I what way is it not a 1.4 then

Re: New car and parts for 2012 (update: results!)
I wasn't saying it's not a 1.4, just said it's not Ordinary. Which is aimed to be a complement because there are none like it!

They're steel, with steel rods and forged pistons, arp bolts, etc etc :)

Re: New car and parts for 2012 (update: results!)
hmmmm! so its just the pushrods that dont know whether they're going up or down!!:)great results for EFI though!!....you'll have to concentrate on the economy now chris!£8 a gallon
-
Re: New car and parts for 2012 (update: results!)
people used to say steel liners wore quickly, have you had any notable wear on your liners or was there a certain make of steel liners that were of poor quality? or badly built engines wrong ring gaps?
-
Re: New car and parts for 2012 (update: results!)
No problems with them wearing tony, but it took some experimentation to find piston rings that would last. Yes, ring gaps are pretty important, they're set to what we thought would be be "about right", no problems to date!
Michael, yes just push rods being a pain but they don't fail all that often and it's a 10 min fix when then do. It would be nice to have something better in there though.
A big thanks to Mike phase 1 16v for sending up some spare rods ready for some more testing on Friday :agree:

Re: New car and parts for 2012 (update: results!)
Good luck for friday :agree: Will it be nos time?

what rings did you go for in the end? and which ones would you avoid in the future?

:agree: very very impressive ! no dramas with the pushrods thats got to be a good sign , amazing to see the gearbox takes that amount of torq ,im guessing aslong as it gets that 1 special time down pod thats all that matters
Well done again on that awesome power figure :agree:

Only 2 pushrods I think there is some more to be had as nos bottle was low my fault thought it was full never mind

Re: New car and parts for 2012 (update: results!)
Lets hope the extra power is worth 0.2 seconds;)
Just keeps on getting better and better, all this and still more to come:smokin:

Re: New car and parts for 2012 (update: results!)
It was a great result, really happy with how well everything is working. Things don't normally go to plan as well as this (I've jinxed it now!!)
Nitrous is doing exactly what we expected it to. There still should be scope for a bit more but it would be good to run it at its current settings for an outing and then think about trying some more for the following event maybe.
Really pleased that his engine is holding together. It should be safer too this year (famous last words ;)) because the extra flow from the new manifold and turbo (I presume this is the reason) have ment that EGT is not as scary as it was last year. Really looking forward to seeing how it goes :)

Re: New car and parts for 2012 (update: results!)
Maybe a silly question but are the results being achieved on regular 99 ron pump fuel? or race fuel?
If pump fuel, could race fuel offer yet more power?
Either way a fantastic achievement as i was only just reading a thread on here from 2009, some rally team guy was saying in his opinion no 1.4 was capable of being able to achieve near to 300bhp....oh how wrong was he :agree: :agree:

great result guys. is this still with a jb3 gearbox?

Re: New car and parts for 2012 (update: results!)
42psi???????????????????? madness. Does that seem to be the flow limit? Or is it still making good gains per psi?
