That now reads 111 HC CO Reading was 10.6% - Found that sue to a Lambda Sensor not working!!!!!! Replaced and now reads 0.4% Hows that for an environmentally friendly car. And it's decatted!!!!

Blue_Joe 0 Posted September 5, 2006 Well got in about 1am last night after taking a drive from Brum, up the M6 - stopped at Stoke to pick up 25ltrs of Methanol and 25ltrs of Demineralised water from Chris. Then carried on up to Manchester, onto the M62 and across the Pennines to Leeds then down the M1 home!!! That totals up to 420 miles so far. Tomorrow night I'm off to London and back!!! Still got work in the day which is a bummer but one more night after that and I'm then off to Chipwizards!! Just a bugger that I got home went to open the bonnet just to check it over and the bloody bonnet release cable snapped!!! Anyone know where I can get a new one that will be in stock???????????

Henny 0 Posted September 6, 2006 how's that chip holding up? Is it still reasonable on the fuelling, or is it lean or rich throughout the rev range? sounding like this one may be a good engine anyway... just wait until you hit over 10,000 miles and look at the grin on your face then! ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blue_Joe 0 Posted September 7, 2006 OMG!!!! I Giggled ALL the way home!!! Unfortunatly due to not being able to get the car on boost, I have never been able to test the Aquamist Meth Inj System and for some reason the pump wasn't working! So it had to be mapped without the Methanol Injection! So we didn't achieve quite as high a figure as we hoped................................. However.................................... Wayne at Chipwizards mapped it for the torque as opposed to the high bhp. We achieved: 245bhp But the Torque figure is IMMENSE! 246lbft of Torque. All I can say is :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: The car is like a ROCKET!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It just takes off all the way through the Rev range and just KEEPS pulling. On the way home I took it on a "private road" and I lost my bottle at 125 as I was still accelarating hard and cars in front were rapidly getting closer. And the delivery is sooooooooooo smooth. But it is a MONSTER!!! I can't get over the sheer accelaration difference. ...............................And the Methanol Inj is yet to be brought into the equasion Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
