Update 10 - Engine set-up


So today dad took the car upto Northampton Motorsport to get the Omex ECU and carbs set-up.

First off - strapping the car onto the rolling road.



Next getting the fans set-up, sorting out the jets and loading up a stock zetec timing map. Would it start first time???

Well it started, it was on the rolling road for ages getting run in and set-up. We learned a few things eg, the rubber bushes on the alternator gave up due to the heat, we had some ali ones machined whilst we were there. The ECU won't talk to the dash system quite the way we wanted and the sample rate on the dash system is currently set too high.. so the numbers change too quickly.. though I can program that out easily.





The pipes blued nicely, the manifolds near the cylinderhead were glowing at one point. They look great!!





So it looks like I have some electrics to sort out, wiring the RPM sensor into the DL1 to get it integrated into the dash system. Also tune down the sampling frequency of the Oil pressure and temp sensors.

Net result is:

230bhp @ 8000 rpm
165lbft from 3000-7000
