Nice car

 

Nice car.
Come on, up with the dyno graph.

 

I'm still waiting for some power guesses at the above boost pressures .

 

weener LOL

 

Here we go Mike.........just for your entertainment

12 psi = 390 BHP

15 psi = 430 BHP

18 psi = 460 BHP

23 psi = 490 BHP

Close??????????

 

nice power there Mr. Rainbird I'll tell you Sottish boys but I fear my gearbox will be destroyed as an act of revenge

 

mike what about t4s being old dynosaurs you have avodied the queston

 

561 bhp and 493 newton

end of tease

 

Chris - I gave your gearbox SO much respect you would not believe it - Ask Lambchop! got to mikes then he just abused the hell out it the whole time we were with him

 

i take it thats the power it made at 23 psi. wot about the other boost figures you wanted people to guess at power wise?

 

It's all really nice apart from that shite bufty oil cap!!

Wouldn't like to open that up when hot

 

Doug,
Not bad .

A little high on the first, second and third, but too low on the fourth... .


Turbinator is WRONG .

 

As a prize (also for being the only one to guess) can I have a 50% discount on my next R & B purchase?

 

yeah chris he was pretty good actually...only crunched 3rd once when we were chasin that subaru.think it only crunched cos the limiter had kicked in and he got a scare

was fun tho

 

12 psi = 374.3 bhp

15psi = 408.3 bhp

18psi = 453.0 bhp

23psi = 523.1 bhp

A bit better than a T4 don't you think Doug ?

 

ROFLOL

You lying bas chop!!!! I was a bloody angel in that car.... still dont know why mikes neighbours were stood swearing at us as we approached his little village..... errrrrr.

Not like my run in your pug last night chop - I admit to totally trying to rip the arse clean out out it and racing everything in sight LOL

 

Yes, impressive Mike, and less lag than a T4? A lot less lag????

 

You're a better man than me then....I would have kicked the crap out iof it!!!

 

mike
maybe now you should know the true story of the window chip...twas the subaru

 

Dont worry chris - I'll take the missed chance out on chops pug..... infact - wonder if he needs it this weekend lol

 

FACKIN HELL!!!! - I thought it pinged off the wall when we were doing the donuts chop!

 

Chop,
He's a "see you next tuesday", so it's what I expect - NEVER-EVER trust a Weegie .

Doug,
Is difficult to say, as the boost has been capped for reliability / traction. Unless you have a power reading for a T4 at 26psi @ 3500pm?

 

it was a fookin white van JUST as i joined the dualer out of peterburough that pinged the screen! lol

 

yeah right .

 

Looks like I got a pair of fannies on my hands LOL - chop you'll be dealt with when you get home LOL

gits! but as you believe it mike i will have to with draw the offer of a shot of my car as i just dont trust you LOL

And before you start it does fooking drive cause i'm going to see it tomorrow

 

Here we go!! - Mike, is there a GT30 with an internal wastegate?????

 

I can see your car just by looking out the window . Oh no, my mistake, that's just the scrap metal skip .

 

As it happens Mike I do:

EngSpd 1/min: 3540
EngTrq 1b-ft: 256.6
EngPwr B.H.P: 172.8
OIL P.S.I: 51
BOOST P.S.I: 15
Wtr In C: 75
AirTmp C: 17
BaroP kPA: 101.78
Lambada A/F: 12.7

Edited to say that the above was with the Amal Valve fitted......
Deffo feels A LOT stronger low down with the Gready boost controler that is on now!

 

...... oh you have really blown it now LOL

 

Well the GT30 makes 27psi at those revs (it just climbed from 26psi before Harvey captured the reading) and on this engine made 316lbft and 219bhp. Obviously it could make considerably more if the boost was turned up, as the turbo would produce the 32psi at these revs . So is obviously a LOT less laggy than a T4....

 

...... so about this time when you were standing beside your beloved saff outside the video shop - key fob in hand.......

 

yes kev i will order one now

 

Do NOT get the GT30 with the integral wastegate - if it is the one I have been told about, it uses a bored out 0.63 a/r housing and so the compressor and turbine are a complete mismatch. The housing is also so thin, that I bet it doesn't last longer than 5 minutes . The proper GT30 as built by Garrett is a fantastic match .

 

Fook off Brom, I was *only* enquiring!!!!

 

mike,
so its safe to say that it comes on full boost a good 500rpm before a T4 and therefore has the same power band as an engine that revs to over 8k?

 

Justin,
Yes. Would be lovely on your engine - would bolt straight on as well (without going internal) and would give you another 40bhp, but more importantly, extend you power band . Would just need to be mapped on dyno obviously.

 

thought mike wouldnt be able to drive it for the complete OPPOSITE of why watty cant drive it? APMSL

 

That took me a few secs to get! OMG PMSL!!!!

ps - turbo sounds too good to be true

 

Chop,
Marty reckons that the reason RW isn't going to get a shot is because he has no experience of rwd, so you're saying I have too much experience?
