Well looks like it wont be too long for the next hike in power
Would love to have all set up by December for the charity day at Reylands Rolling Road
Think the concern is the Bara box and if it will take the next level, we will see

The turbo I sold Danny was a GT4088 twin scroll journal bearing, from what I could see it was the same as Rods old spec although I expect you may of made some small alterations to the stuff you supply and use.

Open scroll means not twin scroll. I'm guessing this is the trubo off gav's LET engine, whats he using now?

I guessed thats what it meant, Mark obviously missed that it was a twin scroll unit. It was gavs old one, he is now on a GT4094R although the engine isn't in the car yet but he hopes it will be by the end of the year so who knows how it will perform.

who has the quickest cars round a track ? quater mile ? 0-60, 100 what ever it makes NO difference ! what difference does it matter who people use as a tuner, and why does everyone have to react and have a dig at the other tuners, no need really.
alot of people on this thread need to get over this "my tuner better at this" getting boring

Just like Im sure Andy would quote that SCS are proven on track YB wise where MAD arent (although obviously MAD have won time attack with an evo etc so im sure Mark COULD do it with a YB, just like im sure SCS if they had a customer wanting to COULD do a top speed car)
I think you took that to heart when dave was just responding to a specific query, it wasnt dave that brought up SCS, it was that troll fella.

im not real clued up on turbos just normaly get them specced by vince at cr turbos...but i have bought and fitted loads and today after marks comments i looked closer at my gt40 and its deffo twin scroll...when you say journal bearing does that mean big bearing and not roller bearing???as iv only ever used them terms...i will go through my options with harvey when iv got my engine ready for dynoing...just dont want any un needed lag but want more power..cheers danny

its a good measure for any one bothered but not everyone can be bothered...not taking anything away from the ppl that have done it but its only comparable to them cars not any other cars in europe unless they come to brunters wich i expect they wont be bothered just like myself...straight line shit aint for everyone thats for sure!!cheers danny

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
surely with that gearbox dave you cant be expecting any descent quarter times,as with the torque you have will surely snap the choclate shaft,depending on how much grip you have ovcorse

Anyone can brag that its easy to eclipse the record but if its that easy why does it still stand 5 years after it was set.

Sorry Danny but the guys in Europe know all about the Topspeed record ive been challenged by them to a shootout at Brunters but as yet they aint appeared. A certain Mag has told me several times this is the year they will appear. Power is only about 50% of what Topspeed is about i know ive studied it in detail, use of collected data & experience counts for the other 50%.

how much percentage wise do you estimate your car has improved since you set the record 5 years ago?

How you can challenge then to a shootout when you're car isnt ready is beyond me? No wonder they havent appeared.

If they name the date my car will be there .
I dont need to finish my car at this time without a date to work towards. Im happier pottering in my garden than racing around in fast cars these days all that stopped about 4 years ago .
