Post #53
Haven't updated this for a while, but mainly because it's going through a lot of design work and we've been milling up new jigs, fixtures and brackets to line the suspension up with.
We've finally got the M5's VANOS working with some beta software and a slightly modified DTA unit, and that's been at the dyno for the last week - mainly playing with the VANOS timing - bolted in an old bare spaceframe with a seat, pedals and a firewall - interesting for the dyno guys...
The good news is the engine is now well run in, no trouble, bar one of the new breathers blowing off - jubilee clip job - and the new sump and scavenge pump arrangement works perfectly on the level, with no oil pressure problems at all.
Anyhow, now she's run in and we know the ECU and VANOS has no apparent bugs, she'll get stripped down just for a check over, the new cams will go in, and I've a few bits to alter just in case we go ahead with the supercharger.
Anyhow, at the minute it's pushing a fairly tasty 594bhp at the crank.
