has it been back to the dyno again yet?

thought they were aiming for about 10 days since last one

would love to know what they've got out of it this time.

 

going back on the dyno Monday,and i cant wait for the results

 

Monday still the plan as far as im aware, i'll be popping along so will give some updates on here.

 

cool. thats 5 mins away from mine, i assume they will use Norris as usual?
(not that i'll be going along lol)

 

yes Norris dyno. Cant wait

 

Yes deff Monday.I will be there from 830.

Mark

 

want to meet for some breakfast?

 

MC donalds8am 3miles from Simon, If coming on M4 you will drive past it.

Mark

 

indeed. i assume thats where you stopped last time when you were so far ahead of me an Dave

see you there.

 

 

bugger, im working down guildford way on monday or else i may have popped in

good luck all

 

Mark,

Out of interest, does Simon Norris get at all involved when you are at his dyno?

I was wondering whether he showed any interest in the cosworth engine and maybe whether you guys share ideas? Bringing together of two good engine builders would be quite interesting.

Cheers and good luck on Monday

RW

 

Mark what comp ratio this time round??

 

He built a very good power one for an old user on here.
and IMO was probably one of the quickest cosworths that was never proven... mainly because it kept spitting gearboxes and diffs out lol

I dont pretend to know Norris, but friends of mine do, and he IS interested in other engines apart from evos... for example he has helped out a mate of mine with his RS turbo plenty over the last year, and continues to do so! (1600 still!)

 

This car.. and was 632 bhp.. so not shy, especially as this was done few years ago now.

 

GOOD LUCK

 

Sometimes he runs the dyno but mostly Dave his engine biulder does,
We do talk about engines but neither of us talk to many details on them, Useally we just have a piss taking competion and who's making the tea.

Mark

 

The owner of that car will probably be their on Monday, making the tea hes a mate of Simons. I loved the front bumper on that car, but he sold it before I could get my mits on it. Nice car but sold before all the niggles could be sorted.

 

8.4-1.

Mark

 

Rod,

what front bumper was on that?

 

It is a nice thing, l have spoke to Simon a fair few times and he is very friendly and down to earth and happy to talk and so is Mark so l can not see why they would not talk, also Simon built Moses engine and Mark mapped it on Autronic so they have worked together

Mike

 

One that I wanted , not sure of its name.

 

un-usual for you not to get want you want Rod, you obviously didnt try hard enough see you monday

 

Dont know the no the name ether but looked good

 

isnt it a storm or something like that

 

Rod. Nick sold the whole shell to spence, who may well be there monday too
(sure you know spence) so if you can try and get it out of him then? LOL
And yeah, Nick is usually up there, has popped in to ask if anyone wants tea whenever ive been there!
one of the nicest blokes in the world ii'd say!

 

the bumper looks like a modified version of the one in the combat kit?

 

iirc its the PSG combat kit as twellsie said.

im sure spence will sell the bumper, hes never gonna get the car running again

 

engine is supposed to be going on the dyno as soon as rods comes off!

 

Didnt Simon Norris build Steve Fitzpatricks high comp YB fo rhis escort time attack car?

It lasted about 5mins did it not?

 

would that be the one that he destoyed himself by changing to 2nd instead of 4th???

 

Did he?

I thought it melted?

 

im fairly sure he did one by changing to the wrong gear while they were still out mapping it.. but im sure rod or soemone will know more.

 

All the best for monday.

IIRC Steve Fitzpatricks engine did melt, he may of destroyed the engine more than once though, it happens

 

ah fair play then, i didnt think he an engine for it, cap in my ass, yo

 

that bumper looks minging imo, but will be very effective at allowing air into the cooling pack

 

I was one of the few to go out in this beast

Please say hello to Nick for me

Paul

 

I 'll pop in tomorow as my engines going on dyno after rods as for the car looks a bit different now more conservative, front bumper is a modified combat bumper, have meshed holes in now so you cant see hoses and moved number plate in front of intercooler probably going to paint intercooler black as well

 

Ive heard some news about the engine....
is there any other posts?

edit.. ignore that! just seen it!
