On Monday, Motormech fitted a T28 hybrid (62mm compressor) and full stainless exhaust (including decat and 3" downpipe - albeit limited initially by the v-band). I already had PA FMIC & SIP, Apexi, Blitz, Walbro and direct feed. I spent yesterday in Bristol while Flea mapped my car. The drive home was fanatastic ... he has totally transformed the car! It absolutely flies now ... pulling through the gears like a train, with a lovely wide torque band So, before Leighton posts the results, any one care to make a guess at my new peak BHP and torque? Bear in mind, he and I both think it will suprise some (And of course, I must give a big thank you to Leighton ... he's a top bloke who can do wonders for your car )

are you suggesting the figures are false, or massaged, in some way trappy? In no way am I suggesting this. I've just received conflicting results on a subsequent dyno run at a different location. After all, it's entirely possible that the other dyno I used is under-reading! Forget the comment, let's not spoil dave_t's glory with a dyno row! Besides, I never did get to get my GTiR on those rollers so it'd be good to see what a hybrid can do I'll call it 327bhp, 305lbs/ft.
F****** b****** thing...

Yes ... on V-Power, and at 1.35bar Trappy, I don't think there's any way to sort out that perennial issue I'm just happy that its done on the same rolling road as everyone else, so it gives some level of comparison

I think you'll now find that your chassis will be your limiting factor - it will be interesting to hear how you get on
That's the case even with 220bhp isn't it...

Very impressive result, are you going to take it for a 1/4 run sometime?
whats your 60-100 time in 3rd gear? Not talking about torquestat calculations, wondering what you get on the (private)road for comparisons sake?
Cheers
Davie

Birthday celebrations and Mothers Day have got in the way of me replying I think flyingcustard was the closest ... almost spot on ... a great guess! (Although I would have been happy with TurboJ's guess ) And I'm amazed that people were guessing (what I consider to be) relatively high levels. It must be something to do with the magic that people believe Flea can weave

Nigel, Yes ... it's going to be interesting to see how much I've upset the balance of things.
The car was very driveable before these latest changes, although I always thought it could benefit from a little more power. TBH, I was only expecting 300-310bhp from the upgrades though!
As you say, it may be that there is too much power for the handling setup now. I'm only running a fairly basic set of upgrades on that front.
I'll post how I get on at Silverstone next Friday (although my main/ initial concern is that I'll be eating brakes even faster now!)

Davie, I've never done a 1/4 mile, but might now have a go just to see what the car can do (or, more likely, how badly I can screw up a launch!)
I'll have to try a 60-100 time in 3rd, and let you know how it gets on. The car feels startlingly fast through the gears though. Most of the drive back from Bristol was spent trying to keep the car to legal speeds!
