Default Re: TDCI Focus

Heard from the tuning joint with my Focus today, they appologised for having the car for so long as it was taking much longer than they expected, they're trying to get it 100% right as this is a bit more custom than their usual tuning jobs.

Its been on the dyno all day with multiple tunes, they got it smoking less, they said mainly if you give it heaps in 2nd it'll blow out some black smoke for a few seconds, then onto 3rd gear it'll do it for a split second then clean up.

Also the injector supplied with the water/methanol kit is too big and its blowing out combustion so I need to source a smaller nozzle so they can start injecting some water/methanol mix in there.

They're going to try dial down injection pressure on the alcohol pump to 150psi from the 250psi it was preset to from factory so maybe I might not have to go through the hassle of finding another nozzle.

It picked up another 23KW at the wheels with the tune on fuel only, so its doing 123KW at the front tyres at the moment.
