The V8 Owners Forum -

Are you taking the drive from the front of the engine? It looks as if it is facing backwards.

I am new to the forum! I have some stage one Wildcat heads taken out of mothballs that I am going to build for a hydroplane project on a 3.9 girdled block. I have the roller rockers, heads and old style valve covers along with JE pistons and a pair of injection intakes. I may need some assistance o...

Hi
I also have a Dutton with a v8 rover engine. I'm looking for evidence that this car existed in the 70's.
I need this for admission. Can you help me with that?
Kind regards Andrew

Thank you for the information regarding your Thor system, very interesting. I would assume that although your fresh air comes from the inlet of the filter is all part of the metered air and therefore not an issue with regards to the air fuel ratio. Unfortunately I have what I would term as a univer...

Can you add a TPS reading as well?

What car is it?

I always like a nice chart It looks like you're getting good data there.

I should have really updated this. The problem was I had mounted a second processor (ESP8266) to act as a serial to wifi bridge. The emanations from this was doing silly things to the crank signal. Ripped it out and the engine runs with no drop outs. Self inflicted geek wound.

Welcome. The content of this forum goes back a long way (wow, just checked 2006!) so searching is a treasure trove. What kit is it?

If you don't have servo assistance, you'll never stop the car with just your big toe, it will always require a hefty shove. You can reduce the pressure on the pedal by going down a size on the master cylinder, which is mechanically similar to having a longer brake pedal; you'll push it less hard, bu...

Can you lock the fronts? It might be an idea to experiment with different pads/pedal ratio/cylinder sizes before going down an expensive route.

Nice! Post questions and lots of photos

Yes, I did mean CO. Unfortunately I don't have a detailed ending to the story, but it did end up passing it's emissions test and now has a valid MOT. Hopefully some other poor soul will one day find this thread and appreciate the info within.

I have a friend with a 3.5 V8 TR7 on SU carbs that just had an MOT fail on CO2 levels. The car has been off the road for years, and has just been re-commissioned. I have no knowledge of SU carbs, so what would be a sensible plan of attack for pulling down the CO2 level?

That's awesome! I don't know of anyone local (I'm in Harpenden) unfortunately. I'm slowly fiddling with my Speeduino setup, but it's nowhere near as wild as yours
