Thumbs up

I've just read this from start to finish, took some time but was worth it.
This is probably the most well put together car i have seen, and love the attention to detail.
Well done

I'm looking to go zetec turbo in my XR2 is it best to use silver or black top engine as the base?

LOL not shy....


All went well today from the update I received.

We are not sure on the exact/final hp figure but the rev limit is up and we are hitting 2bar and holding 1.8.

Had a few issues to battle against though... the 888s were getting so hot on the dyno due to the temperture today they were melting and sticking to the rollers.

Secondly the temps in the dyno room were upto 36 degrees so the power run saw 390hp.

We will be putting some road tyres on and doing a power run when its cool one morning just to see what its kicking out. We think about 420hp going by the improvemnts.

Also have a map with gear selectable boost to try out which im looking forward too.

420 thats not going to be shy

when we used r888's when we mapped my mates nova turbo we had similar problems (last summer at 34degrees ambient in the dyno room) his charge temps were also high at around 50ish after a good while

glad it went well mate

will this be at rs combe???

Whats the spec of the turbo on this?
GT3076R? .82 exhaust housing?
What fuel?
What boost are you running to achieve 420bhp?

Great results for a tiny fiesta either way. Well done

Emerald ecu picks up on rpm v speed.
This highlights what gear you are in, thus giving say 1st gear 40% boost, 2nd gear 50% 3rd gear 70% 4th gear 100% and so on how ever you like.

GT3071.82
Vpower
2bar

420hp is still a guess but we were 404hp with less boost.

Once the weather cools a little and I have some friendly dyno tyres we will have a more accurate figure.

I think you'll see more than 420, melting tyres and 36 degrees is rediculous conditions to try and map a car.

Good luck next time.
