Do you know what modifications have been done to the ignition and fuelling on the BAE turbo car and does it run nice?
Rudy is still experimenting solutions to get it running good. Now it runs nice, but still got no complete good mixture at some rpms and it got some pinging sometimes also.
Actually, the ignition is retarded a bit ( stock ign distributor ) , and for the fuelling it has an hobbs switch sending ground to the lambda ecu to enrich the mixture at pressure. Stock delorean CPR.
We tried a different CPR, without the lower chamber of the delorean one, and it runned richer and better at high rpm's, but not so good on lower rpm, and by the way the fuel consumption was very bad on highway.
The car used also to have a retarding timing ECU installed by the previous owner, but it was not working the way they installed it

and maybe was damaged, so we took it out for working on fuel.
Yesterday we were trying a little ecu board i did build, for controlling the frequency valve not just "on-off" by the hobbs switch, but more gradually and mapped with a MAP sensor. In the end we see some improvement, but the FV has not so much range.
But maybe Rudy will buy a "5th controller ECU", wich are quite cheap and made the same work of the board i did build, to control the FV better and mapped with a MAP and Rpm signal. Or maybe just an additional injector fuelling, and taking out the FV.
He was also courios to try the electronic digital CPR, but the company is still waiting to release on the website the new version, so we are waiting. I know they are testins it with the porsche guys, but still get some problems.
But, also, Rudy is building a turbo ( or twin...) with a 24v 3.0lt PRV from pugeot 605... monster engine

so he has not hurry with this one ^^
