gus the bus Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 looking very neat Chris SO, whats the figures!!!!!?
braveheart Posted July 9, 2008 Author Posted July 9, 2008 Gus the Bus said: looking very neat Chris SO, whats the figures!!!!!? 470 +bhp and kicking on for 500ft lbs if not more. All the porting and re shaping the combustion chambers and matching the cc's has paid of. A bar of boost by 2700rpm and full boost by 3170rpm (full boost 1.7 bar). The Spool up and tourque for the weight of the car is frightning. So looking forward to a wee blast as for the track that will happen 2..... I might need to look into bigger oil breather tanks. And maby a bigger Turbo we will see i will just enjoy it just now..next stage in 1 month.. Regards Chris..

To be honest Frank it goes better than i was expected, again its not cheap to have a car of that speck, and i wish any one thats planning ther 2.5 to make sure they source a good engine builder, before throwing money away because to be honest i did at the begining and wish i did my homework in the first place, was given a bit of a bum steer by some people so ..... thanks anyways mate its not finished yet he he regards..

Can't say I know enough about engines to fully understand what it looks like has been done, although even my novice status can tell there's something just a little better than the "norm" in there .... but can't help but be impressed with those figures. Very nice. Edited July 9, 2008 by C_WRX
eurosti Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 Impressive mate, a few questions if i may? Im gathering parts to convert my Ph1 to a front entry turbo! I have the same PAS pump and res as you off a 97 car, i also have the Carl davey spacers for the inlet manifold. What size alloy pipe are you using to feed the turbo and where did you get the turbo clocked mate? I notice you have modded the PAS hard pipe to the rack, was that needed to clear or was old one damaged? Any help would be great.
paul555sti Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 I know what 300 odd brake feels like but 500 must be mental Hopefully i will get to see your car in action some time soon.
kookamunga Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 yeah look forward to hearing the nice whine from the straight cut gears just takes me back to the days of running minis p.s i heard it when Stevie was running it in he realy makes a very sweet job of the engine bay. So rest at mind i am not stalking you lol

eurosti Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 Maybe i worded that wrong! When i say damaged i thought the old PAS pipework may have been past its best, but it looks like they have made it longer for a reason! Pm on route.
sparky_sj04 Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 Looks an absolute monster mate, well done and enjoy!!!!!

emoe Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 That is such a sleeper!! When you look on the outside, the car looks really clean and tidy, like a very mildly modded car, and then under that hood is a freaking monster!! Nearly 500hp and over that in tourque!! holy hell, thats impressive and i bet a million youre proud as heck! the engine bay looks VERY clean and tidy, and the mods look very pro (obviously as Andy Forrest had a hand in it!) Ive driven a 400hp and 480lb car on the track and that was firstly breathtaking, secondly, exhillarating, and thirdly ******ng scary!! So your car must be an animal and i am not jealous. No im not jealous... no really im not jealous... Ok maybe a bit jealous.... OK im VERY jealous!! Well done mate!!

Cheers ,my friend the whole idea is the sheep in wolfs clothing im not into the graphics and all that type of stuff, which each to our own, i do like the odd graphic,i am happy with the figures and yes to be honest im still not use to the power delivery,but that the fun side of it.. i wanted a car that is driveable and reliable not one thats going to break down on me and have to replace engines every time you thrash it .... untill the next mod lol regards Chris

I am a BIG fan of cars like yours that look very very tidy and nice but are complete animals!! Well done! and whats the next mod?? I have made an air intake temp sensor for my car, and thats working brilliant, i can see the temp drop by 3 or 4 degrees when you hit the Intercooler sprayer!! I am looking at water injection too, maybe that will help cool the charge a bit. mayeb thats something for you to look at too!!
Gus134 Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 That looks and sounds like some machine mate,well done

uRaBu5 Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 Chris car looking fantastic – even saw it in the flesh yesterday as you were heading out of Penicuik at about 2.30ish. Did wave, but was in the S-max, so you probably wouldn’t even have noticed. Hope you’re getting used to it and loving every minute!! All the best Derek
