I was speaking to Alan yesterday and he just needs to wait until he had a few spare hours to put it on the rollers.


It will be interesting to see how the graph looks and what number pop up

Alan has a few different ideas regarding turbo tuning in regards to some others.

I dont want to lose any of the midrange as it makes a nice car on the road.

I would be over the moon with 500 ATW @8k running 2 bar with no loss of bhp at 4k.

Hope it does what you want mate! You've stuck by it!

Where will it end? 500 ATW seems to be your target!

Have discussed hanging a bigger turbo off the block but it will turn into something I dont want as it will defo lose response at expensive of top end power.


Its more than powerful enough at anything over 400 ATW but 500 would be fantastic

nah mate 190 is the goal.

remember this will be from a standstill to stopped agin within 1.7 miles.

If the runway was longer then who knows what speeds could be reached?

How have you seen airbox? you been down to AVA for a nosey?

Good luck with it bud..

You planning on brunters for this run?

Woodbridge is closer to 2 miles (nearer 2.2 if you include the area at each end where we all parked last year)

You would if your covering the ground at 180+mph

One day i'll know what it feels like but for now i'll just keep putting up with 1 problem after another on any top speed runs

Latest prob was the bonnet coming up at over 176 at totb.. luckily the safety catch got it got bonnet pins fitted now though.

I went to AVA today and got a few pics of the finished air box.

Its a PROPER job and looks awesome

This had to be fitted as we found the Rs500 box is a restriction at over 450 ATW

should be on rollers over the next few days mate.
Alan was busy mapping a skyline today so mine will have to wait.

I have never heard off the extra drag on morrettes?

They will be removed for the top speed runs if thats the case.
