higgy Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 [] well its not all bad this time the car is running like a rocket but the clutch is slipping in the higher gears, so this means that the car is limited to 1.6 bar of boost untill i can finde and fit a new clutch that can take the punch that the engine wants to delliver So at 1.6 bar she is making 444 bhp and 411 flbt. There is no lag , and gearchanges are a treat. A huage big thanks to Andy and to Steave for driving the car for me today as i was not able to get away from work. Watch this space as there is more to come. Higgy
chris_c201 Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 What boost will it max out at once clutch sorted? 444hp when "limited" is alright i suppose.... []
_jac_ Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 Sorry to hear about the clutch mate but as you say not all bad. What clutch you going for now ? JAC
z1000 Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 555 would be great but 444's a pretty good start with a slipping clutch, looking forward to seeing it in action at knockhill.
higgy Posted June 21, 2007 Author Posted June 21, 2007 What boost will it max out at once clutch sorted? 444hp when "limited" is alright i suppose.... [] The boost will be increased upto 1.85 - 1.9 bar. Higgy
higgy Posted June 21, 2007 Author Posted June 21, 2007 Sorry to hear about the clutch mate but as you say not all bad. What clutch you going for now ? JAC Jac Me thinks it will be a Exedy twinplate at £ 1000. smacaroos Ouch to the bank ballance again[]. My existing clutch is now forsale and as soon as it goes to a new home i will order the new one.

the squiggle Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 Oh the nutcracker suite, i could use that as a backing tune for a SV feature on your car In South Afrika, your behaviour would be classed as normal but here in Scotland you are regarded as a NUTTER 1.9bar in a Bugeye WRX..............................Nutter Already spoke to the droveshaft bloke for you

Chris.Mcd Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 Great figures mate for it being "limited" performance . Have you got a spec list made up that we could have a look at ?
coulty Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 Aye great thanks Simon! How are you? I just wondered how you get on with going from Full throttle to part throttle and are you getting MAF judder? My car just did a new 1/4 mile time best but more to come pretty soon [] How is the new engine performing now? Stuart
