I bet he's gone off playing and forgotten us

Yeah come on!

somebody give him a nudge the forum are all wwaiting

That hill is bleedin immense......

Leighton decided that 1.6 bar was the maximum for today - he used 1.7 bar last time, but it hardly made any difference

Leighton also had a play with "ecu safety disabled" in order to see what the engine will really do when given its head - naturally this gave the best power run of the day, but it's rarely, if ever going to get used

So - pub figure first - 502.7 @ 7,300rpm - 386 lb-ft @ 6,200rpm

However, the real top figure is a bit less. 488bhp @ 7,200 rpm and 378 lb-ft @ 6,200

Didn't get much chance to try it out on the way home, but I'm sure I'll have fun experimenting over the next few days

Welcome to the 500bhp club Nigel

About time

well done to Nigel thats a cracking figure. track action next year it is then

cant wait to see the graph just to see how the power band is compared to your last one.

Leighton will probably post in his Traders section, but here's a taster

200bhp at 4k rpm
250bhp at 4,400rpm
300bhp at 4,750rpm
350bhp at 5,200rpm
400bhp at 5,600rpm
450bhp at 6,200rpm

New rev limiter is at 7,500rpm

Should be handy , assuming I can find traction....

hot day, 888 fitted and a good track. traction will be the last thing on your mind as your shouting "I AM A DRIVING GOD" (Richard Hammond)

good to heard the plus is back and stronger than ever well worth the wait i bet

Great stuff Nigel.

Well done Nigel & Flea.... ( & Barbz & )...
As for NEAREST guess...... Check out the 2nd post in this thread!!

Nick

Nice results, those figures above are pretty much the same as me, apart from the 450bhp @ 6200rpm

Well done to all involved. Congratulations on breaking the 500 mark. Nigel are you sure those bhp/rpm figures are right? As comparing to my graph it seems your power is coming in a lot later where I would have thought it would be faster with head work etc

Nick

Sorry my bad looking at the wrong line lol

Looking again its very similar to mine still would have thought Your would make more power earlier in the rev range

Great to read she's back on the road Nigel

How many boosts?

488 @ 1.6 bar .....

Congrats Nigel, that's quite a hike in power. Wehn you've got a few miles under your belt I'd like to hear what it's like day to day in terms of drivability with the new mods.

Is there a print out to see?? Also what was the ACT's??

fle will probably do a write up when he gets a spare 5 minutes.

I would like to know too. The power numbers are not very useful without knowing the charge density.

When I do dyno runs I plot ACT as well as boost and AFR - then you have a much better picture of what's going on.

well done Nigel and all involved,how does it feel compared to before, ??

It feels ridiculously rapid - way quicker now at 1.4 bar than it ever was at 1.7

This maybe down to being forced to drive a 16v n/a for twelve weeks - I got to the point where I was thinking it was modestly quick....

I think the difference this time is that it feels like a solid wall of power from 3500rpm until 7,500rpm - its completely relentless with no steps or surges or tailing off - very impressive and it really makes me wonder what a well set up 2.4 feels like (not that I'm considering it - would be pointless)

Great result Nigel

Good stuff Nigel.

Great result Nigel

Thats the secret,not just a big lunge of power then waiting for the next `assault` as you hit a lag period,or being forced to rev higher than you really have to ,to keep it on boost.

a solid spread of real power is always faster and easier to drive in the real world

enjoy

Matthew, my youngest son, has travelled more passenger miles in my Coupe than anyone else, but today, when I floored it through second and third at 1.4 bar, he was totally taken aback by the change in the way it drives.
