How Much seat preassure did you have , and what are you aiming for now


the build before last didn't have enough seat pressure and there was evidence of valve bounce on the cam, so I got some new springs (aea526) and used them with MK1 valves on a MK2 head - turns out I would've had north of 120psi... now I have spot on the spec of 83 (which is what it should be at 1.35")

I've taken it off for now - and given the car did 48 motorkhanas today, I'm glad I did... it didn't miss a beat, there's no way it would've handled that with the blower on it.

It was great fun to drive with the blower, but no fun to own, aside from being illegal without an engineers certificate - too temperamental, too unreliable, too much mucking around to get it to run right, too much time spent on it that would be better spent on other things (like trying to do my Honda conversion). Maybe one day I'll build a 2 piece manifold that'll let me run an intercooler and inject on the hot side direct into the ports, but not for a while. All the gear is in a box in the shed now.

I've put a single HIF44 on it, and kept the megasquirt running the LS1 coils. I still have the 3.1 diff in it, which makes it very lazy to drive, so I'll put the 3.44 back in before Hay

All the work I put into trying to get it to run nicely with the blower & injection has made it the sweetest thing to drive with a carb, it just runs beautifully...

I hear ya.

Only now (after 4-5yrs of off and on tinkering) am i happy with mine but it is still not as easy to drive as my neighbour's Mk2 1275 with twin 1 & 1/2 SU's.
The Mikuni is very good and a good bump up in power but driving style has to be altered.
No need for this type of compromise with NA. It was fun watching you tinker though so all is not lost.
Draw through in all it's simplicity can be a complicated bitch.

No SC will make much easier for the ladies to drive.
I'm doing something similar in that I have taken the silly cam out and put a sensible one in so Aiden can drive it comfortably.

Cheers
Aaron

He is! Cams are taking there sweet time about sending out his licence though, so it's holding things up a bit. Hoping to get him through two Motorkhanas before Hay, One being a State round!
