Please note everyone, a prominent Griff owner has just admitted (in public) that he'd be impressed by a Chimaera
Wasn't he implying to be impressed by only the engine ?Though on the plus side from sitting inside the car enjoying the engine I wouldn't be aware I was sitting in a chim. so it wouldn't be that bad
Back in your cage chilli

Hope you don't mind me taking the thread a little off track while we wait for the next installment...Have you had any issues with backfire through the induction when starting the engine with that setup ? When I switched to MS I killed two CF plenums, I've now gone back to the metal one. It was mitigated with a change to the MS start parameters but still happens from time to time. If you haven't fireds it up yet - be careful. I can provide details of the parameters to check if needed.

Blimey!Have you had any issues with backfire through the induction when starting the engine with that setup ? When I switched to MS I killed two CF plenums, I've now gone back to the metal one.

Only started it and ran for a few minutes as one of the spark drivers had failed.
Stripped out the engine loom and the MS, new loom being delivered shortly and upgraded MS.
Please send me those perameters and I can give them to Shaun the mapper who will do the tweaking.
I certainly dont want to break the plenum!!!!!!!!!!!!
What metal plenum have you gone back to, single?

I'll need to fire up my ancient laptop later tonight to get the name of the parameter and the 'safe' values but it relates to how many 'sections' of the trigger wheel are monitored to get the timing sync before it fires the spark. Think the safe level was above 12, but will check. It was worse when the battery was low and was struggling to turn it over. I also fitted a geared starter to help the situation (less voltage drop, more torque).Only started it and ran for a few minutes as one of the spark drivers had failed.

If you're referring to Shaun at V8D then he and Colin at TVRSSW diagnosed the issue on mine so should know about it. Worth checking though.
Yes, I went back to single plenum unfortunately. Car is now running rich due to lack of air. I haven't got myself in the mental position to fork out on another bloody CF plenum yet.
