General The beast lives

Close.

The first question was 'why?'

So I started to explain the mods to the engine.

The reply " Aye thats all very well, but that only means a bigger WHY'

'OK' said I, 'its a car for motorsport'.

Silence and a raised eyebrow.

Good work Dave! OMEX is next for me, but not with injection...

I'll catch up with you to chat through the installation at some point.

So, Thursday morning, as in yesterday, I went off to the RR with a Cinq in tow. Man came out to meet me, and said.

'Come on out and have your laugh', but.... as he approached the car he said 'Nice looking wee car'.

I thought, progress.

I unloaded the car and had a brief chat about the Mundano with TBs that was already on the rollers.

He explained to me that the Mundano was not supposed to be there, it was an OMEX equipped car. but none of the sensors were wired up correctly!! It should have been finished on the Wednesday.

I explained that I wasn't that bothered about timing, but he assured me he would phone me later in the day.

On the way home I popped in to see what was doing and the bloody Mundano was still on the rollers.

I overheard the conversation about needing the head lifted and a new exhaust and though, oops, thats been a bad day then.

Needless to say mine hadn't been touched, but I again expressed the view that next week would be fine for mine and not to rush it.

Still no call today either, so I might pop in on the way home tonight, if I get away from work on time.

Cheers

Nah hes straight to the point. Doesnt like small talk, so i felt uncomfortable!!

So thats the car been at the rolling road for nearly a week. Result so far. 14bhp. Yup, you read right, a whole 14 bhp.

There is a problem, yes. Its to do with one of two things, or possibly two of two things.

The fuel stops at 14bhp. The injector will flow enough for 110bhp, but the OMEX is not driving it correctly. This is either/and the resistance of the injector is too low for the system and will need an inline resistor (£2.99 from ebay, but I'll be looking for more than 10bhp extra, lol), the OMEX is looking for the other injectors on an MPi set up.

The plot thickens, and the meter at the RR is ticking, ouch!!

You should be able to get the resistor at any local electronics store. Got a Maplin's up north?

It will be easy to check the injector resistance, see if its high or low, and see what the omex takes.

Could even turn out to be a dud injector! Is it new? Whats it from?

I was only joking about these ebay resistors that promise 10bhp from any engine, I'll get one locally for 10p.

The injector is a Cinq one that was working on the previous management, so I don't think its duff. I've got plenty spares anyway.

[randomizered]

Ah lol, went right over my head

yeah, the cinq one is low impedance as far as I know, so its def the resistor problem.

Not tempted to put a higher imedance, higher flowing injector in?

Kristian

 

[Liam]

Aw naw, aw show and no go!

I thought JC on TG was bad when he got 80ponies on the Maser!

Know I now why you said you were wary of wiring it up, hopefully an easy fix though.

Liam

 

[allanhelen]

Just wondering what had happened to your car D.

14bhp i've got an old lawnmower engine sitting around if you want to do a transplant for a bit more get up and go

hope you get it sorted soon

 

[rallycinq]

Still being worked on. We think the ECU is loking for another three injectors so it may need a 'tweek' to run a single one. The injector will run to 100bhp, and the fuel pressure is OK too.

The guys know there is an event on Sunday and they are working to that, so hopefully won't be long till I can go and play.

Cheers

[rallycinq]

Just a quick update, as still things are not working as they should, the starter motor is the latest failure.

Work is continuing.

Cheers

[Liam]

Your up against it!

Jings, crivens, help ma boab, where has the last month gone!!

The car now runs, but I have a wee dilemma.

The power is now heading for the high 50s at the wheels, but its needing a lot of revs to get there.

Peak power can be acheived at 7400 rpm, do I risk this level on a regular basis, or do I stick with a lower limit, say 7K, and make do with the loss of absolute power?

Cheers
