Wheelspin 5 December 2014 Wheelspin 6 December 2014 Wheelspin 7 December 2014 FOURTH FOR MOLLY IN JUNIOR WRC FINAL AT WALES RALLY GB

North Shore member Molly Taylor is pondering the possibilities for 2015 after a strong finish in the ‘grand final’ of the 2014 Junior World Rally Championship.

Despite missing two rounds of the series due to lack of funds, Taylor and British co- driver Seb Marshall made a return to the stages at Wales Rally GB, finishing fourth in the category. The result left Taylor sixth in the J-WRC points standings for the year.

Taylor, an ambassador with the ‘Rexona #IWILLDO’ campaign, went into the event (November 13-16) setting herself the goal of winning a stage, and came oh-so- close, being second fastest by just two seconds on one competitive section. She posted third and fourth quickest times during the event, despite being out of the car for three months leading up to Rally GB. “I knew it was going to be a tall order to come into the event in this way without “I would love to step up into a 4WD car of the World Rally Championship.

As we embrace more efficient new engine technology, the downside of those efficiency gains are actually soon realised. Often overlooked in old technology engines, Carbies had a beneficial self cleaning function. The fuel flowing from jets cleaned the inlet manifold of deposits that migrated there from oil blow by, a result of crank case breathing. Modern engines are a balance of efficiency and cost. Take for example direct injection petrol and diesel, there is no fuel to clean the inlet, but the upside is better power and much improved fuel economy. The owners are often not aware of hidden costs of keeping a modern engine clean. The newest DIT (Direct Injection Technology) The Mitsubishi 3.2 turbo diesel DIT The replacement Mitsubishi 2.5 Turbo engines have long term costs in keeping engine, often suffers this problem, even Diesel DIT engine was another step the build up of deposits down. Add though it was one of the first of its type forward, with similar power and torque of diesel and you have a recipe that some in the Oz market. Nothing new is perfect, the 3.2 yet smaller and more compact, manufacturers are constantly struggling at first. but yet still suffering soot issues, within the balance of cost vs economy. somewhat less than its predecessor.

Wheelspin 10 December 2014 Soot is the positive and negative hidden feature of these engines and its not just Mitsubishi’s challenge, we now see it in all DIT engines, its just in Diesel engines the build up happens faster. EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) is used on most modern engines and the Mitsubishi engine has suffered and gained as a result. Balanced for a combination of cold start, fuel economy and other benefits, controlled by the ECU (engine control unit) the EGR valve that connects the exhaust to the inlet, feeds, depending on engine load, sooty air to an inlet manifold that then combines with oil blow by. This soot is then recombusted, but some mixes to form a sticky paste, looking somewhat like boot polish. A 3.2 or 2.5 diesel with over 100,000 km can in some cases be 30% blocked if not correctly cleaned regularly. This is a challenge for both manufactures and also the aftermarket, to find a balance of the holy grail of more power (and Torque) at a sensible cost. This is my daily challenge in the performance aftermarket………. And yes there is a solution  For more info, and videos search the web for “MRT soot” SYDNEY’S AWARD WINNING POOL BUILDER
