As title, Will and I spent all night mapping it, got home at 2am, and we both agree that it is by far the nicest prepared and most competent all round sapphire we have ever been in.

Workmanship is all A1. it has absolutely NOTHING wrong with it at all, and the engine swallows 34psi on the T38 without dramas and pulls nicely to 7600rpm showing that its working very well indeed.

Top Job mate, you should be proud of your work and i thought it was worth a post as its rare i see a perfect Sapphire nowadays, very rare. Hope you enjoy the drive home to Holland this weekend, she should be ready for Friday afternoon.

 

WOW, high praise indeed.

I fucking hate saffs. I need to drive a good one to change my mind I think!

any pics Stu?

 

Hmmm need pics of this one!

 

well done then fella.

Stu out of interest, what would be the dramas of which you speak that cause boost difficulties(sp) please?
cheers.

 

that sounds like a nice car to get a write up like that!!

i guess the mapping is easier on quiet roads at 02 00?

 

So he's taken my title then Stu??

PMSL @ Porkie... with a passion you hate em don't you mate??

Great praise on what must be a fantastic car...

 

Why thank you very much guys.
Can't wait to pick it up again specialy after reading this.
Maybe you can take some pics and post them Stu?

Regards,
Johan.

 

Must be some car to get such praise from Stu

Steve.

 

Perhaps a nice 400bhp car to put up against those shonky BMs we keep hearing about .

 

In full agreement with Stu on this one - absolutely lovely car!

In fact as we pulled back into the industrial estate i made the comment "I can see what all the fuss was about"

One of the first cars to me that truly highlighted to me the actual capabilities of a properly built cosworth

Johan it is truly a credit to both you and John

 

Sounds like a superb car, fastest car I have actually been in was a white Saph, I really like the look of them when there mint too

 

bet that goes well then

 

What T38 is it ?

 

Nice work fella

 

It's a cr turbos roller bearing T38.

 

 

Awesome!

 

sounds tasty! pics

 

must be a nice saph then

 

Thanks for the kind words Will.
I done the best i could to get the car like this,glad you guys like my work.

 

Stu/Will, How early does the boost come in on this car with the roller-bearing turbo?

 

I will post up our datalog soon so you can see.

 

Chop, chop! Now THAT would be interesting .

 

Ok, hopefully this is self explanatory.
It is the datalog you will normally get from me when we do either a setup, adata diagnostic session or full live map. remember that boost is in absolute pressure, IE: we have 1.572bar of boost at 2934rpm. NOT 2.572.

Ah, found a way, uploading again in 800x600

 

That means nothing to me

If the TPS is reading the voltage why does it read about to 80+ ?

Sorry if I'm missing something totally obvious

 

Its in degrees mate, not volts. The way the system works max tps is around 80-85 degrees.

 

So is that 1.6 (ish) bar of boost by 2934rpm? What's peak boost on this car?

 

Peaks 34psi which is around 2.3 bar...

 

Must feel great on the road mate!?

 

Mine's only 28 at the moment Dan and that's nuts..


Well do Stu/Will

 

Feels really nice - sensible engine spec with a decent turbo - 'just right'

 

Tell us about the other bits that make up the (engine) spec

Whats the BHP estimate ?

WD

 

What is the reason for the dip in boost from 3400-3600?

 

I do know there are some good ones out there though

 

The onset of surge. Will be mapped out on later sessions this week. That run was to get the top end done while we had time and clear roads, the hard bit of boost curves and nice driveability (5th gear tractable from 20mph etc) is still to be done although we have got her running between 14 and 14.5:1 off boost everywhere with only 0.8% Co at idle, so it was a really productive night as that normally takes 2 nights. Wills mapping is coming along real well.

It will be lovely once we activate closed loop on it as well.*

* Shame the ALS and LC will likely eat the sensors regularly though.
Ha Ha.

 

Topic cleaned up as some of it was in bad taste considering the topic title...

 

There were no need for Lee's comments

The saff sounds very nice, get some pics up of it Stu

 

Took a few snaps of it. Looks better in the flesh.

 

Would be interesting to know the c/r, head and cam spec Johan?
