Andrew, who builds you engines??

 

excellent result

 

harvey gibbs
and that big numpty jimbo

 

Secret lottery winner ? thats impressive stuff

 

Fantastic to see!

How many other YBs are in the 800+ club out of interest?

 

Amazing work! Hope you don't get any teething problems when you put it in.

 

prob about 6 proper 800+ ones

 

excellent

 

800 bhp will do just fine... . That is gonna be mental round knockhill.

RW

 

Excellent. When's it first outing at knockhill?

 

eh watch your chops

 

good going that is jim where you allowed to help lol

it must be so frustrating that you and your dad could build one of these again no probs but you have to drive a car with low power due to insurance

id just build a red escos and put your plates on

 

i helped quite abit on this build was well happy when it went all OK

many years to come yet

 

I agree on that too

However a persons name should always begin with a capital Jacko


its Numpty !

 

 

thats ledge....

 

never mind the 800hp's, LOOK AT THAT TORQUE CURVE!!

what driveline will you use to kope with this?

 

ffd

 

i always wanted a gtk550 which one is that andrew?

 

If I ordered one of these tomorrow, how long would it take to build? and whats the most powerful engine SCS have built?



PS - I'm not going to lol

 

very good resultscant wait to see the flying machine go even faster

 

Jimbo - the last part of your post is a rare example of common sense from a young driver. Well played mate. Right attitude.

I started with 59bhp and learned how to rag it to death first, then std rsturbo and worked from there. Starting out with 400bhp isn't the way to do it.

Loving the engine and can't wait to see it in action

well impressive

 

Fuck TOTB Andy... what times the goal for the 'hill this year???

 

Congratulations Andy !!

Well done Harvey, Tim & Jimbo, the thing that always impresses me the most with SCS engines is the drive ability i had a 450bhp lump from them that would eat other tuners 500bhp lumps on the tight and twisties, im sure Andys car will be insane.

Quick question for Jimbo, who do you learn more off Tim or your Dad ? Design wise your Dad, build wise Tim i would guess, yay or nay.

 

Depends on what parts you already have and what you want doing etc..

I had my engine built from scratch brand new block etc took a couple months but i had alot of chroming, anodising, painting done outside SCS so didn't take long on there behalf.. if It was just a standard looking engine I would imagine half that time? maybe less dependent on work load.

 

from the word go from andy iiirc its been over 6months


i wouldnt say i learn more off any of them tbh, when in the engine room with tim i learn the building of the engines side of things,

when with the old chap i learn about all the machine work that has to be done, and how and why you decide on the parts used and the advantage disadvantage, also all the dyno and mapping side of things

so like you say bit of both

 

cool should be good to watch this kick a** at totb, top 5 finish?

 

Not trying to take anything away from SCS (as it obviously is a very powerful engine) but...

Surely running the engine on the dyno with ACTs that the car won't actually be able to achieve in real life is cheating just a little bit?

I for one would also be happier if it was mapped at real life ACTs. I have no doubt that T6 has very good ACT compensation tables if configured correctly but this means you might run into a situation where due to the higher ACT and also the fact the ecu may have knocked a degree or two off means the engine only ever makes 750 bhp in the car.

 

There is always one

 

Would just like to point out, the air temp on the dyno sheet is the dyno room cell temp not the act for the engine.

Engine was mapped at 40 degrees C.

Charge air retard for ignition in the map does not affect the ingnition untill 50 degrees C.

Jim

 

Awesome power - any ideas how much of a time saving this will translate to for KH lap times?

 

awesome power Andy! I can't even imagine how insanely fast the car is going to be with this bolted in!! I thought it was awesome at croft and it was like being in a roller coaster so this thing is just going to be unreal!! You owe me another passenger ride mate.............Oh and Kenny's head looks smaller than it did on saturday but that might have been the vodka

PS: Does anyone know if there is a car out there that someone makes that would have a power to weight ratio of 800hp/ton!? Would like to see this car against a veyron !!LOL

 

Great Andrew..

Im interested in its reliability at 800+ as Jimbo says lots more Power in their but difficult to know when to stop, we found the same.
What was the DINCor Factor.

Suggest it will be good for 208/209 if your carefull with the gearing as Power is dropping over 7.5K.

 

AWESOME! well done harvey and Jimbo.

Good luck with it at TOTB Andy.

Gutted I cant go now!

 

Great Numbers !!!


Looking forward to seeing this in action soon

 

awesome figures.havent saw kenny in years,remember him and big nige from many moons ago.

 

 

Thanks for clearing that up then Jim.

 

Sounds like a reasonable question to me.

Doug is just asking a perfectly valid question, he isnt bitching, its a genuine query, dont go viewing him the wrong way mate

Makes sense to me, after all the room temp is the one that effects any DIN correction, NOT the ACT after all.
Just badly labelled I guess
