Smart injection

[Kapt. Q]

Having seen the MAT rise between 90cc and 120cc, I think there maybe room for improvement, but as you say, it is a fine line, it is definitely so rich right now that top end acceleration is harmed compared to without injection, but no miss-firing (turbo boosts so much better besides this even so!). Perhaps good to know how far it can be pushed before tuning as a bench mark. I think that tuning with all the possible permutations may take a whole day to complete!
Cheers!

Richard, have you ever killed an FAV? Just wondering, as he, and I will probably have the thing running most of the time. Will it be able to do 5-15% for 5 hours straight?

No, never.

The only way the FAV is going to die pre-maturely is hydrocarbon contamination. It can take a matter of minutes.

It may be a tiny turbo, but it's compressor wheel also has a tiny price, so water erosion now holds no fear!

Cheers!

I wish I could find more info on the VQ-37 turbo my car had. I had to use a motorcycle carb filter for when I was experimenting with Hot air intakes. I think the OD was a little over 1 inch.

No, gonna find a way to wear it out. There are no FI smarts in the US that I know of. A smart with a boosted hayabusa engine would be nice though.

There are a few 450's (old shape turbos like mine) in the States and there are turbo kits available in the US for the 451 that is sold there.

Bike engined Smarts tend to be impractical dogs because of the weak bike gearbox and the engines that have to be going mega rpm to make power, also you loose ABS and ESP.

Better to put a toyota MR2 engine in as my friend did:




It won a prize at 'Smart Times' the official international meet.

I have absolute confidence in the system, it's my own ineptitude with it that worries me, lol!
