Its punchy, but as we found today there is little timing etc. So got a good hour of logs, will have a look amd adjust from there. Eboost will also get tweaked with gate pressure etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Car is pushing 22 pound strong on PULP, tweaking the eboost has really brought the car alive. Still really haven't added any timing so there is still more in it. Was quite entertaining listening to the car building boost on cruise control going up Toodyay road. Gotta fix a couple of fuel delivery hiccups, then its off to get some dyno time for the E85 tune, then RaceWars. Current position of car, will be completed over the weekend. Was good as also fixed the leaking diff axle seals and the shagged centre bearing. Couple of little things to do now, the boss has been pretty understanding with this all and is giving me some leeway to get the car ready. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Sat morning first of the RW Scruitineering days was upon us. Was a nice way to kick of the day, Ralphy had been putting in big hours to be ready for the wkend. It was the first time that both our cars were actually out on their own steam together. So after a bit of a cluster in regards to how the inspections were done, car rolled through. After an initial knock back due to a coil over spring misalignment, the day finished like this Feeling pretty I <3 Bananasen chuffed with how it all went, I took it easy not he way home coz race car and all. Murphy's law decided to hit, it seems like its just one thing after another at the moment. So currently shed looks like this, 2 wks to dyno and 3 wks to RaceWars My wife is going to hate me!!!!!!!!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
