Do we have figures yet Matt?

So I arrive at Motorsport developments on the morning of Tuesday the 18th of June . Greeted with a brew and quick chat then leave .






anyhow in short it spends a couple of hours off the rollers for oil pressure data and update the ECU ..then not long into mapping the thrust bearing in the gearbox shit itself ,so then next morning I arrive to whip the box out and fit new bearing ..we get that done then head over to the rollers then the front brakes lock casing major problems ..so after laughing and blaming our man Gus we decide to whip pads out and investigate . in end we cracked nipples open and pushed the pistod back ..all is fixed and then some load runs start .. 10 mins into load pulls a boost hose blows off so out the tools come again and fix ... then another 10 mins and bang same boost hose so its double clamp and go again . by this time its about 1540pm and we agree to get it mapped around 200bhp safe and take it away to get an MOT and get some mileage on it and shake down.. its mapped to 9psi safe at around 230hp it drives lovely and the turbo like stu says is on holiday at 9psi ..it pulls well also very strong power ..so back for more boost in the future but for now get some mileage done and enjoy it .

Glad to see in the end you got it so its driveable, get some miles on it and get it turned up.

Are you going to either weld a lip on the pipe that the hose comes off or roll a bead in it to stop it coming off again?

jessie_rs

Sounds like rs turbo ownership! It seems never ending

Rsmat

iTrader: (2)

That's the plan mate , it has a lip on ,but was a pain to get right on dyno as the manifold was very hot lol ..so its and easy fix .

Deffo mate .. just a few niggles nothing major thank God.

MOT passed .

Nice one Matt as it should pass too. Now get some miles on her and sort out the few bits and get her back to MSD for full potential

visa_broke

Congrats on the mot. Another step closer.

There used to be a red rs turbo on the jackmans estate in Letchworth years and years ago. You could hear the turbo whir before you could see the car. Sounded really good.

Thanks lads ..got to give credit to Stu and Lewis AT MSD they have been fantastic.

bluntys1rsturbo

as said via our many messages on whatsapp, absolutely love it mate and its about time, well deserved after all the graft you have put in. And to think its making more power at just 9psi than most rs turbos make doing 20+ psi just shows that how you have specced it is bang on and its flowing really well

Johnny Knoxville

Andrew knows how to build a engine and port heads, just think what that engine could do if the boost was set at 30psi !!!

Glad to see it's up and running, at 20+ psi that is going to be a weapon in a lightweight rst

Canada1

Fantastic result!

It shows that a modern turbo and high flow exhaust manifolding makes more power at less boost.
The pre-turbine and post turbine pressure with this set-up is far lower than a typical old school T3.
Result - impressive power at much lower intake manifold pressures.


Well done!!!!

Thanks lads ..really appreciate it .. Andy has built a lovely engine and the head work was ace ..glad it's all come together.

When are you taking me for a spin

slammedorion

Great to see it on the road running... you got many shows, cars & coffee meets planned?

ajamesc

You certainly put the time and effort in to build a top car. It’s a credit to you like your 3dr was. My mate si has a red s2 with rondels on it. His is mint as well. There really nice cars I like them a lot

Rsmat

iTrader: (2)

Hopefully this weekend sometime mate .

I've nothing planned of yet mate as I really want a few dents removed especially the bonnet

Thanks mate , the CVH took some many late nights getting the spec just right to suit the Turbo and then getting parts made and flow tested etc .. but the proof is in the Data ..and I'm well happy I've managed to pull off another Great build.
