i dont know how many people just hide out in this room so i thought i would post it.

I would like to bring youre attention to dennis's Project post


https://passionford.com/forum/showth...=206048&page=8

He is clearly stating that he has had 550 HP at the Flywheel with a t38 turbo.

Am i missing something here but i thought this was just humanly not possible.

he is actually saying that he thinks he will break the 600 hp figure with that turbo. Now i know i am not dennis 's biggest fan anyway so maybe i am just blinkered

So i ask is this possible?

And is there any proof that it is definately not possble.

I mean why pay all that money for a gt35 when you can buy a standard T38 and produce 600HP

Please bear in mind he did build my mostrosity of an engine that martin will vouch would never of done what he quoted it would.

Would be good to hear the more respected tuners views on this.

 

I always thought a T38 was a 450bhp turbo personally?

 

Apparently because he high comp and his head flows 28% better or something it means that he gets 550hp out of his t38

Sounds far fetched.

Mike has offered him a race lol.

 

Who's Dennis?

Why should I care?

 

who gives a fuck..

 

It doesn't matter how efficient he has made the engine.. the turbo will only FLOW so much air.. the better the engines VE, the lowest boost is required to flow the same amount of air.. a T38 will not flow that much air, end of, simple.

Frankly it's not looking good against TDI's reputation if their hub dyno is giving out such absurd figures.

 

Who ever does not care dont post... Surely thats not hard to understand.

if everyone was to post everytime they didnt give a fuck as you put it there would be a hell of a lot of shit posts.

 

Mikes comment was pure quality tho,the figure of 550bhp is horse shit lol

 

I looked at his thread the other day and noticed his quoted figures but didn't mention anything as I thought maybe it was a T4 inside!! Now I notice he say's it is standard spec

Question for Dennis... What colour is the sky on the planet you're on ??

 

shall i get the tea and biscuits out now, or save for later? maby he could get it dynod on martins new dyno?

 

Thanks Martin, I thought it just wasnt possible.

Only really want to clear it up as he lives right by me and want to know what im up against if i ever am sitting next to him anywhere.

Hopefully i will get the opertunity to see just how powerfull 550 hp t38 is in a bit of 0-60 run...

Well said Rs Steve. Can anything be dynod at youres martin or is it just fords? i ask as im going to be in youre neck of the woods in two weeks and still not had the car on the dyno.

 

Fuck that... I want to put my Escort on their dyno I will gain an extra 150hp

 

link to the thread?

 

Anything!! We have from a quad to an LS1 powered Range Rover on there

 

In my first post mate. Pm me prices martin if you can do it.

 

bttt

 

there you go:

have a good laugh
now i think i'am going the T38 route

 

Power runs with a graph are Ł50 plus vat... But I will pay the fee for Dennis if he wants to prove me wrong..

 

why do people have to question peoples figures? let him say what he wants.

I'm a pro footballer on facebook

 

i noticed and commented on this the other day !
i was sooo shocked i thought maybe rainbum may have an awnser ! he said he must have nos ! 550hp on a t38 with 1.8 bar

 

the thing is i think his spec is not far from what he built for me martin so the figures are very impressive.

is it completely impossible because in all the who harr of my build he said oh everyone will tell you its not possible with youre setup and the way youre engines built but they are prehistoric tuners.

The future is different and youre engine will produce the power you want.

His engine certainmly is producing the power if the dyno is reading correctly.

But i think projecting 600hp on a T38 is the icing on the cake isnt it?

 

The dyno is giving false figures for some reason..

 

Good. Everyone i know in the area or talk to about TDI have got the same view

God knows how they are still trading.

There dyno is supposed to be best that money can buy!

 

im gonna take my 1.4 escort there and hope for 150 hp

 

I just wanna see him in it at our local traffic light grand prix and see what its really like.

Thing is its so clean because no one evr sees it, The thing is hardly ever driven.

 

You down tuning it?

Benni.

 

 

MSN Jim!

 

harvey told me a t38 maxed at 460ish ? would need a t4 or a gt35 to make that sort of power ,, a t38 is going on my new road car engine great little turbos..

 

This Dennis has a bad rep, cant be good for business. As for that engine he built for you, well that was nothing short of a joke really. Thankfully after much effort and commitment its all looking good now.

 

WOW i am popular !!! LOL

anyway... as it seams there's some confusion.. let me help...

first the Roto test dyno i tested the car on is very accurate.. and calibratable.. if i put 100nm on the pack it will see 100nm or 500 or 1000.. what ever i put on it, it will ACURATELY READ..

testament to this, as some my be aware, i am in employee of Torque Developments, and we do various power verifications for motorsport. ( where before being allowed to race the competitors need to come to be power tested ) anyway i have tested cars to within 0.5 BHP form the dyno cell to random spot tests, track side.

anyway back to my project.. the figures i have achieved are what they are, i have nothing to hide or prove. My car is my pride and built for me, for fun.. nothing more.. nothing less..









Please note that the pressure trace in in absolute... and that I'm unhappy with the surge at 4.5K and will be dealing with this when i get the time..

 

420bhp isn't the 550bhp mentioned at the start of this thread? What are your thoughts on this Dennis?

 

just want to add, that the 550 number was a guide to fly figures as any,one who has read my post will understand, as my readings are HUB figures and fly will vary with losses.

as for more, well i have done testing with E85, and seen 40 ish bhp gains. so if anyone has done tests with the YB to this spec on E85, and found differently. Your views are welcome..

Night night...

 

Dam beat me to it LOL

 

Yes, please help us, as there is some confusion

 

550 at the fly? Are you on crack? My T4 saff running 38Psi must be near 800 BHP then

 

Who has a 4x4 Cossie that has had the engine dyno'd on a proper dyno and then had it rolling roaded or hub dyno'd what were you ACTUAL losses?

 

550 @ fly on a T38?????????????????

 

 

Dennis- So are you saying that by magic E85 allows you to produce more power even though the airflow is the same?
