rapidcossie

dont think so mate?! you need to get another one! who else will i have welded to the bumper on the way up to the top marques nites?

some of my mates scoobies steve simpsons spec c some pics of my cossie... now runs 486 ATW and had been timed at 185mph

the escort wasnt THAT modified.. if it was it would have blitzed a standard sti on the straights atleast.. its was all set up for the camera anyway. both cars look awsome

tell me they have a carbon monoxide detector in there?? fan looks very very small...is it?

must have got some launch to hit 12.1 mate! well done!

problem with a GT turbo is that there are so many.. you need to speak to a tuner that HAS experience in selecting turbos for a cetain engine/application and take it from there.

buy something proven... no just a fancy expensive thing that never does the numbers

sure its not the first scob to have probs with boost pipes.. i know a few folks who have

he mapper would notcie un metered air i would imagine? as it would prob throw up some funny readings...

this would cause the car to run leaner than it should... but this would increase power if anything..

agree on the comment about being a good thread.. a good technical disscussion with knowledgable people without turning into an argument. Andy has given Gumballs car and figs some back up so even though it might not have been 430 hp we now it must have been getting up there at somepoint. lets all settle on 400 eh? LOL

There is no way KH would allow timed runs unless all competeing had race licences and the car were scrutteneered properly. thta not to say that we could do some unofficial timing........

the original cossie was designd with circuit racing in mind (BTCC of the time to compete against the dominant rover SD1'a of the time). the engine evolved over time and eventually was used in the works escort wrc cars.(with breif use in saf rally cars too) the rs200 was the car for group B but the engine was quite different. was only a 1700 and was a BDT not a variation of the YB. the BDT came first and was a evoluotion of the old BDA's(now thats a engine worth talking about!)

after experiencing mark shead mapping my car on the road and alan at ava mapping my car on the rollers i understand why it is important to map cars on both dyno/rr and on the road. we recently timed my cams in and were only seeing increases of 5-10 BHP atw at times(managed a total of 40 bhp increse thru the mid range and 10 at the top), this would have been impossible to do on the road as such slight increases would have never been felt by the ass dyno. but on the other hand now that my car has been optimiesd as much as possible we are going back to the road for some flat out runnng testing before going to brunters for a timed run. we wil be checkng AFR and det along with charge temps ect as the RR can only cool to a certain point. the cars you saw would not perfom aswell when fited in the car as they would now have a restricive exhaust fited along with other ancilleres. the charge temps and water temps would also be mre of an issue in car thus possible having to retard igntion a bit when fitted into car.

i have a laptop and the software for my car if you fancy a go on mine LOL it is impossible to map for MAX power on the road

well like they say andy..the proof is in the pudding and you and your car and the cars you map are the proof. not arguing or questioning you but how do you know his car was making more power if you did not power test it before and after?

glad to hear the gearbox is still in one piece mate! i understand your previous post and where your coming from but i want questining that. I didnt say that i though Gumballs car had reached the maximum flow point of the engine but i did say that it was wrong to ASSUME that the power will increase everytime a larger turbo charger is fitted. think andy thought i had said this aswell but was only pointing out that sometimes no mater how much air you try and ram thru the engine is can only flow to its limits, which andy has now stated to be mid 400's thus making Gumbals power a realistic possiblity....with the correct fueling etc etc

nothing on her catching it !! PMSL cough cough except andy f but he dont count LOL

no doubt you have done the testing andy so dont doubt your figs. not picking on Gumballs car but it seems to be the one everyone is talking about at the moment. was he not runing standard injectors? surley these would have been maxxed out way under 400+ bhp? as the 550cc 's on my friends P1 are running 100 percent duty at probs 370ish

there you go then... we both agree on something

the two cars are so different they are uncomparable.. one is a bang up to date rally machine and one is an ancient old sierra..

apologies as i didnt realise your car was an 05..i have you mixed up with some one else... i have not thrown down any gauntlet, i only stated that the WR1 handles better than a non DCCD equiped sti. it was you that said Tell him to come to Knockhill on the 11th We will see how his WR1 Compares to certain STi's round there[] CraiG was it not? i said that a WR1 would beat most scoobies on track..which i believe it would? true or not?

normal i meant a car without DCCD as this transforms the handling of a STI and makes alot more like an EVO. only been in a few classics on KH but know guys with P1's with full whiteline set ups and they still aint happy with them

has your STI got DCCD fitted? no? then it is a normal STI, KH aint all about BHP

i think the WR1 would spank up most scoobies there.... normal stis/P1's are too understeery(good word LOL) on track
