XT300 on the rollers

Hi,
After passing the the IVA and getting registration sorted in June I have clocked up 1,000 miles on my Quantum Xtreme's blacktop Zetec and took her back to Mark at MB Motorsport / Quantum Sports Cars for a session on the rollers today, excellent service as always and have come away with an engine that is working much better than before, he spent time looking at the the fueling and ignition at low and mid revs aswell as the top end, and the drive home was much smoother.

Its running on a new Crate 2.0 Blacktop Zetec on Jenvey TB45's, with the optional upswept longer manifold, Pipercross sausage filter, Omex 600 for brians and the usual 4 branch etc, de-catted since IVA.

Computer said 149.8 bhp at the wheels or 177.6BHP at the flywheel power run was at the end of a mapping session, peak was produced at just shy of 7,000rpm.

Should do nicely... for now

Sounds good to me. Kermit is pretty exciting with a standard inlet but otherwise identical set up.

What ratio diff did you go for in the end?

Hi,
3.92 open diff at the mo, hoping to fit an ATB over the winter, but will stick with this ratio.

Cheers

I agree. 3.92 works well. Even better with a long first gear

The LSD changes things a bit, generally for the better but you do have to be more careful in damp conditions...
