Wouldnt it be better after the blower as its the blower that heats the charge up?
I would of thought it would have a better cooling effect to squirt water into hot charge than into a cold charge??

By "fogger" I was refering to a nitrous nozzle. Kinda of facetiously.

hey guy's just a few A15 question's while on the topic, what do A15 stock redline at mine's reving to about 6500rpm. and finally i have SU carby's on my are webber carby's better and will i get better performance with webbers. any help willl be great!
cheers

You can make more power with weber's or dellorto's.
Su's are good carbs, but they aren't as performace oriented. 6500rpm is about what to expect with a cam and uprated valvesprings.

cheers

A-15's do their best work down low, even before you start forcing boost into them. Before the blower, mine had more torque at 2500 rpm than it did at 5500. it revved cleanly to 7k but there was no point.

Rebuilt my dizzy yesterday, the mechanical advance was sticky as & would jump from 0 to 5-10 deg of advance (a big part of my low speed detonation problems methinks)

While I was in there I lightened the weights for a more progressive advance profile. Seems like it may have been a bad move, the engine has lost a lot of top end (possibly no longer getting full advance???) Will have to do a bit more testing and find out what's going on.

Hey Piko- next meeting might be a good time to sort out some bulk shipping for these manifold flanges were you on the list?

not on the list at this stage but i do need 2 exhaust and 1 inlet and could get more. depends on shipping costs. can get them made here for about $15-20 a pop

That could be the easier option..... Would save a lot of hassle for postage, but will push up the price that eveyone else on the list has to pay.

Damnabbit, I think I must stop reading this forum and website. When I work on my car, trying to get it finished, it makes(EDIT: scratch that, motivates) me (EDIT: to) stay up later than I should. Last night it was 1am...

And all this bwwwwaaaaaaaaaatinkaaaaaaaahhhhhhbwbwsbswbswsbswsbsw isn't making it any better...



EDIT: guess I should change the 60% to 70% now hey...

Fair call, but working on the car isnt much fun at 1am so you might as well be at the keyboard!!

here are some new photos:

nothing to see here.

I have it booked in for a dyno run next tuesday next week. Different dyno to last time, but the same brand so hopefully the results will be comparable.
