bugger eh.

 

I was just reading above about the water/meth injection.

 

we ran water injection on a mates old rotary turbo, i don't believe we made any major changes to the fuel map. it was more of a prevention against knocking (and thus allowed a few extra degrees of ignition advance). we used a spare digital output on the ecu (megasquirt at the time) and triggered it on boost pressure and TPS i think. Water only, never any methanol. My mate came up with an injenious solution of pressurising the water storage container with the turbo, just a line from turbo with a 1 way valve. no need for an electric pump. We injected it pre turbo, straight into the turbo fins after air filter. technically this should erode the turbo fins, but after a few months we didn't notice any major damage.

 

He didnt have the system running too long though, by then he had gone e85.

yeah. great to hear from people who have messed with it.

I'm thinking though i may have room under the bonnet for the intercooler plate. If thats the case then i'll go that route over the water/meth.

With the cooler plate i'll be able to design one of those 'Interchillers" which uses the cars airconditioning to near freeze the water.

 

All in all i'm unsure what way i'm going to go. I know the next step is going to be an aftermarket ECU and tune. See where that gets me.

Then i'm definitely gonna play with nitrous.. whether thats pre blower of after blower install i don't know.

If you are tech savy an aftermarket ecu opens up sooo many options.

 

I'm playing with an old haltech E8 at the moment which must be 10yrs old now, but the amount of options are insane. all kinds of crazy things you can do with analogue and digital outputs.

i understand fundamentals but i have a mate who is very very tech savvy and has done numerous courses on tuning vehicles.

He'll help me out with the setups. The wolf v550 does have alot of features.

Hi mate, I'm loving this thread. What diff are you running in this?, I saw your first few pages of the thread with the brake upgrades, but you only said late ms85 hub/spindle, so your just using the later ms85 f series? Unfortunately I didn't get one of the later model ms85's that come with rear disc brakes. I'm considering upgrading my diff, I've herd a ms112 rear diff can be installed with minimal fuss. I don't suppose you know what year ms85's had the rear disc brakes? mine is a early/mid 1978 model.

 

btw fully jealous of your setup, looks awesome now you fixed your transmission issues.

My diff is Hilux with the MA70 supra disc conversion.

Front is late model ms85 stubs with BA falcon rotors and R33 4 piston calipers.

if your front brakes are vented front then u can do the front upgrade

ok thanks for the response, those rn25-40 g series diffs are getting hard to come by.

nah mine was LN104 from memory. and it was still slightly narrower than original.

So progress is super slow. money being main problem.

But it has been to have its brake fade and lane change test done. Passed with flying colours and i didnt have to change a thing for that.

 

One of the defects was a small chip in the windscreen. just had that fixed. (love having insurance)

 

much nicer screen. black border. and a much better fit. This one comes from NAG where as the other one came from PGI who is no longer trading.

 

old screen

 

chip in question

 

new one.

 

gaping hole

 

new one in. love it.

It really makes a big difference to how you feel about the car if what you look at from the drivers seat is in good order. :2thumbs:

The screen in it was brand new as well. Got damaged 2 weeks after being on the road. Was devasted.
