Mapping yesterday had to be aborted since we couldn't get any decent boost pressure (wouldn't go above 0,5 bar) and because all the car instrumentation suddenly died during a pull.
Best pull for the day was an estimated 384 PS and 371 Nm at the flywheel with only the afore-mentioned 0,5 bar boost, using 97 octane fuel and only going to 7,500 rpm. I guess there's potential for good figures in the future at least. The curve looks decent, climbing rather evenly and steeply from 2,500 rpm, still climbing when we let go at 7,500.
The sound is absolutly amazing! It sounds like an outright race car, and one can hardly stand beside it when the engine reaches 5,500 rpm without covering ones ears.
The engine will be pressure tested further and the WG-clocks adjusted harder before a new attempt on Saturday, but I could use some advice on the electric issues?
Water Temp, Revolution Meter, Oil Pressure, Speedometer and Fuel Guage suddenly stopped working during a pull. Instrumentation lighting is working fine, but the guages show nothing at all.
Boost and Water Temp on the MFD isn't working ether, apart from the Water Temp flashing red and showing 130° C.
We've checked all fuses (fuse box in the engine bay, fuse box to the right beneath the steering wheel and fuse box in the trunk), and we've checked the water temp sensor. Nothing's wrong with any of it?
