Is it done yet?

 

No mate, Stu emailed me tonight, they are having problems controlling the boost even with air injectors they are getting 40psi of boost at 4k up. I've got every confidence in them sorting it though.
I've got my fingers crossed for Sat

 

Just read all this over the last couple of nights.

Excellent build.

Really looks a stunning car fella.

I'm sure you are chuffed as fuck

 

Just leave it at 40psi

Stu and crew will have it mint that's for sure mate

 

Cheers mate, can't wait to drive it now

Would be quick at 40psi but not sure for how long

 

Well I haven't posted for a While, after the boost control issues I decided to go external wastegate.
Just got round to getting it back to MSD, Stu and James did a great job.
We ran out of time yesterday but it's going back next Wednesday to play with the cam timing to see if the power band can move a little lower.
It pulls like a fucking steam train though.
495BHP & 461ftlb.

 

looking good

Ccoooool.

Good video.

 

I must say Andy it was a good day just a shame I'm back at work next week as I would of loved to come back up again .It's nice to see that stu and James take there time and get it right and the girls make a nice cup of tea

 

Great read Andy can't wait to see the final figures

Oh and the 500 ponies

Cheers for the ride out Andy

 

really nice 3dr mate

 

I hope it all goes to plan tomorrow mate let me no how it goes

 

It's Thursday I'm going mate.

 

100mm Airtec intercooler arrived from MSD Today



It's Quite a bit shorter than my old one



But way thicker



And fitted





I'm Going back to MSD on Thursday, it will be interesting to see if it makes any difference.

 

On your graph the difference between temps is 6 degree, when mine was roaded there it was 1 degree on this cooler

 

Been back to MSD today for them to perform more witchcraft and wizardry.
The result is 513 BHP to say I'm pleased is an understatement!!

 

TOP WORK

 

Bloody number chasers

Told you that cooler would do the business! I'll have to put one on mine now lol

 

I would have been happy with 480 but oh no you had to map it to 495 just to tempt me with the 500 club lol

I don't think it needs any more power........
Yet...........

 

She's a real beauty

A credit to all your hard work, time to enjoy it and scare yourself now

 

Why thank you sir

 

One question? ??










When can I drive it

 

nice mate!
Me thinks you need to pop down the garage and show us wot it can do! Lol

 

Will do mate, could do with some dry weather though

 

What brakes do you run Andy?

 

Looking good Andy can't wait till mines being mapped but it's gonna be a while

 

Very cool.There a thick cooler arnt they.

 

AP calipers with belled discs on the front on 4x4 calipers and vented discs on the ear

 

Looking great bud and nice results on the rollers

 

Hello

I'm currently editing this turbo

I like to know at what diet you have your full load reaches 3500 3800 rpm?

How many you breath out 520hp

Thank you

 

Nice job!!!

Did the new cooler give you lower act's?
Hence the extra power?

I've been debating switching my 70mm cooler for the 100mm one....

Cheers Paul
