AFPMSL. I take it this is 'turbos' mate?

So, Severn Valley were doing 170mph in a 1600CVH?

turbo

looked on them tsw venom's or was that the grey one
no but in all due respect it was one of the most talked about rs turbo's at the time not many were knocking out 300+ 10 YEARS back cossie management or not. just a question so dont jump on your high horse but do you think you could have done what you have with your car 10 years back without the technologly you have now???

Christian and Beccy

No, but the point is, did it actually make 300bhp? Or was that a dyno figure from someones 30-year-old poorly calibrated dyno?

300bhp is a much harder figure to hit than people realise and I'd be surprised if their car did it atall.

this is TURBO posting sorry for my pal's input people christian steve my "work" mate has spend an arm & leg at sevenvally when he had he's rs turbo & can't stand people slaging their car's off ( dont know why they not up to much at the mo are they ) oh they put a turbo engine in a KA he's very good freind's with them so find's it hard when people take the mick out of the company think we would do the same if some folk were to talk & laugh at one of our mates. but he's on lunch now so your all safe back to the topic if you want to.

To the REAL turbo - No worries, no hard feelings to you.

To the FAKE turbo - My opinions of Severn Valley come from having been involved in the RS Turbo scene for quite a few years and having attended quite a few events. I have not yet seen a Severn Valley car back up any of the claims made and like anyone that makes a claim that they can't back up, they were discredited. It's not a personal attack on Severn Valley, but as a tuner, if you make these bold claims then you need to be able to back them up, or pipe down about it.

Gotta agree 100% with Christian on this. Some rediculous figures have come out on here in the past bearing in mind the mods they have listed.

If its for a road car and not a track/race car i would concentrate more on producing the torque figures but thats just my opinion.

turbo

no problem christian respect i'm off back to work & i'll make sure i log out this time

Oh man,

Looks like someone who has spent a bit of £'s with severn valley is a little pissed off

I used to live near to severnvalley motorsport back in the mid 90's and they were one of the main ford tuners along side turbosystems, castle and sue collins in the north west.

All the cars in question were animals - the black and grey cars i don't know the exact figures for. But according to the feature on Nathan's 300bhp car it goes something like this:

1600 cvh knife edge - custom pistons & rids
svm secret head and kent 35
MFI using a S1 ecu
charge cooler
Hybrid boosting 30psi

I would say that someone along the line told a little porky as we all know that MFI is not engineered to match 30psi.

Christian and Beccy

iTrader: (14)

Also, I can't imagine ANY sort of Chargecooler being able to cool 30psi for anything more than a 0-60 sprint.

If you compare that broad spec to what mine (or indeed any other 300+bhp CVH) has, it just doesn't look possible that these cars were even 250bhp, let alone 300.

orion turbo

actually the car is in the rs turbo collectors special from perfomance ford.

spec;
8v cvh, one off custom fuel rail and braided fuel lines, k-jetronic fueling, ported & polished efi head, power enginering cam, forged 7.6-1 comp pistons, h section steel rods, en40b steel crank, wire rung block, pace chargecooler with water spray, custom made forge impreza top mount intercooler, erl water injection, grey 5th injector (mf2 mappable), superchip, blitz boost controler, -34 actuator, stage 3 hybrid t3 with .48 exh housing, magnex system

peaks 23psi , holds 22 psi 330bhp and 298lb/ft (dyno proven 300+)still on mfi



so please dont treat me like a noob because i have a lack of post on this forum iv had my fair share of fast fords.

Christian and Beccy

Stage 3 T3 with 0.48 housing, low comp, 330bhp at 23psi?

When Tony's doesn't do that at 30psi on a T34/0.48.

orion turbo - My replies are not against you......

orion turbo

sorry not bitin ur head off coz im new to the site people seem to think u know jack shit coz ur new!

i just read it in the rs turbo special mag take a look.

its the one with the scooby bonnet vent and (gay) e-tec spoiler

page 48

T28 RST

I would say a genuine 220 @ the wheels would be your max along with tweaked fuel pressure.

Anymore than that and you would be aswell with aftermarket managment.

As Christian said there is a hell of a lot of bullshit figures out there

T28 RST

I know the car your on about, nice car but you will find some people add some BHP on when the mag comes to do a feature

Dont believe everything you read

orion turbo

its just a bit sad if people do that to be honest

or hes just had a dodgy dyno operator!

BRAMMER

At the end of the day you wouldn't bother using the standard MFI system on a big engine conversion especially with the price of aftermeket managements being more affordable than ever.

How much does the basic omex system good enough to setup an rst cost??

Tony Turbo

Oi!


The piece of shit does fuck all at the moment.

orion turbo

i would have to say youd get a bit more power then that.

my old s2 managed 231bhp at the wheels with out a 5th injector or raised fuel pressure all i used was a modifyed metering unit from castle performance and set at 22psi boost

so with a 5th or even 6th injector and more boost i rekon 300bhp is achievable at the fly anyway

Red_bull

i think it's not only the fuell that wil limit you to get to that big amount off bhp

T28 RST

Will totally depend on which rolling road you goto

matt p

Needs to be a TUV approved one though

orion turbo

mine was done at power engineering

Oranoco

Mine makes 260 at 25psi on a stage 3 T3 with .48 so can't see how those figures can work out.

Mine's proved itself at Brunters and on a DynoDynamics rolling road so I'm happy. Must get to my Mum's and see if it's still there
