Dont always agree with Mike, but certainly he aint on my dislike list, only 2 people on that & they dont use this Forum these days.

So where's my PM

Shame the head wont stay on if you gave it 30 degrees of ignition and some 120 RON, imagine the torque it would have made

MadRod · 01-12-2008, 06:46 PM

The engine is complete, well the one thats going on the Dyno is.
Bit unhappy I could not get the bits from the States in time, last contact was last Thursday, away for thanksgiving so no idea if my bits been sent or not. If it has it will be here on Thursday if not no idea, its all too late to plan in. So we wont know if my £923 would have worked or not

This thread has confused me

Can you break down the Spec of your engine Rod? Or will that have to wait til another day?

Well, we decided last week to have a change of Spec involving parts from the States, they arrived last Thursday but certain parts were not correct.
I rang on Thursday but it was Thanksgiving so not at work, he said he would try to sort it over the weekend & send it Monday. However hes not answering his phone so dont know if that happened if it did we could in theory change things on Thursday but we cant really wait so the engine has been built to Similar Spec as last time with higher compression 8.7 : 1 & a higher Power rated Turbo, called a fake GT45 cos its in a 42 case size.

Hope that sorts out the confusion, on the other hand im now confused.

.

Paul_RS · 01-12-2008, 08:18 PM

Ahhh right, that makes far more sense, a lot easier to read when there is no bitching added

Well i hope everything goes to plan for you!

costina · 01-12-2008, 08:24 PM

when is the big day??

MadRod · 01-12-2008, 08:40 PM

Have just heard from Honk (not kidding thats spelt right) in the States, hes had trouble sourcing the part & has ordered one which is due to him tomorrow morning if he gets it he will ship straight away & if all goes well will be with me on Thursday. Cant fault this guy hes paying to have it shipped express & told me not to worry about the bits I have.

.

Dyno is Friday.

andy escos · 01-12-2008, 09:09 PM

good luck rod hope every thing works the way you want top work on a top motor

carlo · 01-12-2008, 09:10 PM

The battery gone in mine

, but will con the missus camera & take a shot tomorrow if I remember.
Not sure about the Dyno as I expect Top gear mag will be there, im sure Chip will keep the world informed

.

carlo · 01-12-2008, 09:52 PM

Nice one be good to see it

CossieRich · 02-12-2008, 08:07 AM

Roll on Friday

MadRod · 03-12-2008, 03:38 PM

The 3 Turbos shown will be used on the Dyno, winner takes all.
The one on the engine is a GT42/94 (used last time) which is smaller than the GT42/08 (FAKE gt45) thats on the right, in the centre is the new mystery part sourced from the States. If the independant tests against the Garrett are to be believed it spools quicker than the GT42/94 & makes more Power than the GT42/08. Its more efficient than the Garrett or so they say, but our independant tester does agree that it works as suggested, we shall see. I will have 2 rather large Turbos for Sale after this Dyno session

.

ps. Those following the saga of the bit from the States, well it didnt arrive & wont for 8 more weeks

,
E-mailed Simon pictures of the fancy exhaust housing sent & he will cobble up a solution for the Dyno run & we will worry about fittment in the car later. Thats if it wins of course or it may go in the bin

.

dan le moignan · 03-12-2008, 03:41 PM

Good luck on the day!

Mike Rainbird · 03-12-2008, 04:01 PM

carlo · 03-12-2008, 04:09 PM

WOW

cant wait to hear how you get on

Chip · 03-12-2008, 04:51 PM

Really looking forward to seeing this on friday

J1mbo · 03-12-2008, 05:42 PM

those turbos big enough

good luck friday

I didnt know either. This looks like your "official" topic and it has nothing about that on it so why would anyone know?

You have reminded me not to ask in future either if thats the response i could expect!
