Just spoken with Phill Lanes and he's given me my rolling road results, needless to say, i'm seriously impressed, and i wasn't expecting that much from the engine! I just hope my driveshafts will take the power for a while! I'm like a pig in st at the moment!

Due to Phill not having a scanner at work, he is going to scan the graph for me this evening and email it over, but i'll leave you guys guessing what the output was

You were aiming for 400... You must certainly have reached it + you're massively impressed by the sound.

I still remember the way we laughed with your results (well... 'symptoms') on the first rolling we ever did, with the Brick. I kind of get the feeling we're no longer going to laugh anymore now.

Is it going to be enough to beat Sparco round Spa in June then Begbie?

Ok I'm going to say 420lbs/ft and perhaps 460bhp

you just have to tell us !!

and right away !

I'm going for 440 lbs ft and 490 bhp....

440 bhp

438bhp/

450 ft lb 472 bhp......

Nick

445hp / 1.5bar boost

No hurry!

G

Ooh oh oh I just let out a little bit of wee in excitment

I'm going for 450lbs/ft and 475bhp

430lbs/ft 482bhp

505 is my guess.

G

Is there a prize?

Okay here's my guess... Begbie showed up with the brick on that rolling road thingy and got 175 bhp or something out of his 16vt engine. Those 20 horses that had run away will surely have returned to the pack by now, getting older and missing their family - together with their offspring. I don't think those horses were very trustworthy so I wouldn't be surprised if each one of them got into quite a few relationships - being Italian an all that. I bet on average they stuck just half a year with those ladies! And that was back in 2001 somewhere. So every year, those horses each gave birth to 2 colts. That's 40 brand spanking new horses every year. 8 years on, that gives an amazing number of 320 horses. Plus those (now old ones) that ran away gives 340 horses. 340 horses + the 175 horses that were still there...

515 horses

Or wait... Didn't Begbie get a NEW engine? And didn't it get an overhaul by Guy Croft who surely added some of his own to the pack? So I looked it up "guy croft horses" on Google. First result:



Says Guy Croft first posted 3 and then 19 horses! That's 22...

I take it Begbie's now got...

537 bhp

There.

And yes I'm tired and should go to bed.

night night lol

Lol Kayjey, are they all nuts in Belgium, or just you?

so what is it? Im guessing 503bhp!

Not blown it up already has he

Hmmmm knowing Begbie I sniff an April's fools day joke building up......

It's just bad timing that i happen to get the car running around this time of year, but as promised, the proof is in the pudding and Phill sent the graph to me at about half past 11 last night whilst i was in bed, so here it is



So that's 540bhp and 493lbs

Amazing results Begbie - I bet Guy Croft is happy

i think i'll wait a few hours before i choose to comment

Wow, I mean really wow... that is dedication to the task working on a Sunday Fantastic results though especially given you haven't even fitted your external wastegate yet, tbh I wouldn't even bother!

Well done mate!!
does that make yours to most powerful 16vt .... in the world??
But seriously, do you know of one with more??

Also is your car gonna be daily drive or just track and drag king???

Whens the FLEA-BEGBIE shoot out??

Nick

Then heres a question. If you were basing all your modifications around a 400bhp target. What does this mean for the likes of your injectors, fuel pump, and what not? Are they upto the task in the long term?

Also you spent alot of time choosing the right turbo, now with over 100bhp more than expected, shouldnt you be looking at a larger one?

See - my calculations were correct!

Crazy just crazy man. So much torque from that little engine. Can't believe it
