Base pulley size will give about 10 psi, give or take. Smaller pulley = more boost :)

Cheers,
Hymee.

Clarification for the E85 graph?

Hymee 02-08-2010 03:32 PM

That was pushing it. Around 14 IIRC.

Cheers,
Hymee.

maybe for the 2.1L blower or piping, but I wouldn't think so for E85 fuel :dunno:

any feel for what the 2.6L output would be?

Actually, that boost was on a 1.7 litre blower. E85 made 20 more HP than Premium Unleaded.

Danny should know about the 2.6 sooner or later. I won't be offering it as a kit. But I guess money talks.

Hymee.

Bump :) Are we there yet?

TeamRX8 03-14-2010 03:02 PM

he must be buried in it, no replies to emails etc.

Hymee 03-14-2010 03:54 PM

Installing one of the customer production kits at the moment as a final check of parts etc. There are a couple of last minute minor parts that we are holding off on, to be finalised as part of this install. Also, this install is being documented so a professional quality installation manual will be provided.

Sorry guys, it is a much more involved process. It is either this way, or sending out 1/2 backed kits...

Cheers,
Hymee.

PS - Sorry if I have been slack on emails. Just rattle my cage again once in a while. :)

pdxhak 03-14-2010 04:02 PM

Appreciate the update :) Think this will be ready by September this year?

speedy33 03-14-2010 04:21 PM

September? :eek:
i hope that was a joke.. :suspect:

I can't have been rattling long and hard enough ....

pdxhak 03-14-2010 04:59 PM

I am not on preorder list and September is the month that could work for me. For those on the list though I could see how that would suck :)

Don't start... At least I'm not on the critical path.

I wish it hadn't got to the stage where the joke could be made!

Not sure what you mean by don't start? Hope you did not think I was attempting to stir the pot because my hope is you will have a kit available to ship in September and I am in a position like I think I will be to buy it :)

Hymee 03-14-2010 08:14 PM

No, not at all. It's all good. Probably a little bit lost in translation between cultures. It sort of depends how you say it, which I forgot to decorate to smilies to help.

It is because I am very, very (very... recurring) frustrated at how long this is taking to get over the line. I have some dependencies on others which are a little out of my control, but many of the little things are all to make this better.

Can't wait to take more orders, even if it is the second batch. By then the process will be much more sorted, and lead times shorter and better managed (though an ISO certified quality system) in terms of process. The actual quality in the parts is there, just not the system around it.

Cheers,
Hymee.

Brettus 03-14-2010 08:21 PM

I hope one of the little things is to sort out the pro tuner issues I've been telling you about ....

Hymee 03-14-2010 08:24 PM

Yes dude. Should be before NZ take the Chapel-Hadley trophy from us. :)

Cheers,
Hymee.

x2

but with a much less important sCANalyser non pro/usb question..


beers :beer:

speedy33 03-15-2010 03:04 AM

@hymee
you know, the most of us now waiting one year to get this thing.
i understand the delays and the ways you try to make this the best quality kit on the market.
but why canīt you give us a simple and official delivery date now?
i thought there is "only" a little PU thing and the install manual to be made??

sorry to say that but if i ever known that this takes such long, i now would drive the pettit sc long ago and having fun and no frustrations.

i donīt want to wait another 6 months or something like that :tear:

How about the 5 years I have been "waiting"?! The polyurethane thing is really the last thing. Danny is documenting the install on a "virgin" car, and the PU joiner ring will be finalised in the next couple of day. It also highlighted a "manufacturing tolerance" issue we have not seen before that means a fairly simple part needs to be altered. That should be done to try on Wednesday.

Don't worry, I share the frustrations 10 fold!

Cheers,
Hymee.

Mark-do you remember at what lambda you found best power when you tuned it with e85?

Ahh - tuner's secret :) (not me). Actually, I don't remember. I'll ask and see if I am able to kiss and tell.

Cheers,
Hymee.
