Nothing wrong with trimming the lawn a bit and scaring the wildlife.

Will keep you in the loop for sure

Good luck tomorrow fella.

Thanks Bud.

Looks like we may have snow out west?

Magician - work your magic tomorrow.

I'll try and phone and annoy you tomorrow.

Ross

Hope not!Only in your case!I'll have a look and report back in a sec.

*40% chance of rain in and around bristol between 12pm and 4pm...Otherwise overcast...*

Wish I had the petrol to come up and have a look at you monster somepoint during the day

Hang on....25 mile train journey...wonder how much a ticket will cost...

Get it shipped over here Barbz, the weather is perfect at the moment, I've not seen a cloud for about two weeks!

I'm sure Leighton would appreciate the weather, roads and night life whilst working his magic.

What difference has this made Marco.
Also what diameter are you using as Barbz told me mine were too big.

Barbz i'm still using one of your TI stage 2 heads with C&B cams and back on a ported standard manifold. Running a 7800 rpm but it does creep up to 8k when i'm hunting stuff down.

The pipe work we shortened was the intercooler pipes, specifically the one from the drivers side of the IC back, it now goes in a straight line to the turbo. We've modified some of the others too to suit our needs.

To piping of the FMIC – a diameter of 60mm ID is sufficient for most applications…
I did following calculation – up to a gas speed of 0,4 mach the pipe diameter is ok, gas speed > 0,4mach will lead to increased loss.
When calculating the air consumption for 650HP and 60mm, you will get 0,4 Mach (is ok), at 750HP you will get 0,45Mach… (not sooo good any more).
Bigger piping will affect in nothing but slower response…
Juergen

Yes we only shortened the pipework, we didn't alter the diameter Juergen/JBT

Air speed concerns before the last few inch in a forced induction is wasted, it's mass that matters. I'll take slow mass over fast anyday. We've been here before and I'm just saying, no need for an argument. Just think about what the air is trying to do, the mass is there regardless of how fast it's moving but if it's being forced through that's when a delay comes into play.

By the way, great sounding engine Barbz, I'm not dissing you.

The air also has to be compressed. Response is about how quickly you can put the mass of air that is in there under pressure, taking into account where it's going into of course.

Compressor wheel does what it says on the tin if you let it turn.

This is what I did too, straight from the turbo to the FMIC.
How much difference was there? (I never even tried the long-2x180deg-route, so I don't know..)

Not sure Per as we had chanegd a few other things too. You've been in it round Spa with me what do you think.

Just received an interesting text with Barbz new power output, a smiley summary would be

i too have recieved texts..

all i will say it OH MY GOD!!

and well done to all!!!

Fasten your seat belt!
569hp, 448torque @ 1.7bar

Seriously?! That's ridiculous!!

Well done to everyone involved, that's mental!

Great stuff, Barbz & Flea

Fantastic results well done.

569hp.. Ok!! Christ..


What I think? Uncomparable. Your Coupe's a very nice monster that's all I can say.. thanks again for the ride!

Awesome stuff!Well done bud and all involved Think I need to re-evaluate where I want to go with mine after seeing those results.Fresh plans and ideas with you required before I bring it to you next year...

So the question to be asked now is.......where are you going to go from here?What are your limits

Once again.Well done bud.

geezer, nice one Barbz

when you adding the shots of NO2?

top result , Barbz & Flea

Bloody brilliant result!

Look forward to a passenger ride very soon!

WOW, congrats

Considering that mavric got 600bhp on race fuel, to get 569bhp on what I presume is 99ron, is just amazing.

And considering that this is Barbz just finding his feet again, I can only imagine that 600bhp will be broken soon enough.

Ross

Nice results Barbz and Leighton
