RR Disappointment at Awesome.

RR at Awesome.

I'd logged the car after fitting a larger WMI nozzle (235cc/min - should be correct for my power) and advanced the timing by 10.5 degrees. All good.

However, on the way down, I got a couple of misfires at full power. Vag-Com showed a multiple misfire code.

The first two runs on the rollers showed something was amiss - the car sounded like it was missing - so I pulled it. Again - multiple missfire code. I was going to change the nozzle back to the original 175cc one - but I found that I'd brought the wrong accessories box. :rolleyes: I knocked the timing back to 8.25 degrees and the car was run again later. The only difference was the later two runs gave less power. No fault codes though.

Here's my previous Awesome graph:

I'll post the pre RR logs later - they don't show anything.

I took the timing back to 0 for the drive home and disconnected the wmi. No signs of problems or fault codes from the 110m thrash.

Too much methanol?

Is it possible it was just freaking out on the rollers due to high ambient temps / not enough cooling?

The water methanol does the cooling biz on the rollers ( big advantage over other cars really), Mark.

At the Northallerton RR day, the guy did 5 or 6 runs in fairly quick succession and the car was virtually the same every time. (As Wilko says, transmission losses lessen due to gearbox oil heatiing....)

Regapped plugs? Weird timing tho isnt it?

:yes:

Awesome had trouble with the speed sensors for the dyno on several cars (not mine) due to static. This would be because of the high humidity. 40% at nearly 30 degrees. This can obviously cause shorting. I'm just wondering if its enough to cause a sensor short - or that the additional moisture in the air on top of my methanol mix was just too much..... :shrug:

Still need to log it with less methanol to see what's what.

Its a worry dave as im running a 175cc and you have alot more power. I remember John saying WMI should be 15% of the fuel thats injected. Have you worked out what this figure is for you Dave? I worked mine out to be needing a 210 CC nozzel.

Isnt your airflow very low?:confused:
