Before I designed, created and fitted this system
viewtopic.php?f=14&t=5907&start=0the first Drag car to have a REVO system fitted was the MG ZR owned by Andy Nichols.
Now this BIG news is rather belated for reasons beyond my control but as the old saying goes; "Better late than never" so here we go!
Andy has just WON his first event (The ESC) and PROCLAIMED; that he couldn’t have done it without the REVO/Max & WON!!!
Andy has been using a WON nitrous system for a good few years now and over that time he's had some hugely successful highs and a good number of lows, due to frequently suffering one problem or another, like;
1) Everything else except nitrous related issues (failures of gearbox, drive shafts, turbo, manifold, wiring, etc. etc.)
2) ECU interfacing with Max Extreme issues, in addition to the occasional and minor nitrous issue, all of which have produced unpredictable results.
Towards the end of last year Andy switched to a Motec ECU and we added the REVO’s to his Pulsoid system.
For the first part of this year he continued to suffer failures unrelated to the nitrous system and even at the start of his last event (The ESC), his car suffered yet another problem in the form of an electrical fire, which caused him to pack up and get ready for home.
Thankfully his son wasn’t prepared to give up so easily and forced Andy to unload the car and fix it.
Some graft later the car was 'fixed', so he raced the car (in an ill prepared form) and still went on to win the event.
Without the REVO/Max nitrous system, Andy reported the car boost fell off drastically on shifts and was only capable of running 11.1 but with the REVO set to eliminate the lag, he ran down to 10.5 secs.
Now this is still short of his best time in the car but all things considered Andy is VERY HAPPY, because this is the first time the NEW COMBINATION (of dramatically different components to his previously successful combination), has been allowed to perform without interference from some unrelated failure.
Andy can now progress from here (as long as nothing else bites him in the arse) and fine tune ALL aspects of his car, so as to deliver it's full potential at last.
