Gents need some suggestions first time with a B44.1 but ive been racing for years.
Im currently geared at 22/81 and the drive train feels as free as one can get. Gear mesh a little snug but ill loosen that. Running a Novak 10.5 with Tekin RS boosted about 40%. Drag brake 20 pretty much what Tekin racers are running from their web site!
My temps are extreme Hot running 240 or better and obvious reasons my motor is slowing down due to heat.
Any suggestions?
Take boost out?
Smaller Pinion?
I know its going to be hard by not looking at the car but....im stomped!
Take boost off and drag brake off and run for 3 mins and see what temps are. If you are continually running 240 I would be surprised if the motor wasnt ruined already. Also check and make sure there are vent holes that allow the motor to get air. I know when I switched to the .1 with same gearing my motor ran hotter just because no air flows around the motor. the chassis traps the heat because there is no hole now.
I would then change a pinion if the motor is still hot.
and definitely make sure the mesh is not tight, it will make things hotter too. how big of a track?
