Flywheel horsepower or rear wheel horsepower? Is this a full H&S system with headers, or just a muffler?
|
That was FW horsepower Chris, I quickly scanned in the dyno sheet as a jpg which should appear below:
Look "normal" and healthy in your opinion?
I was led to believe that the system (headers, cat and silencer) was an H&S item, but looking at their site today, it looks pretty much nothing-like!!...and judging by some of the other "creative" statements by the dealer who sold me the car, H&S was quite possibly plucked from thin-air...certainly nothing in the paperwork file to substantiate it.
Some pics below, but now looking at a) the latest H&S offering, it's significantly different, and b) then Brians RarleyL8 systems, mine looks to have anything other than equal length primaries.
At this point, I wonder whether I'd be best to sell mine on and invest in some new,
known headers?
The "silencer" (that actually looks to only have a cat converter contained in it) sits transversely approx behind the license plate, above and siamesed with the pipes you can see underneath the rear valance....strange design, not one that Brian has seen before....f'ing loud though!

If you choose to run inductive ignition, and the MBE has built-in ignitors (ignition amplifiers), you will not need the external 3-channel ignitor.
|
I'm pretty sure that the MBE systems do now have everything built-in - certainly the (older) MBE system I have on the Westfield just needs external Bosch amplifiers that then fire Magnetti Marelli coils, one per cylinder....but even that ECU is now 4-5yrs old and thus "old" in technology terms.
Have tried catching up with Steve (re MBE) today on the phone, but work keeps getting in the way! Hopefully tomorrow morning for a chat about the management side of this.

You have a sensor and bracket for the EZ69 ignition control unit. Re-use the bracket; the rest goes away. We offer a billet adapter and hall-effect sensor that reads the flywheel for the ECU's engine speed input. Hall-effect is a digital signal, cleaner and more reliable at higher rpms than a mag (magnetic) sensor.
Then use a standard 1990-98 Cup/RS flywheel (or 993TT dual mass if you want a more mild cruiser, totally quiet).

Is the swap to either a Cup/RS or 993TT flywheel mandatory, Chris?...Assuming the MBE can read and resolve a 60-2 tooth pattern, can I simply bin the magnetic sensor, install your adapter and Hall Effect sensor, then use this with my stock 965 F/W? (sorry, speaking "blind" until I get to have a look at this.
Although I would love the idea of swapping to an RS F/W (IIRC, you supplied this setup to a mate/colleague of mine, James Markham for his 965), I've read what seem to be horror stories of stalling engines because the management can't deal with the reduction in inertia....or is this nothing to worry about in this context?...and it's another>$1k on the bottom line, with new clutch etc.
Spreadsheet looking more populated! Thanks for the link to Bruce's build - very helpful.
Cheers
