Hello!

Very nice! I couldn't see any IC. Am I blind or isn't there one installed?

Nice talking to you the other day!

Keep working

Jonas, I skipped the intercooler at this stage. Are working on a chargecooler but i took a shortcut because i want to get the car on the road as soon as possible. Are going to use E85 and that runs a bit cooler than petrol.That`s what i`ve been told anyway?

It is aaaaalive. Sounds mean like hell. M-S and E85 seams to work fine
and it smeels good to.

Hey Mister!

No teasing like that.....more info and pictures.

Remember talking drysump drop of level in the tank?
I have that problem with my car. I can have a separate thread almost on my latest experience these last weeks starting just after your phone call.

I did some fundamental engineering changes to my drysump and it didn´t work.
Had last minute changes to be able to run but still I had moments of too much oil in the engine not evacuating on low revs.
More later when I can draw and post some schematics.

Again...please update us!

Got the car running sa i said earlier. My MS-expert tuned it in so it run ok
at idle and got responsive when hiting the pedal. Drove it a little and the ms and computer went DEAD. Resarted the computer and checked the loggfile and it showed Chargingpeaks at 16,2 volts. I`m no expert but i know that it`s not good. Dont know what`s wrong. Have anyone had this
problem with the 911fan-generator-alternator?

Congratulations!

I didn't hear any roaring engine in the phone though?

Did a little tuning this week but didn`t make it out to the track.
Turned it up to 9 psi and god damn it took of. Pulls like crasy. Had a 2386
t1 with 197 bhp before in my bug but this is something else.Have to make
some braces for the gearbox and support the turbo a little better. Hopefully the weather will be ok next wednesday.

Hi there Frallan. My motor is not as "mucho" as yours, but it`s definetly
promissing for the future. Did a little mapping on hemsögatan this wednesday and it was definetly a wild expirience when the car was looking for traktion when shifting into 3 gear

When we were done
the track was about to close so no racing this week. I will leave it at 9psi for now, And learn how to drive on a prparated track before cranking up the boost any furder. By the way, no problem with the drysump what so ever but almost with everything else. Was about to give up it all last week.
Be cool and drive safe..............e.......not

Did my first run on on a dragstrip ever. Damn that was fun

No World record times but still fun.

Well, let me be first to congratulate you that achievement!
I know the feeling. You and me have been questioned over some years and it does it feel good finally get it out there and drive.
No need for world records......not to begin with

Time again on Wednesday?
If yes, I will log in to SRIF and watch you on the web camera all the way from this side of the world. That is what I call VIP guest, just for your sake.
