Popular Post Testament Posted June 30, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 30, 2015 so this happened again so found a new "high performance" one to go inalso it looked like the trans to hanger bearing angle was a bit off and probably not helping (not sure why when the engine is sitting slightly lower? as that should put it off the other way) so put in a new trans mount (old one was oil soaked and soft) and still looked off so cut and it shut it to add 10mm which also gets the back of the head some firewall clearance rather than the bees dick that it had.also got some new shoes225/50/14 R888s mostly because they were the only cert legal tyre I could find to fit a 14x8 that was not a giant balloon/too tall 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Testament Posted August 16, 2015 Author Share Posted August 16, 2015 have done a few things on this in the last while.  killed myself replacing that donut, changing engine mounts, new brake lines, making driveshaft hoops and making welded on (instead of U bolt to diff) swaybar mounts in a overfull garage during the coldest week of the year     Then about a week ago pushed it outside for more room and put it on stands to fix some issues with fitting the new tyres as i had to remove the factory wheel spacers and then some of the bolts were bottoming out so needed to figure out what was stopping what etc.  then while it was up I thought I better waterblast all that mud from the dirt track at nats off finally   but I found some greeblies I knew had been hiding for some time so ended up getting carried away as per usual       6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Testament Posted September 6, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 6, 2017 quick update re did a bunch of things no one would notice and installed a water injection and still didn't make a proper tune  returned this to nats  did some nats nanging/banging/popping/farting   bunged the exhaust on the way back form nats then fixed it betterer    Had a brainwave during/on way back from nats as to cause of terrible misfires above 4000rpm, general shit running,  and smell of excessive unburnt fuel out the exhaust this being that the excessively large (1000cc) injectors can inject the full amount of fuel in a very short period - such that the period of intake/exhaust valve overlap is quite a significant amount of that injection event even at 7000rpm, full load, let alone at lower rpm and lower loads. basically if the fuel gets injected at the wrong time a heap of it fucks off straight into the exhaust. so did some more research into this and found some some stuff like this  then drew up my own version with numbers for the actual cam timing in my engine. changed my injector pairing and injection timing such that half the fuel for each cylinder is injected prior to intake valve opening and the other half is injected after exhaust valve closing but still while the intake valve is open. presto no more misfire over 4000rpm and things running much better. still need to tune more now, but everything is now finally making sense so its a lot more straightforward than trying to do so while going round in circles trying to figure out strange misfires, pops and bangs.     20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
