I just think the figures claimed are slightly 'inflated'

Which figure looks inflated to you mate?

Its blatantly someone off Mig, i can tell that from reading the spec "tfs mod" LOL

Its actually a mod me and TFS got off trevor from wizards of nos and he shared with the forum.



the 312 is REALLY pushing it on the standard turbo, but its possible.

the on gas figures seem a bit low, it would be gaining more than that if i set it up for him!

Shings

Terminals seem low for BHP

I couldnt possibly comment on that without knowing what car it is in.

If its still in a calibra turbo, i would say they look about spot on.

Big G

The figure without Nitrous and has just pump the nitrous figure ontop of that.

Its in an Astra GSi with a half of B+Q's MDF in the boot for the stereo

Anonymous

Yeah you are probably right about just assing the nitrous "jetted amount" on to get the on gas figures.

If its setup properly it should be over 400bhp on that spec


I normally get about 100bhp out of a 75-80 bhp jetted amount on a XE/LET

I'm guessing this is Brens pile of poo... LOL

Yes the power figures are plausable... quite easily infact! But the performance times do not match the stated power, which is where the inconsistancy lies....

timrud

And I've noticed its got an ATB diff... oh dear!

At his claimed 392bhp and a quaife diff I've done the same in my car with a hell of a lot less power and an standard diff

Stavros

This is that guy that came and posted on here at one time, and talked crap, and got slagged, isnt it?

fords4fun

i take it hes running front wheel drive and you say he has weight in the boot that would make traction a serious problem

timrud

Yeah Steve thats him...... had the cheek to slag one of my mates cars too.... when he hasn't got a clue himself

Big G

Did a blonde bird used to own the car a few year back Tim

timrud

Nah, I think he built it himself to be honest?

What colour is it?

Anonymous

Tim, having run with and without a quaiffe diff in a nova with nearly 300bhp, i cant honestly say that on decent driveshafts it actually makes very little difference to it in a straight line, so i cant see it effecting his time much.


Biggest thing killing his times is those 18" rims i should think.

Bet his 60fts are 2.4+

Big G

White, used to see a Bird knocking about in 1 up near Ikea in the good ole days, tasty piece, worthy of embracing my girth with her mouth

timrud

You reckon Chip?

I'm looking forward to seeing what difference the diff makes to mine...

TFS

lol, i did sell bren that rotor arm so i guess it is a TFS rotor arm

i have asked many times for people to call it the noswizard mod though (also had it changed on max-boost.co.uk) but people keep calling it the TFS mod for some reason..
