Just a few seconds after many hundreds of hours of work,
But it means everything, I reckon.
Congratulations Tim
Thanks Dave. It makes a big difference. I’ve got a new trailer on order too so I will definitely be across to see you in the new year for suspension
set-up etc.
Don't think I could have avoided the temptation for so long though.
I had intended to do it a couple of weeks ago but when I added the coolant I literally filled the engine - the o-ring on the water pipe that goes into
the water/oil pump had failed and the sump filled with expensive coolant. I was not happy and had to drain everything, replace the o-ring, sump
gasket blah blah...
But then, you weren’t talking about starting the engine just two weeks’ ago...

Whats the issue with the rad'?
Well, sat for 15ish minutes at 6deg ambient and it was up-at 100deg. Firstly, some plonker didn’t think a fan would be necessary. Secondly it’s an
ancient Serck unit that probably isn’t as good as it should be. I am however a bit scared by the cost of new custom rads. Oh well.
What temp will yours sit at Adi? I should say that my oil temp is yet to go above 60-odd deg.

I wouldn't worry about it then. On mine without the manual fan switch on or any airflow it'll go all the way to the ECU fan switch on at
105c. Won't take too long either. Once warmed up/run it will rise rapidly once stationary so I'd say you def' want a fan.
The Gemini has been on the dyno - didn’t go bang but didn’t ‘do the numbers’ due to the ECU not liking something. This is in-hand and I should be
back on a RR either later this month or at the start of next.

So what numbers did it make?
A massive 125.22bhp. Drive by wire throttle was closing at 10,500rpm so it just wasn’t getting into its stride. Unfortunately PDQ don’t have a space
until 10th August so I’m contemplating dragging it to Harrogate.

If by Harrogate you mean Damian at Daytunner I can recommend him. Did a great job on mine last month.
Any idea what's causing the problem with the ECU/throttles?
Yes, that’s the thinking - it’s just SUCH A LONG WAY.
Well, I’ve just cleared the error history and all is now well so it looks like I’ve got a restricted US-spec ECU. The ECU is off to Track Electronics
tomorrow for John to work his magic. YCC-T is a bit of a pain.

Confirmed to be the case. Only 80% throttle over 10,500rpm. Not all that conducive to power.
