Some of you will know that over the last few months Barbz @ Torque Italia has been doing some very special new tuning modifications on my car. After months of hard graft from Barbz I have got the results of the work back - On normal fuel the car made 577BHP using water inj. I don't trust water injection (and don't have a DDS3 or similar) so without the extra advance it gives the car made 547BHP with 4xx lbs/ft (not got the power graphs back) all at a relatively modest 1.5 bar boost and relatively conservative advance. That's over 480BHP at the wheels. On 102RON fuel without water injection it is making 616BHP and 480lbs/ft torque still at 1.5 bar boost!!! with plenty more to come by using more boost or a higher octane fuel. That's 470BHP/tonne with a full interior. Also with this much power and where the power is delivered there is absolutely no doubt that it is capable of over 200mph. What is most impressive is the fact that this has been done on a GT30 hybrid (like a GT3076R) so on my 2.4 it is pretty much lag free! Have had my traction control extensively tuned for it as well so it can put most of it down in lower gears and all of it down in higher gears I can't thank Barbz enough for the untiring effort he has put into my car, he carried on through a mass of setbacks and complications. The result is a tribute to his legendary engine tuning abilities! Truly a tuning magician!! Cheers to everyone on the forum who has been supporting me in this! Will post up graphs when I get them John

Nah, theres still that dude in South Africa with his claimed 200MPH+ coupe if he ever finishes it . Matt from SA got 180 or similar, but never hit 200, so anyone getting more than that has the high speed award. Great work tho John and Barbz, some serious power, esp if you're getting it down in the early gears!

OMG John, that is truly amazing Congratulations!

Bring it on John! I was expecting figures like those - and it's all finished for TOTB - hope you'll be there, as the top speed run will truly be yours. Hats off once again for being the first to try something new. I knew the 2.4's had much more potential than the 450 bhp odd that they were producing - and you're still 'only' using a GT30, which really sets the engine apart from 2lr engines (not just coupe) that run big power but have to go much bigger than a T30 to get the headline figure and suffer below 4K as a result. I'd love to know more detail of the spec like who did the manifold, mapping etc. but dont know what you can or cant post up.

The King is dead, long live the new King (again)
That's more like the kind of figures the 2.4 should be producing. Looking forward to seeing the graphs while I decide my next move. Are you still running the C&Bs?
Congratulations
