johnny boy 159 Posted August 20, 2020 I've got the car booked in on the dyno in couple of weeks, for the carb fueling and ignition mapping. hoping for 150ish bhp, but wait and see. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnny boy 159 Posted September 15, 2020 (edited) I've had the car on the dyno, it made 136bhp straight out of the box. After some jetting and timing changes it made 139bhp. I found out when I got home that I was in a 3d ign map , when I was adjusting the timing mapping. this meant that at flat out the timing was up to 14 degrees retarded at some points. My fault, I was in charge of Mapping, I'm well .ed off. Got to go back for another run now , and map the timing properly. Might make 145 bhp. Watch this space.

tonyg64 7 Posted September 16, 2020 Looks a nice curve plenty of grunt for a little motor really. Can you find an mx5 timing table and drop that in? Knock control may affect stuff on the std car I guess Tony Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Knock control may affect stuff on the std car I guess Tony Yes, it runs ok on the original base map, But it needs to be adjusted for the best power at flat out. Then with the 3d map it can be advanced up on light throttle openings to stop the overrun poping and banging, keep the emmisions down, improve the mpg. But that can be done after the Dyno flat out power pull.😜 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

johnny boy 159 Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) Next job before re Dyno. Change the 4 into 1 manifold for a 4 into 2 into 1 🙄 Edited October 14, 2020 by johnny boy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnny boy 159 Posted October 14, 2020 The new one requires some floor manipulation 🙄 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tonyg64 7 Posted October 14, 2020 Adding a lambda boss to that Johnny? Where did you buy that from? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnny boy 159 Posted October 14, 2020 I won't need the lambda boss on the new one , and I have had to cut it off anyway , as it touches the floor 🙄. It's a German nicely made manifold . I L Motorsport. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
