INJECTED_250 · 12-11-2005, 01:55 AM

Well i finially took my car to calder, running my mild 250 no nitros no turbo running 205/65/15 dunlop 300a's in it... first run was 13.064, with full exhaust, 2nd run was 12.944@104 with a 1.953 60ft.

It was running hot so parked it for a while, decided to take the exhaust of, went out an done 2 12.7's @ 107mphbut the good old calder printer died on those to runs. The last run of the night i hurt it half track (bent push rod, or rocker snaped of) went 12.801@ at un known mph as the dicks tore the sheet of to short...
Well heres a pik of the 12.8 one.. (left lane car 130)

I knew you would find this thread interesting Craig.

Anyway good ET Injected250.

Strange how 6's have low mph and low et's compared to other engines..Must get off the line nice. Low end torque for sure...Well done.. A V8 would have do atleast 110 mph....

Very nice time and good driving 1.9 on streets...Congrats you have to be happy with those times..

INJECTED_250 · 12-11-2005, 03:00 PM

Thanks guys it was my first time out in the car.. I pulled the rocker cover of and both inlet and Exhaust push rods on no one are bent totaly, The lifters had come out of the lifter bore this explans the low oil pressure..

The engine is pretty basic, Car weight is 1280 with driver, running a tce 4000 stall with c4/c9, full manual. 3.7 open wheeler (hooks 2 really good). 205/65 15's tires

Pacmaker extractors, wade flat tappet solid, 260@0.050, 560 lift, 11.5 comp, clevo 2v valves, 200 rods, yella tera rockers. (springs to suuit cam) inject ecu, 400 cc injectors, custom efi intake, set up for 2 throtle bodys runing only one at the moment... rev limit of 6200 used.

I carnt wait to get back to the track with slicks and mabie 3.9's ... id love a 12.5 or lower... I gues it all starts here

PhantomXR8 · 12-11-2005, 03:35 PM

You say 6200rpm rev limit, to what revs does your engine spin up to? Also, do you know what power the engine is producing? Yeh Wade, like the look of the EFI setup on the old crossflow I6's.

CAMS290 · 13-11-2005, 11:57 AM

Bloody awesome time mate. You just cant beat a nice power to weight ratio, and obviously a good driver.

xr8ute · 13-11-2005, 12:37 PM

Wow, that is very impressive. Are you running one of the alloy series heads or the iron 2V?

Thats more cam than I thought could probably get away with on a 250, but the compression and long rods must help that(?) What sort of RPM are you shifting at?

Go the Cortina!!!!!

INJECTED_250 · 13-11-2005, 01:18 PM

Id love to tell you what rpm im shifting at, but i had no Rpm-O-Meter. Id say around 5700-5800 ish, but i wouldnt know. I might chuck in one next time, i just kinda shifted when it sounded right. I only hit the limiter through the burn out
Its A C2 Alloy head...., The block came from a charf cutter of a farm. :>....

xr8ute · 13-11-2005, 01:29 PM

Yep, that pushrod is definitely bent...lol

**Stav** · 13-11-2005, 01:53 PM

this is awesome time mate.Always had a soft spot for the 250 alloy crossflow enigine. I used to break my pushrods too.You may want to try hardened ones.

**Bluehoon** · 13-11-2005, 03:16 PM

Well done mate.

I think she may need a new rod or two

:

INJECTED_250 · 13-11-2005, 07:05 PM

I kinda built it with the pushrods to be the weak link in the motor. Id rather chuck a new push rod or 12 in every few mounths than break rocker posts of, or damage valves. gonna chuck in a full set of 12 push rods and up the spring pressure a bit with some shims under the springs. With new rocker pedistal bolts 2.. THat should keep it happy for a few more mounths :>...

Seriously thinking about going to heathcote next weekend.... just gota see how broke i am :>

xr8ute · 13-11-2005, 08:22 PM

Yep, thats not a bad way to approach it. What spring pressures are you running?

Oscar of Markoz · 14-11-2005, 06:28 PM

Thats a great time there mate. Wicked stuff.
Plus, best of all its a Cortina. WOOHOO!

INJECTED_250 · 14-11-2005, 08:19 PM

man id love to be able to tell you what spring pressures its running... but its kinda been hit and miss.. first we just had outers, than inners, now one shim... Hope fully its just enuf to keep vlave float at bay, but not to much to snap of my rocker bolts.. bit of a balance really

Rns 13 · 02-12-2005, 05:47 PM

mate what sport of rocker coaver are you running if your using the alloy (efi) version then your rocker adjusters may be hitting the rocker cover hence the bent push rod it happened to me once i just got a 10mm alloy spacer made up to get more clearence.
