Friday I prepared new fuel and ignition maps for E85 and Saturday morning I filled up about 65 liters of E85. Loaded the new maps, made some transitional adjustments and everything went smooth as silk. A couple of hours on the road fine tuning the maps and it's close to perfect. I still have some headroom left on the ignition map, will do the final adjustments after the next full tank.
Initial testing at 0.9-1.0 bar shows 60-100 mph at 4.8 sec. I think it will be very quick with full ign. advance at 1.5 bar
Took the opportunity to shot some new pics as well.

 

Looking seriously beautiful as ever Duke!!
So how much advance do you think you'll go for? That's also a very promising 60-100mph time under those parameters.

 

is that nile green or a custom color?

 

nice car, but your wheels are Cup's? how did you get them in that color?

 

Thanks all.
The color is Rainforest Green, it's a pearl effects color that came on the 996.
The wheels are not the regular cup's. They are 18" Gemballa LeMans made by Speedline.

 

Oh and I were just out datalogging a few runs. Seems I'm hitting 103% duty cycle on the 1000 CC injectors at 1.25 bar @ 7000 rpm. I have a set of 1600 CC waiting to go in but the 044 pump is close to maxing out so I can't raise the boost..

 

Sounds like time for 2 pumps. Hmm......

 

Indeed... I've been thinking about that for quite some time now.
The natural step is to add another 044 but it might be that 2 parallel 044's doesn't fit under the stock cover. The Walbro pumps are much smaller so 2x walbro 255 lph pumps is another option.

 

Is your car a 2.8 or 3 liter? How extensive is the work done to it?

 

Right now it has a 2.5l 8v engine. Pretty extensive work, but by no means extreme.

 

Nice, nice. any pics under the hood?? I'm really thinking of getting those headlamps. Save some weight + clearing up some space under the hood would be key!!

 

Nice Duke

I'm sure you will love the fuel

Since you have a nice management logging setup it would be interesting to compare spoolup with the added timing.

It would be pretty obvious I would think considering the turbo.

I'd like to compare some things too

 

that is a seriously badass car youve got

your car is my favorite 944 color

 

Your car is one of my 3 all-time favorite 951s

 

Really nice car!!

I am starting a E85 project in September, I can't wait

A quick quistion, what kind of tire's are you running?
