MS-75 Regular Location: Adelaide Registered: June 2002	Re: Crown Progress...(1st dyno session update) Mon, 04 July 2005 02:24 Yep-went out yesterday to AIR. The engine was awesome-stacks of grunt-but I couldn't seem to get any traction. The first two runs on the Simexes (225/70/15) were like being on an ice-rink as soon as I shifted to second. It was spinning the whole way through second (I was only giving it about 1/3-1/2 throttle in first to get it out of the hole), and no amount of feathering the gas seemed to help. I then figured the new BFG drag radials should go on-but no joy-they were no better! Initially I figured that I was doing something wrong-ie-tyre perssures etc, but late in the day a couple of blokes came over and mentioned that lots of people were struggling. My guess is that as it's been bloody cold and wet here for the last month that the track had most of the VHT washed off and was also really cold. At one point I saw and Altered Dragster go off in front of me, and he lifted about 5 times as it turned the tyres and jumped left and right for the whole length of the strip. (scary looking stuff indeed). The annoying part is that with the same tyres on as last time I couldn't get within 1.2 secs of the previous best on those tyres. (Best Simex last time-11.37, this time, 12.5 runs were- 12.57@121 (Simex) Nealy collected 330ft timing marker-pedalled to get straight. 12.52@121(Simex) Spun all through 2nd again. 12.25@121.2(BFG) And again. 15.19@63 (BFG) Felt funny so backed off really early. Later found a massive split in one intercooler hose. 12.06@120.7(BFG) Pedalled it 3 times to straighten it up. I/C hose repaired with gaffa tape and zip ties. 12.85@113(BFG) Spun again, and then heard the hose let go again so backed off. Note the MPH is a tad lower than last time (122 last time on the simexes), however last time that MPH was with grip for the whole track-this time it ony had grip for 2 out of 3 gears-so the motor is working well. Wash up is that the engine package is very reliable, that I need to lash out on 2 new silicon 90 degree bends, and that I need a day when there is actually some grip! Overall the day was a screaming success however. I'll go out again in a few weeks to try and get the power down. I have a few videos-they are from a camera, but are reasonable and have sound. Does anyone know how I compress them down from 14 to 4-5 meg. They are .avi. Cheers Sean (I'll put some pics up tonight-I can't access Imageshack from work)) [Report message to a moderator]
