Hi Guys,
Just got home from another 2 long days on the dyno. Well 1,5 day installing the new cdi ignition, and again solving sh!tloads of issues, including a small fire in the engine when there was an oilspill. Oh well... The result was as you can see quite satisfiyng. Last month we couldnt get beyond 2 bar boost without misfires. M&W CDI attached to it cleared all the spark issues. Now it runs 1 - 0.9 mm gap, and still easily ignites the E85.
Also a note, the e85 now is e77, we measured it, and its winter mix.
So how does it drive? It feels eyewatering stupidly quick! Useually that means it probably is....

yeah, turned out to be two opposite problems:
1. being the 'piston' in the K-Jet was stuck (on all 3 I've tried
) so it overfueled.
2. the tank was rusted inside so it would block the feed to the pump every now and then
Will definately try to make it to Bitburg in may

Thanks guys. I will be in the UK in august as a VIP car on the prescott hillclimb. So people can se the car there in the UK if they want to.
On a side note; it's amazing to see that I've taken great care to built this car and engine, and going past the 600 HP will provoke huge amounts of issues which will test you every step of the way.Comment
