Carlo :
Boost controller is now connected up, and any minute the mapping on pump fuel is going to commence.
Mark's just doing some mapping on lower boost levels now
Over 420lbft of torque at 1.5 bar of boost at 5 grand
516bhp @ 7500 on low boost on pump
All going nicely so far.
Bit of ignition mapping done now
530bhp @ 6500rpm @ 1.5 bar
2.2 bar of boost and its making 556bhp @ 5600rpm
PUMP still
631 @ 6500 rpm @ 2.2 bar
2.6 bar of boost 547bhp / 571 lbft @ 5 grand!
595 lbft now at same boost after some more tweaks
And 14 degrees of ignition advance still at that on pump!
610lbft now @ 5000rpm
still 14 degrees of advance too
Just made 703 bhp, still on pump fuel nd thats at 6140 rpm
737bhp @ 7120 and thats still with 14 degrees min advance
742 @ 7350
560lbft @ 4630
630bhp/601lbft @ 5500rpm MIDRANGE ANIMAL!

For anyone that knows, how far from a standard road spec Saff is Rod's car ?
I mean internally and structurally ? Its obviously a unique engine, but is the interior all stripped out and carbon fibre goodies ?

Final figure on 109 ron is 758bhp
Thats MEGA conservative on the ignition map and running slightly rich still.
We're going to swap the inlet manifold now for a different one Mark wants to try, but I dont think we're going to see any bigger figures, Mark just isnt interested in trying to push the numbers, more interested in just mapping it safe.
Shame cause I wanted to watch 800bhp lol, which it would SO obviously do but mark just isnt up for it as its now how he wants it to be in the car.
Maybe the new manifold will offer enough to see the 800 without having to dial more advance though, back in a bit!

Not running any nitrous, I was helping with changing the inlet, o-rings are a bit of a two man job when you are rushing and im quite used to making them up so was just giving mark a hand, but if you prefer though I can change it to "they" everytime I mention something in the future just so as not to offend you?
