right then , just finished a 31/2 year build on my cossie and went for a spin today to find any potential teething problems.
anyway it turns out that my boost controller wont play ball and was only giving me 1.5 bar.
so estimates please on a standard engine with a harvey spec t38, 500 cooler, mongoose etc as it felt quick but not that quick![Sad](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)

stu map in ecu on 83lb siemens als, lc, closed loop, coilpack etc.
tbh i thinks the combination of 235 eagles , an adjustable beam and a quaife atb on a hot day has me doubting the power ,
the fecking traction is unbelievable for a 2wd car.

i am bored. and after only ten miles . tbh im not sure if im getting too much traction or if its down to the cam timing being out.
im on a hks evc but might tryb the amal valve tomorrow to se what it produces . will try the timing first though.
dont get me wrong, its quick as it is but it takes quite a while to spool up.
will see what tomorrow brings .
but to put it into context ..... i hold the lc button at what im told is 4k (rev counter not back from speedy cables yet) dump the clutch and it just bogs down. no need for lc at all today. dumped the clutch at 6k and still no wheel spin just bog for a sec then spool

as i said earlier this is a stu setup and on a 1000 mile engine .
everything weight matched and dynamic balanced.
will grab an old amal valve now and see what it does for me .
i reckon im short of .4 of a bar off my max safe boost so hopefully it will make the difference
