4k there's no need to go richer than 13.6:1 really.

1 AFR point is approximately 15% so you can see how far out it was

I've been looking into the ECU software, and every setting in the original map, I've not found a compensation table that isn't wrong yet. Its just all crap

 

[Tony Hunter]

Just been on the Powerflex site looking at bushes. Am I missing something, found bushes, but not anywhere to 'go to' buy them.

Am I going blind?

[Cub.]

Not going blind, unless I am aswell!

I think it's because you have to buy from a distributor? There is a page showing them here;

Or give them a buzz, the old school way;

[sbridgey]

Buy them off ebay, usually cheaper anyway.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Found them on the Bay, rang Euro in Banbury, and they will do them for £85.48 for 4 (inc vat). So ordered, be here Friday.

Something's gone right today.

Anybody want to buy a Trackday at Oulton on the 28th feb (fri) with garage?

 

[Toastfrenzy]

£1 for a quick sale?

 

[Tony Hunter]

Stick 2x 00's on the end.

After reading that it's even scarier how far out it was. I've probably missed it but was this engine ran for a full season? I'm seriously surprised it last that long if it did.

I'll take the garage, or half of it, if that helps at all. Will give a couple of mates a shout for the track day too...

Thanks Adam, just waiting for a reply to see if it's transferable.
