Thanks for the +ve comments, Pete the ignition is an MSD Mag but you don't need a six shooter with the BS3, spark & fuel are mapped this way. When we had a clutch we had antilag which pulled timing when you were going in to stage, which was to build pressure, but now you can load the motor against the convertor the antilag is no longer.
Basically you all you have to do is control the boost to control the torque & it has taken the last couple of years to work it all out, when we started with the turbo deal it was generally thought that the motor would make massive amounts of torque with a very narrow power band (bit like a diesel but at higher rpm), oh how wrong we were. Initially we started with a 5 speed Lenco but it kept rattling the tyres so much that we went 4 then 3 speed & still couldn't get the car off the line without massive tyre shake. In the end the decision was made to go auto, most of the Stateside turbo cars have gone this route & if the likes of them with far more money & track time couldn't get a clutch to work then what chance have we?
There is a Racepak data logger which records everything possible. The BS3 also has it's own logging.
Mark, yes the AMS uses CO2 across the waste gates, this has been where we have had a few problems, hopefully now ironed out, can't say too much at the moment though! I don't think the car has been raised although when it first came out of Andy's shop the hat for the blower was above the roofline so we had to raise the rear end a tiny bit IIRC.
Pete (the other one), yes the body is carbon fibre, your car is no sloth though matey & it's probably more fun than this! You keep at it.
Pete W again, the chassis is still pretty much the same as when Andy built it, apart from the rear suspension which has been changed to a more conventional style.
Will, just have a look through some of these

I will put up more next time we have a session but that's a few weeks away. I will answer questions where possible & I would love to be able to show you what goes on inside the motor as Rob Loaring (ICE) has done some pretty special stuff for us, but I can't because that is what will hopefully give us the edge over the competition.
Cheers Rob
