And the exhaust is in the pipeline....
The pipeline that seems to be getting longer on a daily basis I looked around the garage last night and it's full of stalled/still boxed van projects.
- Big brake calipers on the bench ready to fit (still no discs) (and they now wont fit under new wheels)
- Exhaust components cut and on the welding bench (waiting argon)
- Billet of nylon and ally to make a measuring tool for the gearbox mod
- Stack of audi wheels waiting a splash of more saleable paint
- Towbar - still boxed
= Steering rack gaiter

Bought a new laptop battery - missed out on a cheap local 'garage' spec laptop
As soon as the battery arrives, I'll do a couple of log runs, one as it is now and one with the airbox lid lifted.
The black smoke on acceleration is pretty hefty at the moment, also the white smoke on start up is back again - I think the injector swap will have to happen, not for any performance gains but to clean up the running. (although I appreciate the black smoke may get a lot worse - but the burn could clean up with better spray and shorter injection duration.

Managed to get a workable figure (getting in a muddle over elements in the formula - sleeping helped!) so reran it this morning and using data from a very old logrun I'm getting a VE of 72.7% with my Volvo turbo but with OEM TMIC. Chuffed as its eliminates a huge performance variable. Need to do a run with my K24, then some mods can be gauged properly. Need inlet manifold air temp which would eliminate more data and prove IC efficiency.
V3.... done, substantial improvements in 780 to 3000rpm. Yours in a month if you want it?

I looked at your PDF but only saw spurious numbers and I am of the impression there should be far more yellow on the chart.

I've removed your limp in v3.

Enquired about the rest of the van and it's break only - so may go back for half a van tomorrow. Want a front end for mocking up gearbox mods
Anything I can do to help with the gearbox mockup?
