Just had my boiler taken out and dreamed about putting NOS in it.
Dont think it will fit in my boot though.
Anyone been in a car with NOS, saw it on fifth gear on a Golf but i bet its sooo expensive.




that would be one hell of a nos tank!

Drove the car again, to give dan the data logs he needs to tweek the map.

Areas of work are:

Idle: Cams are causing some issues.
Acceleration enrichment: dipping into and out of throttle needs some work.

Will post up some results soon.. promise..

Yeah cams are always a problem. I drove for a month steadily (not going over 55mph) with my engine light on and now it's gone off and the car is running at its full potential! ...it's a strange one but I guess the ECU had to get used to all the mods!

I will get the graph tonight and will post this up.

The other area we are going to work on is exhaust manifold design. Now everyone thinks the miltek 4-1 is the best manifold on the market and to date it appears to give the best gains.

I believe that a 4-2-1 design is going to give much more torque across the whole rev range without sacrificing top end.

We will see..





Yes it will. The best 4-2-1 branch you can get is the Steve Wyndham Racing branch, believe me.

Heh guys,

Got the car back. It is much better, tip in throttle, rpm hanging and idle issues have been resolved 95%, and now the car is much more drivable at part throttle..

Head line is 205bhp at the fly.

There is a truck load more mapping to do. We are running 13 afr in most of the rpm range, apart from where we come on cam, it is a little lean here around 14.2 afr and this needs to be addressed as the ideal for power on the duratec is 13.8. Also peak power is coming in around 7000rpm.

This means we need to raise the rev limit. Rod bolts being ordered next week, to raise the rpm limit to 7750rpm.

All in all very happy with the initial results, doing what i expected which is nice, have a base point to work from.

I would say maybe another 10-15bhp to come at the max once the mapping is optimised. For the record, the car was run on the base fuel table, base ign table for Dan's car which is minus cams so, less than ideal..

cheers,

rich.

Heh guys,

Did about 4 hours more mapping last night. Full load fueling is now on the button, more work to do around part throttle and cruise. Ignition values have not been touched yet.

The car is gonna be really good when its finished. Really lucky that DRM will allow me to map the car with them and i have free access to there dyno. This product is gonna rock when we have finished the development.

I will post up the graph's when we are finished. Promise.. Just want to get it right first.. So you guys can see the potential.

Cheers,

Rich.

True mapping is the key. I've had mine custom mapped once and it feels like it still needs to be played with...

I hope to see pics and results soon bud!

Any gains in torque?

What inspired you to go ITB's route just out of interest?

Yes there is more torque, I am working with DRM to complete this kit with cams. Then we are moving onto a gas flowed head..

As per my previous post i am waiting to complete the mapping on this. There are some real challanges making this work with cams, we have it working well and fully drivable, mapping for power is next.

Me and the guys from DRM have been working flat out in the evenings working out what all the functions do in the ecu so we understand where to make changes and what these changes do.

As a footnote, i recently ran my car up against my mates 231bhp RX8 and blew it into the weeds. Put 3 car lengths on it in a drag along the motorway..

Trust me these NA cars are going to be quick. proper quick..
