Thanks Robert,I did notice the gap was a bit wide,so it could be that.

'Where does the engine go?'

I had thebsame issue when the shield on the pickup sensor wasnt earthed at both ends. The issue then went away.

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
VEMS + 12 PSI + Liquid Intercooler = Small Bore FUN!

Thanks Graham,I'll check that also.

'Where does the engine go?'

Quick update.After many problems with fuel blockages in the carb.I changed all the fuel lines to unleaded compatible flexis,added a filter just before the carb and now have all fingers crossed.Also replaced the 276 cam with a Piper ph2,advanced 3 deg and seem to have recovered peak torque at 4000 rpm.The clutch cried enough and was replaced with an Escort Mexico cover which is much stronger.Finally got back to Shakey this weekend and began to get the car to hook up.Recorded a best of 13.7/100 still with 2.0 sec 60 ft.All this without the Nitrous.Met Neil(sideways GTM) there,running around 11 secs all day (jeez!) and he gave me some good advice on burnouts.Also supercharged outlaws there,plus a guy with a Honda Vtec plus Nitrous in an oversized kart.Was next up on one run and I swear if the lane had been any narrower he would have hit the barrier on both sides.

Looking really good and the times are too !!

Hi David,met a guy called Chris Patisson(?) there who says he knows you......

'Where does the engine go?'

To my shame, there seem to be a lot more people know me than I know - I have a forgettory, not a memory.

This guy is running an altered with the supercharged outlaws.

Went to the hot rod drags at avon this weekend - stunning array of machinery from 200k cheque book jobs to fantastic home builds to rat rods like the jag engined rover from norfolk that was in a recent ppc mag.Anyway turned the gas on this time (25bhp shot) and still got crap 60 fts despite doing rolling burnouts almost to the staging line.Finally managed 13.007/106.5,so if I ever get it to launch properly a 12 is on.

'Where does the engine go?'

Sounds like you are realy getting to grips with this now Steve.

Wish I had been there to see it !.

Hi David,you missed a great meeting - lots of Moggies and A40s but no A35s!

'Where does the engine go?'

Thanks Rob,just need to overcome the curse of the 2 sec 60 ft's!

'Where does the engine go?'

Went back to Shakey yesterday,loaded 25kg of ballast into the tail and whoopee 12.975/106.2.Oh,the 60ft was 1.9.

Fantastic result, looks like heavy is the new light :)

Have you got the type 9 box fitted yet or are you still running the stock one?

most gratifying ,well done that man .

Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM

Great result!

Thanks guys I am well chuffed.Yes Rob,I'm running the type 9,it's s/c with first around 2.5:1 and rear end 4.1,so I,m over-revving in 4th at the end,about 6800 r/min

'Where does the engine go?'

Nice Job Steve. Hopefully I will be there soon, with a turbo Midget.

Where did you get your GT17 flanges? I still need to deal with that part of the setup. I like the look of you turbo flange and elbow wrapping under. Did you have that done or make it yourself.

Hi,I had a loose ring made up which the pipe fitted through,then drilled it to take the studs on the turbine outlet,finally I had the end of the elbow flared so the ring clamps this to the turbine.Jetex is the source of the U bend - 2 short 90 bends welded together,in mild steel,the rest is s/s all from Jetex

proper fast! congratulations

internationally known as "big" swede

Seems a long time since I updated this.Having put some proper Mickey Thompson drag slicks on,I managed 12.8/104 but with the car weaving around a lot,because I had them on too narrow rims.Now fitted to 7'' Wolfies and looking better.Also re-jetted the NOS and went to the RR today.Pulled 200 bhp at the flywheel,then switched the gas on and was amazed to see 260 bhp.Can't wait for the Hot Rod Drags..........

Frigging awesome!
