X-pack-Glyn Posted March 31, 2009 Author Report Posted March 31, 2009 open trumpets, injection head (basicly st1). plenty compression there to, 180 psi.
X-pack-Glyn Posted March 31, 2009 Author Report Posted March 31, 2009 Timing? (Cam and sparks) RL31 all dialed in mate. standard sparks.
Fiesta Steve Posted March 31, 2009 Report Posted March 31, 2009 Fiesta Steve tuned Crossflow, that'll make it bark
X-pack-Glyn Posted March 31, 2009 Author Report Posted March 31, 2009 Fiesta Steve tuned Crossflow, that'll make it bark Nooooo, i want to go fast!
RUSTYPUP Posted March 31, 2009 Report Posted March 31, 2009 Timing? (Cam and sparks) RL31 all dialed in mate. standard sparks. Standard? How much max advance?
X-pack-Glyn Posted March 31, 2009 Author Report Posted March 31, 2009 Timing? (Cam and sparks) RL31 all dialed in mate. standard sparks. Standard? How much max advance? 12 degrees idle at 1000 rpm. goes well, but feels like it goes flayt after about 4000, pulls right through to 8000 but loses its edge at about 4 if that makes any sense, still quick, but should be quicker.
bigdaz27 Posted March 31, 2009 Report Posted March 31, 2009 you had her on a rolling road if not maybe you should
fezza Posted March 31, 2009 Report Posted March 31, 2009 Fiesta Steve tuned Crossflow, that'll make it bark Nooooo, i want to go fast! budget build,Wrong Wheel Drive 13.8 quarter,not bad id say As for your pinto,sounds like it could be a bad combination with my limited knowledge,45's with a standard flow head ? what size are the chokes,if they're too big the carbs might be sucking more air than the head can flow?
Mexico Posted March 31, 2009 Report Posted March 31, 2009 are the carbs set up correctly? a rolling road would be your best bet as it would tell you exactly where the flat spots are. Also, have you done any headwork??

jayson2.3pinto Posted March 31, 2009 Report Posted March 31, 2009 as steve said whats your total advance ,try retarding cam timing
LEONMEX Posted March 31, 2009 Report Posted March 31, 2009 try taking the exhaust off,then it will bark
X-pack-Glyn Posted March 31, 2009 Author Report Posted March 31, 2009 as steve said whats your total advance ,try retarding cam timing i tried that mate, it got loads of low down grunt and sounded nuts, but went really really flat at the top end... think il have a faf about with the timing. spoke to wayne today and he said ignition timing too... dont get me wrong, cars a flyer but i know its got more to give.

fezza Posted March 31, 2009 Report Posted March 31, 2009 Keep at it,im sure you'll get there in the end
X-pack-Glyn Posted March 31, 2009 Author Report Posted March 31, 2009 Keep at it,im sure you'll get there in the end hope so mate, cheers. prob means a 1000 quid head next then.
Mexico Posted March 31, 2009 Report Posted March 31, 2009 any ideas on the horsepower your putting out? just built a pinto now with an rl30 and 45's. got a burton stage 3 head though so just wondering what to expect?
Nick Mexi-cos Posted March 31, 2009 Report Posted March 31, 2009 Sounds like timing to me fella , get it down to wayne let him wave his magic wond over it mate , your soon see a diffrence " money well spent "
SmokeEm Posted April 1, 2009 Report Posted April 1, 2009 Just take that wheezy old lump out mate & drop the rolling shell off at mine - at least it'll bark once our lump is comfy between the struts
X-pack-Glyn Posted April 9, 2009 Author Report Posted April 9, 2009 Update.... played with ignition and cam timing....no difference. port matched inlet.... no difference. changed carb jetting... no difference. mates engine exact same spec except for 40s instead of 45s, standard 20 head with no skim, and a standard flywheel, everything else is identical. so far ive had 40s and 45s, 2 different heads (1 injection with 40 thou off and 1 standard), 3 different dizzy,s, rejet on both sets of carbs, 2 differet exhaust manifilds and 2 different exhausts, 2 different flywheels (standard and 3kg). the next step is to put the top end on my mates mint block and we will try that. engine goes like stink but it just dont sound right.
