TF_250 398 Posted November 23, 2014 yeah the wood the go just drilling holes in it to make it lighter!!! I have had a couple of issues that came up and was avoiding pulling the motor but once i did it they had to be fixed. Had a little sump clearance issue so the corner of the sump had to cut off and re-welded. Also I'm plumbing in a oil/water heater to try and get some oil temp which I really struggle with, and have had a leak in the gearbox front area which as been driving me nuts so i have pulled the trans today and think i have found the problem hopefully. All going well should be back together soon and testing before Christmas. 1 slydog reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TF_250 398 Posted April 3, 2015 I have been racing for a few months now in the new season at willowbank, but not to much to report other then HOT, times will come down when the weather does!! The car is faster then the crossflow at the same weather so I'm hoping a new pb will be run this year!!. I have been trying to sort out the 60' time and once I get rid of the rich spot seen in the data log below that will come to us as well. With the new ecu and the new way motec is doing things we are struggling to get rid of this but have had some discussions with motec and have some things to try next time out.

wagoon 2,429 Posted April 3, 2015 Yeah has really been ideal racing weather of late. Good to see your getting a handle on it and that PB wont be far away Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TF_250 398 Posted May 2, 2015 Went Out On Wednesday night for a few test runs. The weather is finally coming good and the performance fo the car is now showing. The best the crossflow did was 11.582 @ 114.44 at -414 ft altitude in the dead of winter, raced the other night at 550ft and netted the times below. There is more in this yet still getting our heads around the new motec tuning style. I also get the car back down to the same weight as when the crossflow was in it so i can have a real compare of the performance of the 2 engines. 10 ricktewagon, dougie77, PRO250 and 7 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TF_250 398 Posted June 28, 2015 Went back out testing again last night, first time in 2 months We haven't changed anything overall, had a missfire in the 1st pass so we changed the plugs and it was a jet after that had 4 good runs in a row pb after pb so all in all happy now. Weather was good but no were near cold enough. Also did a perfect 000 light on the last pass 1st time ever in probably over 1000 passes!! 11 gerg, dougie77, slydog and 8 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wagoon 2,429 Posted June 28, 2015 So close to 116mph, great to see the car still progressing. Well done on the light as well. Hopefully the temps drop soon we can get into winter 1 TF_250 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TF_250 398 Posted July 16, 2015 Went out last night to make the most of the "cold snap" netted some good times. Might have more in it might not, I'm really not sure any more!! 6 Mixalis, Outback Jack, Thom and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bear351c 10,270 Posted July 16, 2015 Awesome consistency. Looks like you've got a handle on the car, should be able to see any changes immediately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wagoon 2,429 Posted July 16, 2015 Awesome result. Thats PB for ET and MPH yeah?!? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TF_250 398 Posted July 16, 2015 Awesome result. Thats PB for ET and MPH yeah?!? yes it's mate. It's looks now to be making more power in the car then on the dyno, we have tweeted the cam timing a few months ago I'd say it's making 15-20hp more then the xflow did now. 3 matt_lamb_160, Outback Jack and wagoon reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TF_250 398 Posted July 17, 2015 That's booting for a NA barra is that the fastest NA one in aus you know of? Yes it is mate, I've claimed it on ford aust forum and Facebook closest one I've herd of is 12.97 in a BA which is still pretty good. 3 PRO250, ricktewagon and Mixalis reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wagoon 2,429 Posted July 17, 2015 Props to you Jas for sticking with it. Job well done mate. Will be interesting to see what you can go! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mixalis 266 Posted July 17, 2015 Thats awesome Jase so consistent, noticed the MPH is going up as well! Good to hear its the quickest and fastest DOHC n/a as well, not surprised. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that thing would be eligible for All-Motor and Jambo and that should be heading your way next right? The consistency is ridiculous and the majority of the other cars in it have a clutch, this thing would be a serious contender! Don't think a Ford has ever won All-Motor yet aye? 4 TF_250, PRO250, MNTL.XD and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
