Hi Phil!

Thanks very much for posting up the pics.  some very nice figures there!

Do you know what the "Torque" graph is all about?  it is saying 1300ft lb - but that can\'t be.  There is also a "Flywheel Torque" graph which makes more sense.

I\'d be interested to know what the "Torque" graph is all about.

Torq to 1300? - need to ask Abbey what that is all about...

imo - Abbey were good, the guy worked with Geff reasonably well.  The Dynapack system is a direct hub system takes about 3/4 hour to setup & away you go.  The twin fans in the enclosed room kept temps real low, fridge like.

I found you realistically need 1 day to get a map going from scratch.  A good break to sit down, collate all the data, ensure you are still on track and check street running. Then another full day for completing to WOT and get the IGN adjustments.

We\'ll be going back soon, but we need to get the Water Injection sorted, an Electric Water Pump installed, remove the AC and possibly sort the OMP properly..

Regards
Phil

Forgot to mention,  I am now being sponsored by RE:Worx in Portsmouth, UK.  I am very glad they are sole tuners of my car, since I have met them they have consistently done the business, worked beyond the call of duty and have not charged me an arm & a leg -  just the odd finger

Soon as possible, we\'ll get to Santa Pod - I\'m looking forward to ripping some tarmac & seeing what she can do 1/4 wise..

Phil, do you know what Abbey charge for a day on the setup?

Thanks Phil, no problems - whenever you get a chance.  Thanks for the Dyno information also, much appreciated.

Great stuff with the sponsorship - that should work nicely for yourself and Geff.

Hi all,

I have been using the Quarter Jr program and have calculated some ET\'s and MPH.  See here:

[philipgrx7]

Glen, good program - would be chuffed to bits posting 11.07s, Want to do a run @ Pod at end of June or mid July latest (if car ok).

Think it\'ll be kind of a roller coaster ride keeping 500+HP ultra reliable - RE:Worx working very hard on that though, some trick stuff going on. Building 2nd race engine for quick swap if power ever gets weak - allows Geff to investigate what is going a wry before say, an Apex seal explodes and takes all the evidence with it.  Smart thinking that, so yes will help us both well, and thus will benefit our rotary community in the UK!

Cheers
Phil

Abbey charged me £80p/hour (usually £100ph) - ended up approx. £550+vat for the day.  Not cheap but tuning really was from ground up so I think it was reasonable under those circumstances.

Cheers
Phil

Lovely car mate, and big respect for running that kind of power with a rotary, I wouldnt have the stomach (or the wallet) to risk it so good on you. Are you taking it to TOTB2 by any chance?

Anthony

[philipgrx7]

Thanks Anthony - I\'ll be at ToTBII, all being well it should be running very sweet by then.
