The Wl. 2.2 Ej22-stroked 2.35

[trackhound]

I was round at S Dubbya earlier and there were some very 'creative' approaches being explored for the mounting of the Saturn 5 rocket nosecone sized air filter. Photos were being taken which will hopefully be posted by the dream team later.

[mk1cos]

Another update off to Extreme Motorsport Friday with Andy F and Stevie Whitson to get it on the dyno, heading to Stevies today as new filter has arrived and it huge it need's to modify so it can be fitted inside of my bumper as there is not enough space inside the engine as things are tight enough and second bottle of NOS has arrived, hopefully get rid of the gremilins tommorow and now turn up the boost its cheeky on Low boost also upgrading to the next spec of spark plugs so hopefully that will be it tommorow also changing my tyres for some slicks need the grip now, so will now be -putting extra stress on the transmission so next mods will be strenghing mods to drive shafts ect..

Will try and Video it tommorow if i remmeber camera..

PICTURES !!!!!!!

Alistair you were right we struggled with the new filter, just a tad bigger than the norm. Frankie boy came up with the perfect solution. He's always been pretty radical with his thoughts!!!!!

Check out the finished results.

[mk1cos]

dont see any problems with air restriction now,

[mikeyb13]

That Frank is a genius, cant wait to see what he's got in store for his own car

Stick some carbon fibre on it an I reckon Chris will go for it Stevie

Nice 'Al-Capone' look there with the cigar poking out of the grimace

[frank c]

Cold air induction at it's best Steve....... but you were right , one either side would have been ott and a tad over kill.

[stevie.w]

My very thoughts! Andy had said we could be restricted by the airfilter size. Don't think we'll max it out tomorrow this time around.

Mike your right that Frank's a genius, he's already planned Chris's next mods.

[andrew_forrest]

Haha, I can tell that's obviously photoshopped as the car appears clean

Don't knock it Frank, that silicone spray on the tyres is the business for drifting

[neill54]

You just beat me to it kenny!

The suspense is killing me! But I suppose if it was mine I wouldn't be indoors at the mo!

[andrew_forrest]

Well I can't possibly say but it did begin with a 6

was there a high or low number behind the 6 then

[mk1cos]

lets just say..........when the figures are printed.............. very impressive

[stevie.w]

We had a few issues during mapping, later traced to wireing problem on no3 injector plug. Even so Andy had a short window to check and remap Chris's car, still without NOS and running fairly low boost 1.7 I recall. 615/620 BHP were the figures it ran, still very impressive with a good deal more to come according to Andy. I agree the power doesn't tail of at the top end, it just keeps climbing. Oh and don't forget the NOS.

Good to hear you found the issue Steve, tricky one when it was intermittent and only at high boost 6000+ rpm !

Yes it was good power for the boost (1.75bar) I think once its wound up to 7000rpm and also boosting to the full potential of the turbo it may well increase by a further 30-40 bhp......then add the 75 shot !!
