coco is under the knife lol as far a i know - been in texas for 2 months.

Power figures are only on a standerd decompressed 2wd engine. Dont want to put them up as cant be bothered with the arguements about head flow/ max hp, rah rah rah but they were very good and car pulled like stink which was good fun

Too hard a crowd to impress in here so i just take it chilled when it comes to my own car, if not i would have gone mental by now

Its just the refreshing attitude that you and AVA have took towards this project and I respect that. Its the same with Martins (reyland) engine its something different really and I know they are 2 totally different things like costs etc but i just think it would be interesting to know about the power. But if you want to not tell anyone like you said in the statement above because of the head flow etc as mentioned I TOTALLY 100 percent respect that.
Hows Karls going because hes doing this with a GT30 and GT40 turbo?

Ask karl as i wouldnt have a clue lol

I just dont need the snipes etc, lifes easy and i dont want to get dragged into arguements and personal insults - been there done that unfortuantely. Now I respect there are many ways to skin a cat and enjoy seeing different things - dont get me wrong everyone should have their own views but negative stuff is best kept to yourself I believe.

Also my car is AVAs ideas and work - I cant take credit for it. We would rather have times etc to back up any specs as its the only thing really worth talking about in my eyes.

Sorry for being an arse with the figs but i try not to ram my car up everyone so its not like i have been teasing!

Stavros

Well i fucking love your car, so PM me updates, bollocks to the rest of em

steve - the car is a mildew brown dented peeling mess just now lol the engine bay is pretty trick though lol

Honestly should never have put pics up as the expection is insane from what i have heard - its just a toy If it does something cool I'll report back - pretty simple.

Using the standard engine was a political nightmare as it did a lot better than probably even we expected lol

James-W

Same here. Well you deserve some of the credit Martin because your car was used as the test bed. If you pm'd me the power output I would be happy as Im thinking of doing something like that. Oh and I would not tell anyone but if you want to keep it a secret I respect that.

My only advice would be dont do it!

Reduce your rear tyre width, fit huge intercooler and radiator and you'll get lots of smiles lol hindsight or whatever its called.... steve will tell you about it and RB30 conversions probably lol

Stavros

Its not power outputs i care about, im just interested about the spoolup characteristics etc etc of using the staged setup

Me too lol - on the rollers - looks awesome - full boost on the 88 at 4k or something - cant remember exactly as not seen them in ages but it was stupid low. On the road feels good - but how good is it actually? I'm not sure so going to be doing some tests in friends cars over the next couple of weeks, different spec cossies etc then get a real world comparison.
Probably just video through gear 2 k roll ons or something and take gearing nito account etc

Its a good excuse to arse about and pretend to be technical
