oh and also picking up a couple of turbos next week!

David

 

...and picking up the P1 that the damaged splitter came from by any chance?

you will probably need bigger jets on a physically bigger engine, as the turbo in question (td05 or bigger) will need more oomph to spool up than a turbo on a 1300cc mini

 

Depends on the size of turbo on the mini...
50bhp is a nice round figure, Id go for that first, maybe switching off at around 12psi

 

if 50 bhp is your chosen one
and your getting a jerk due to low power change over, can you not just "up" the cut off point till they equal themselves out (as boost will be building all the time). if your using a shift light thingy to do this then it's only going to be a twist of a ****.
Sounds easy but I bet it ain't

 

The problem with using a higher cut off point is that too much boost + too much nitrous = boom, but theoretically yes this is the way to do it. Vizard explains it as running "corrected" boost levels, i.e. injecting N2O is the equivalent of X psi and at X psi you cut off the gas. It'd be nice if there was a neat little formula to work that out, but I can't find one.

I wouldn't use a shift light to trigger when to cut of the gas, a pressure switch would be better.

 

good thinking bat man

 

which is why i was going to use the map sensor.

David

 

Rather than using the mp sensor (unless you know how to hack into it) ho about using the adjustable pressure switch that ERL use on their water injection kit? I'm sure you can buy these individually (ask the Aigin fellow) and you can just the switching signal to come on where you like...I couldn't find them in the RS catalogue when I last looked, but they must be in there somewhere

 

tim, im fairly sure the map sensor has a 5v supply then as pressure is applied it outputs a voltage proportional to the pressure, then if I use a voltage comparator I can just choose the voltage I want it to swich off at.

Anyway People I have broken my right hand, so project is on hold, and im off to spain on sunday

 

Ouch, nasty...hope it's not a full on break, wasn't a UDI was it per-chance

 

Bu66er how did you do that? Where you going on holiday? Somewher warm of cause! Ya lucky sod.

 

That's gotta hurt. Hope it's not to bad and doesn't spoil your hols.

Steve

 

wasnt a udi, just a di... its the 5th meta something.. of to somewhere in spain, dunno where though, or cant remember...

Steven, fancy a pint sometime this week if the weathers ok?

David

 

Yep good idea. I think weather is supposed to be good today and tomorrow, however i am in a meeting tomorrow lunch time so any other lucnhtime or after work will be fine.

Steven

 

Sorry David could not resist it


Hope the hand gets better soon. It looks painfull.

 

Looks painfull ??????
did I miss a grusome piccy
perhaps you could enter it in.

oh if your squeemish I really suggest you DO NOT go there

 

No i went for a pint at lunch with him yesterday.

 

David, just another of my silly and rare brainwaves, but why not change the radiator so it is not as tall then the i/c pipes can go over the top of this.

Or have you taken this into account by dropping the radiator. I know i have seen the car etc, but there is just too much to remember.

Sorry

Steven

 

just lowered the radiator... Think I can move it up again though... dunno if p1 bumper will fit with it there.. will check.

David

 

page 2?????
Bttt

 

fuzz that site is mad!

 

bttt

 

P20,
Still can't make up my mind wether some are "photo shopped" or not
surly that bloke on the harley can't be alive !!!

EDIT: to say, that should read the bloke that came OFF his harley

[Edited by Fuzz - 8/15/2002 6:13:32 PM]

 

That bloke that came off the Harley, in fact chewed on a blasting cap (what they use to set off dynamite) which went off and blew half his face off. A nurse I know looked at the picture and reckoned it was real and that once cleaned up with a bit of reconstructive surgery wouldn't look so bad

 

well **** me backwards ( not literally please) I thought he was dead for sure..
anyway sorry for jacking the thread.

back on topic now, How's the hand David

 

painfull.. but im off to spain on sat... so try not to turn this into a 'rotten' thread.

 

Any chance of updated pics b4 you go, just to keep us happy for the week.

 

That reminds me !!!
I must book a plane ticket to go and see pops
in Crete
