mikew Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I finally got the rest of the engine together, and delivered it to the dyno testers, to have it run in and the EFI set up.Its got jenvey throttle bodies on a webber manifold, with omex efi.A couple of pictures follow for those who are interested.

GT6boy Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Looks very nice :). I'm sure that trolley is far more substantial and stable than it looks....(think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT6 M Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Impressive spec Mike, should be over 200, with steel crank,. Farndon !!!there will be so many redundant funtions with that one, its got it all, well done, Marcus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikew Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 Just seen the first dyno run after completion of a running in period. The dyno is showing 210 ft lb torque and slightly over 200 hp at 5000 rpm, but its running out of fueling on the current injectors, so got to get a new set of injectors which will flow more before finishing the dyno runs.I hope to get some print outs later today which I will post latermike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT6 M Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Mike I found this out too, it seems once you get high hp outputs from these engines, the fuel factor, does no match the injectors,even though they seemed big enough,if its actual running out of fuel,then bigger may be needded,but if its the duty cycle over 80%, then , what you can doo, is ..increase the fuel pressure .. 10 PSI..or more , this will bring Duty cycle down about 25 pointsas you may be aware, big injectors, dont perform that well at low revs, but then again, this is a race engine, !!!good figures ,at lowish reves too,Marcus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 You need two sets of injectors - that's the solutions.It's quite common - it also means you get decent low rev performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way there's no remapping to do below the point it was running out of fuel (although we will check again). If you alter the fuel pressure you need to remap everything, and that will cost a lot of time and money.Looking through the injector data tonight it looks like one size up will do, and that shouldn't affect the lower revs too much.mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not the Jenvey throttle bodies will require some work, and I'd rather not do this.mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
