Carl was talking about that car having over 600 bhp when he\'s finished with it so question is why is it being sold unless it can\'t handle 600 + bhb ?

Guru know their shit.

I can only think its being sold cause its the circuit gearset, not the street/strip set. I think GaryG wants an all out drag car? so the Guru gear set (thats what u buy, not a gearbox) he has isnt right for 1/4 mile thrashing...

[bnaellis]

you guy\'s are too helpful. So you should be all this is all your fault after all. There\'s me a few years ago was nice and happy in a stock car. A few years with you crazy lot and i\'m a mod lunatic:yes

LOL yeah it took some doing though:rollin

thing is to be really quick on a 1/4 mile you need to go back to an auto

Thing is it\'s not being purpose built for drag racing.
A bit of weekend fun would,nt go amiss:D

Hi Brian,
Gary Goodings gearbox has got circuit ratios in it.
He needs a box that is more suited to the drag strip.
Guru do make the ratios for drag racing and they are very well made.I look forward to your project.
Kind regards
Carl

Right gents,

If I want to run up to 25psi 1.7 bar do I prefably want the ecu to control the water injection or does it not matter ?
Is there any system that is preferred? my main concern is if the water injection fails and stops working is there any wya I woul be able to tell befofre engine goes snap crackle pop ? I kn ow egt gauge will tell me but I suspect the egt gauge would probably tell me too late.

Thanks

The decent WI kits have fail-safes that will retard and drop boost I think, also have a warning light on the dash.

Why stop at 25psi mate, go for 40psi and methanol and all that other cool shit

[bnaellis]

I hope I can get to 25psi without popping it\'s a lot of boost for a 13b. I know it\'s risky running that kind of boost and I haven\'t been tuning these things all my life but if we\'re every gonna get up to speed with what the rest of the rotary world is doing we gonna have to take a step of faith. Might lose some money and pop a few seals but i\'m going to give it my best shot. The only reason the U.S, AUS, NEW.Z, JAP etc can run serious high boost 13b rx7\'s is because someone made there mind up to let there car be the potential scapegoat and give it a try. I know there we\'re some that thought/expected I was gonna pop my white single turbo when I went to CPL but knowledge is not just available to the knowledgable but to whoever is willing to learn.
The most difficult part to this project is keeping the thing streetable while being an absolute animal on the track.

get a J&S knock redarder once the waterinjection fails the engine will start to knock for shoure and the J&S will kick in, im not an expert on this just general knollege. this is the link to there web site http://www.jandssafeguard.com/safeguard.html

[bnaellis]

The only problem I envision with this product corretc me if i\'m wrong is that with a  rotary engine have both leading and trailing spark. the j&s knock sensor will retard the leading timing depend on how much it retard (good few degress to be useful) it can cause the trailing to fire first if the split timing is set close which is even worse under boost.

Mate, what do you think Ross, Tim, Geff, Carl etc are doing at the moment? development = time, money and engines... All these things are limited in supply in one way or another to a greater or lesser degree. Its unfortunate that there are lots of clever ****ers who like to gob off when engines blow up when without this happening the UK will be stuck in the rotary dark ages forever.

I dont think any one expected the white car to blow up on the rollers? On the strip may be

As for the knowledge-bit, learning is one thing, experience is another mate - not that i\'m knocking u and your efforts, I applaud any one who has the persuasion to try. Lots of people know (or have an opinion on!) \'perfect\' A/F\'s and ignition and so on; but cars dont blow up cause tuners try and tune to unrealistic parametres, or because they\'re all stupid; its all those little things u dont realise about or consider until you have blow engines up and worked out why.

Again, fairplay to you Bri; I\'m just saying until you do beat an engine you\'ve tuned round the head a few times and blown an engine or 10, you might not necessarily have considered every thing there is to consider

Finally, I think there will be engines running 25psi over here soon enough you know. No, we arent making the HP that the rest of the world is making atm, but its not to say we dont have a clue how to do so...

Any ways, back to the applause: good luck with the project and hopefully it will come together well and encourage more UK rotary interest.

Oh, where will u get your engine (engines!:D) built do you think/know?

[bnaellis]

As sven Goran Erikson said about Ledley King yesterday how does he gain experience if I don\'t play him?
Brian wafflles aimlessly.

[20B_boy]

Ahh, football analagies(sp?)

<<(yoda voice on)>>
Play him once you will - but an experienced international make you will not

Loooking forward to the footie later mate? Cant wait
