Ken at Nine Excellence lied to me...

^ the other 9e 28 is the same car but has recently had cats removed hence is running a slightly different map which allows her to spool up turbos a bit quicker. The other 9e 28 is also a manual. The stalling etc of my car and being 5 mph down to VMAX a few months ago may perhaps be related to the issues I'm having - or may be driver related i.e. Oz is quicker - but my cars unfortunately going to have to be flatbed to 9e as PSM / ABS error messages and not staring have not been solved. Oz may have just driven his car better on the day but on the second run I led for over half a mile when in 5th gear he pulled away from me. First race I mis shifted twice. Having said this without the cats his car should defo be a bit faster.

Hope its nothing too serious Imran. Let us know how you get on?

[IMIA]

Thanks Chris. I doubt it's serious. Just an air leak, fouled plugs, coil pack or faulty maf. Could be anyone of those. I should have sent the car for a pre check to 9e before VMAX - Ken kindly offered to upgrade the map etc so I can benefit from the revised Map of the other 9e 28 but just didn't have the free time. Doubt it's fuel related as giving the car even better fuel shouldn't effect her. Will just have to run around in the air cooled whilst she's being fixed!

Interesting to see your car blitz the opposition with just that Swedish (?) car romping away from you!

9e 28 recovered to 9e today. Strict instructions not send back to me unless much faster. Was v.impressed with low loader. Fingers crossed nothing serious - shouldn't be as her engine is virtually new.

Good luck and hope it's a simple fix.

I didn't realise so many PH'ers went to VMAX! I'll have to keep my eye out at the next one.

Heard back from 9e. They say no fault codes so its a matter of working through the basics. Engines fine thank God according to Ken!

So the 120 Octane VP Extreme fuel fouled the spark plugs up!

How does that work ?

Not sure if extreme is the same but normal VP import contains MTBE which cannot be used with ID injectors.

Just in case you have ID injectors fitted.

no idea Toby - will ask Ken when I pick her up but he's tinkering with wherefore a few weeks. Thinks he might be able to get up to 15% more power by refining the tune and making more changes to intake system so he can have her as long as he likes

Interesting I'll ask the supplier. I'm swapping the cans I have left out for MS109. Its eye wateringly expensive and I bought the stuff thinking I would obliterate my twin with it. Wacky races! Another dastardly plan in ruins lol!
