Grumbler Posted September 26, 2004 Posted September 26, 2004 my car was poor. only managed 276.9 bhp and 273 lb ft of torque so its going back to the garage soon as i was told it was at least 300 bhp
MikeABZ Posted September 26, 2004 Posted September 26, 2004 just have to be careful around their wording surrounding the"300bhp"..... Nice car though, and once set up right I bet it will fly!! I was chuffed - 211bhp which is 2 up on standard, and with me only having a JR panel filter I'd say that was pretty much spot on.... Car needs serviced next month (£230), and now Gav has got me thinking about a unichip (£430), cat back exhaust (£??).... and I need 2 new tyres (£200)..... Expensive hobby this Good fun though!! Nice to meet more folk off here! Had a great day, and look forward to the next event. Mike
tim_wilkinson Posted September 26, 2004 Posted September 26, 2004 well I was well chuffed, elise has 156 standard, equating to 197 per tonne - it came out at 169.5 (just a filter, albeit a very expensive carbon jobbie & a Lotus race exhaust) which means I'm at 211 bhp per tonne Tim
Carl Davey Posted September 26, 2004 Posted September 26, 2004 What i spent the day running around like a trainspotter for. Pictures coming soon...
Power Junkie Posted September 26, 2004 Posted September 26, 2004 Thanks Carl Good Graph!! Had a good Day, soon to be 300+bhp Mark
rossyboy Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 Nice work Carl and thanks, how you got all that info on that bit of paper is beyond me Just glad mine didn't blow up in the end. That octane booster stuff sounds like a waste of money to me, no det and same power as standard with just Optimax
Carl Davey Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 Some of todays runners. Scooby Central. Most powerful Impreza of the day, the BHP Developments/Wallace Performance tuned P1 owned by oor Kev. Least ground clearance of the day award goes to young Grumbler! The fridge! 256bhp on the second run, 259bhp on the first. More than happy with that, all set to topple the 300 barrier now...! More Pictures Here I'd just like to say a big thanks to Gavin, Russ, Neil and Jools for making the day such a success. I was very impressed with Gavins setup and the rollers seem to be calibrated spot-on, something proved by the likes of Mikes near standard ATR and Catherines standard Celica knocking out factory figures. I couldn't believe how smoothly the day went also, bar Jools wee problem it was almost regimental the way the cars were wheeled on, run up and then wheeled off without a hiccup. Well done to all. If all goes to plan my car should have all the treats fitted and be mapped by the end of October - so naturally i'll be looking for a re-run come the beginning of November, as i'm sure Davie will too.
Boyakasha Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 Well done Carl, great work with the figures. Great pics as well, but none of mine Marc
murray_marshall Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 Well done all involved, particularly Gavin, Russ, Neil and Jools, and of course Carl for compiling and posting the results Great set up and all in all a very interesting day. At least when I sell the wee car I can say with some confidence just what the car produces - other than big smiles ! Cheers Guys
MikeABZ Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 << well I was well chuffed, elise has 156 standard, equating to 197 per tonne - it came out at 169.5 (just a filter, albeit a very expensive carbon jobbie & a Lotus race exhaust) which means I'm at 211 bhp per tonne Tim >> Yes, and I think I saw every one of those bhp round bends on a wee scoot to Potterton and back. Much enjoyment/excitement/brown troosers! Cheers though, really enjoyed it! Mike
Carl Davey Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 Hey Mark, sorry i missed your car. I did want to try and get all the Scoobys on the rollers but i missed Shauns because i was nattering and then after i missed John Stewarts later on i kinda gave up. Don't think i got any of Keiths or Erics either. I'm sure the picture of all your cars together in the P&J will make up for it though.
Boyakasha Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 Do you know which issue it is going to be in? Checked this mornings P&J and the early evening express but nothing there?
dougster Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 What kind of cooling fans are used? From the pictures I don't see any. The fan at Dastek In Dalgety Bay was big and very powerful and using the same roller set up.
Grumbler Posted September 28, 2004 Author Posted September 28, 2004 there was a big two stage fan infront on the car with a second one on top blowing air down onto the engine. what is the p&j? yeah there wasn't much clearance on my car. i kept scraping the ground as i was leaving wallace performance. i took my car back to the shop today and they confirmed that it was loosing a lot of boost then jumping up again. would this explain the lower than expected performance or not?
dougster Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 P&J? Hopefully the boys at JVS will be able to source your problem m8.
ewan_anderson Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 great to put names to faces, brilliant day Carl you've been busy great photo's and graph hopefully see you all at the next rr day Ewan
Wooosh Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 Great to put a few more names to faces. Great work with the spreadsheed Carl, what happened to Jules car then?
Boyakasha Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 << what happened to Jules car then? Wooosh >> Clutch was smoked , too many mental launches at Alford I think It's a shame as I was really hoping to see if the TSL 333 would make the figures. There is a lot of guys who have had this done and say they are getting about 330bhp and about 310 ftlf Torque but there has been a fair bit of sceptisism around the numbers and the rollers that they have come from. Jools hope you get this sorted soon m8, AP on the way? How about a lighter flywheel while you're at it. would make a big difference in acceleration I think Gavin, Russell and Neil did a great job on Sunday, after having all the teething problems with the rollers it all came good.
DEVLIN Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 Looks like a good day had by all (almost) too far away for me - maybe next time.
MikeABZ Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 Yeah, I reckon the 7000rpm and a quick sidestep has taken it's toll on Jools clutch! (ps - I found an exhaust waiting to hear about a house 1st though )
WUZ Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 Good to see you all had a good time! Kev - we need to discuss you situation ASAP........... Mail me! Marc - you as well Enjoy the cars guys, R/R figures are only approximations. If the car feels quick, be happy (for a little while at least) Russell, BHP Developments
tim_wilkinson Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 Well done with the graph Carl - thats excellent, as are the photo's Big big thanks to everyone organising the day - especially jools for getting it all going in the 1st place Tim
johns Posted September 29, 2004 Posted September 29, 2004 Nice to get a mention in today's P&J as well
