Yep, it really made it all worth while :-) :-)

Impressive to watch your beast trying to climb off the rollers too. Other point of interest was the exhaust blast from Sanjay,s TT, seemed to blow a lot more that I noticed with the other cars, must be the afterburners cutting in.

was a good day, thoroughly enjoyed it, would you believe it, i was winning the whole show at one stage. had nothing to do with the fact i went third at all.
well worth the four/five hours drive, apart from all you guys picking at my dusty engine bay, straight after checking out Scotty's and Gazza's. Bit harsh.

Great, well organised event. bit of a shame not to have more cars, but still fun none the less. I was keen for a few slabs and a barbie at someone's house, but travelling home...barbie...tough choice :P
(i actually live in Cowell, but Whyalla's close enough)

Thanks

Rob perhaps your 124.9 rwkW V8 Beast with Apexi Power Pod would also crack 180 with a BFI and belt off!!

you couldn't find a worse dyno graph??? hahahaha the run before of 148+ is nowhere to be found??

I have had worse runs. I am going to do a comparison with the APEXi pod and the BFI one ofter the other soonish... see which yields a better result on the dyno... doubt I will see much difference, but it will be in the figures. :-)

I was quite happy with my first dyno reading. Wheelspin aside (open wheel diffs should be made illegal) it was a decent run for a basically stock motor (BFI only mod).

The only other possible factor I can think of with my car, was that I pulled the EFI fuse for about 20 minutes (while the engine was hot) before heading out. I then got lucky with about 1/2 dozen red traffic lights and floored it at each one. The first couple had the car feeling quite soggy off the line, but then it improved.

Side note here, my car usually performs off the line better without going full throttle straight off, but I wanted the ECU to understand I was serious.

At the next couple of traffic lights I had the temp sensor mod switched in, and then had some wheel spin off the line. Still full throttle, but it wasn't spinning with the sensor mod out.

At the dyno, I asked the operator to do a run, then hit the sensor mod switch, wait a minute for idle speed to come up then do another run.

Watching the graphs overlay on the monitor, the 2nd and 3rd runs with the switch on were identical to the first, but slightly to the left, which could indicate the power was happening earlier, or it could just be that the operator started the recording earlier perhaps. I am not familiar enough with dyno operation to know what affect what when they do each run.

Kris - Hahahahaha Sorry mate

Yep Kris, BFI for sure then Exhaust,then back on the Dyno at Morpowa. if you want any help with the BFI just ask.

Pen - is that the same temp sensor mod that juzza has done?
and what setting did you have it at?

Gary, it's slightly different to the way Juzza has wired his.

I have 660 ohms or the sensor. Juzza has the sensor plus 150 ohms (or thereabouts).

Juzza's switch is "as well as" mine is "instead of" the sensor. Hope that makes sense :-)

Thanks Gary...
Since im no mechanical expert by any means, i think i may need some assistance with the BFI.

Perhaps we could arrange a BBQ or something...all in the name of "Let's help Kris get some more POWER into his car".

How long does it normally take to get the BFI up and running?

I believe I still have a decent size piece of coreflute around the place I can donate to the project if needed.

Gary can you do an outline of the top of the BFI for me, might save some time and material if I stuff it up. Just a thought is the air box the same setback etc for a V8 and TT ?

That would be appreciated Jeff.
