im doing ok mate, hope your well, would have been nice to get over to brands and have a chat with you but cant make it due to being in the week unfortunately !

ill pop you a pm in a sec regarding turbo mate

It's Czech Mate

Because thats somehow jim and Harvey's fault isnt it

Just treat the bloke like the cunt he clearly is and stay friends with the other guys with the same interest. I'm sure Mark and Harvey dont have all this hate for each other

oh dear.another one thurned to crap.but if im honest i cant ever see this ending.as long as there is more than one tuner it always will happen

SiZT

I'd suggest you look at the Borg Warner range of turbo's

WALOB!!!
These threads just get worse, why do people have to spoil them!!

Its Dave

iTrader: (4)

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

JonnyBravo

Can you explain what Open Scroll is please Mark ?

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.

SiZT

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

timrud

What 1/4 mile times have you done in it?

Its Dave

iTrader: (4)

Old engine 11.4


Have not been to Santa Pod with new engine yet

timrud

Get on it!

Must be a 10 at 135+++++

RC4

well done dave for the power YUM is putting out,must have cost some time and money !!!! did you ever test the gt3 porsche you was on about?
hope you do hit the 200m.p.h mark mate

Cossie Helen

iTrader: (1)

Nah, he bottled out of selling Yum ! I think she will be with us for a long time yet !

JonnyBravo

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.

Cossiemaster

huh YUM is that his name???????

SassyRS

are you for real?

Rod-Tarry

No !!!!
M397 YUM is the number plate of the second Fastest Escort Cosworth still in existence .

carlo

iTrader: (4)

Has no other escort in the world done over 194 mph? even in sweden ect?

Chip

iTrader: (3)

Jimbo, Daves main interest is Top Speed, so when asked why he choose MAD over SCS, it seems fair enough to me to quote that MAD have a better record for top speeds so far with cossies than SCS as a reason to make that choice?

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.

Chip

iTrader: (3)

Only ones Ive ever heard of are Dave's and Martin's two.

I dont think the swedish lads really try top speeds on runways TBH

It's Czech Mate

Even if they had, doing in in the confines of brunters is a real test and not the same as doing it on a longer runway

carlo

iTrader: (4)

Cool wasnt disputing it was just wondering

timrud

Brunters only matters to people on here, I'm sure people from abroad don't give a fuck!!!!

carlo

iTrader: (4)

I was just wondering if what rod said was true! it being the 2nd quickest in existance thats all as its a bold statment & if it is good on martin & dave

It's Czech Mate

Its just a good repeatable measure

Chip

iTrader: (3)

Depends where you mean in terms of abroad, the salt flats in the states have a massive following of "top speed" fans, the standing mile is another popular one over there and something else that Rod and Martin and Dave etc would do pretty well at.

Chip

iTrader: (3)

Standing mile is better IMHO as it doesnt add extra MPH as a result of bigger brakes or bigger balls, so is a more pure indicator of straight line performance in that respect.

But yes, its certainly a reasonable benchmark.

Danny @ Enhanced Performance

iTrader: (3)

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

Danny @ Enhanced Performance

iTrader: (3)

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

turnover

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

Rod-Tarry

Yes its true unless you know differently.

Martin 200.2mph
Dave 194.2mph

Martins first Escort was faster (just) but was destroyed on the gumball.

CossieRich

iTrader: (1)

Hope to see a head to head - Dave against Martin. Would be a brilliant battle

Rod-Tarry

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%.
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.

james kiely

iTrader: (5)

rod

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

cheers james

Ollie.

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

Its Dave

iTrader: (4)

Maybe that will happen in December, king of the rollers @ Martins Dyno

Mark Shead

Wasnt the turbo Gav had brought from Dave, If it was it was not twin scroll, Do you have a picture of the exhaust inlet.

Mark

Rod-Tarry

I dont need to challenge anyone they have to do the challenging.
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 .
