Fark - injectors only flow 1000cc not 2000cc as on the box.......................

Multimeter going in the bin!!! (or the operator - damn)

Funny thing is that they look like ID2000 and not ID1000. 1.5 days on the dyno down the bin. Owner of shop in the US at the SEMA show - engine being threatened to be taken off dyno (that I waited 1 month to get on) - no other options for high impedance 2000cc to hand.

FARK!!!!!!!

Problem solved.... back on Dyno next week.

Extreme school boy errors here. But here are the results.

1. Injectors outflowed the flowbench.
2. Flow test of the fuel system showed 9 litres a min (3 bar pressure) out of the fuel reg return (pumps on - engine off).
3. Fuel pressure dropping at 6500rpm (28psi on top of 43psi).

Pulled the reg apart to find some small plastic bits stuck in the fuel reg blocking the flow. freaked knows how they got there and am extremely lucky they did not cost me an engine. Thanks to Insight Motorsports for there service in testing and validating that I do have ID2000's.

Just a farken silly bump to let you know still around. Just sent another 200lt of powerplus to John Sidney and going back there next week.

Just spent a week in Port Hedland and found it rather strange. On the Friday went to the Pier Hotel (one of the roughest pubs in Aus with the most stabbings) and was BLOWN away by the amount of crazy hot chicks there!? 150 in pub must have been 30-40 super hots. Super money there dudes - recommend to all the single hard boiled types!

Dyno charts to be scanned tommorrow.

A decent day but a bit short of my expectations. Looking back on my engine spec perhaps some wilder cams. more porting, bigger turbo and a little more compression might have got me closer. I am also sure that the day did not help @ 30degree c and air density 92.7% which had ACT's @ 56 deg.

However I am sure the engine will be a hoot to drive....

Cliffs;

4000 rpm 280FtLb 17.6psi
4200 rpm 371FtLb 25.7psi
4400 rpm 396FtLb 27.1psi

stays flat above 370FtLb till 6400rpm

6800 rpm 345FtLb 33psi

Peak Hp 450 @ 6400rpm

I had trouble with the boost controller and definately needed boost per rpm. I had the boost controller set higher but got surge at 32psi @ 4200rpm. Mapped the engine at heaps on load sites and pretty happy.

Its good to hear its all sorted Lincoln...now for the next milestone...the first drive 450hp should be wild[:p]

Thanks mate - will be ready for SFS. You GOT to come mate - will the cortina be ready?

I have a feeling SFS will be an awesome cosworth turnout with a lot of crazy cars close to being finished.

Not quite mate...probably Feb/March by the time its all done, one month short of 3 years off the road[B)] Im really hoping to be there in 2012[%]

Dyno plots - just realised that I only printed the run which started the load @ 3500 rpm - 250 rpm/sec.

This makes the boost look sluggish - it came in 500rpm sooner on other runs - you can see it went from 0psi @ 3500 to 8.5 psi @ 3600.





AFR2 - 0.84 only the log was 0.82 on the autronic and motec lambda modules.

Have done quite a few hours lately on the car for what feels like little progress. I hate it when some things take MUCH longer than anticipated. I did drink a lot of beer though (maybe that is the problem?)

Thought I would show quite a good way of quick releasing the bumper off. Remove the upper screw and drill though... and the some 50 x 50 box section fits niceley into the chassis rails to hold the bumper.





Also it sucks trying to fit some bigger rubber into the front - no wonder the sierra where undertyred (and the eggenberger crew got disqualified). It is almost imposssible to fit these tyres 240mm wide on to the front.

About 7mm clearance to the spring seat - I am going to turn down the spring platform and change the c spanner to get 5mm off the back face of the wheels.



Cut the poo poo out of the front bumper for turning clearance. Cry original 500 splitter.



Remove most of the metal underneath the arches.



Lininsh the back of the arches to fit.





Drill the spot welds on the front guard and space guard by 30mm. Also cut the crap out of this bracket to clear turning tyre.





Also fitted the oil cooler to the rear of the car - close to where I will mount the dry sump tank. Made a scoop to channel the air (it is designed so it will break off if hit by something and the mouting brackets for the oil cooler will remain).





Also mounted the power steering cooler.

Had a read of your build from the start last night Lincoln finally had some time good stuff there mate love the build
