Rich It's going nowhere haha.
.

My moment of madness passed when I almost sold the car/swapped it for something else.
When it came
Down to it I couldn't bring myself to do it in the end.
.
.
That's when I realised I should get finishing what I've started.
Ashley it didn't really need it tbh.
.
I'm just a bit of a pernickety Buggar at times and it wasn't quite where I wanted it.
.
.
Don't get me wrong, It was very fast last time it got mapped but after looking at the figures on the laptop Simon and I could see that there was a good bit more in it.
So last weekend I dropped the car off to Simon so he could take it down to Adrian at Fensport and both of them work together on it.
Simon and Adrian spent Thursday tweaking the cam timing to find the absolute optimum point and then adjusted the map accordingly.
Doing this on the road is quite a slow process as it means:
Adjust
Try
Adjust
Try
Ooooops gone too far
Go back again
Try
Perfect
In the real world every engine as you know is different.
My cams Had been base set to the hks settings which turned out in my case to be good but not perfect so that's the main reason it was away.
The ignition gains made are massive on it, so it has been a well worthwhile effort.
I have better ignition figures now on V power than I did previously on race fuel
Also, Before it went down, I had been having boost issues and wasn't able to get up to 2-2.1bar and was only managing 1.6ish.
.
.that turned out to be the boost control valve I had in place causing the problem.
It just wasn't coping.
It had done last year so I'm guessing it just gave up on life this year haha.
So that was changed out for a different style whilst it was down there.
Unfortunately I have now maxed out the 1200cc injectors and fuel system.
.
.
.
So for next summer when building into the tin top shell I'll be putting in an large external fuel pump system and swirl pot.
I'm going to draw Up a fuel-rail pretty soon and look at getting it made to suit what I'll need.
Haha yeah Calum it definitely looks like it has turned up another level from being away this week.
I'm gutted I won't be trying it until next week or maybe if I'm lucky I'll go get it on my birthday
(Friday)

A little present to myself haha!
