COMPETITION TIME :)




Off up RCM at 6 in the morning for a Mans Map :D



Guess the bhp on V Power only


Remember it's now 2.1 and got the new spec GT30 Billet Wheel Turbo (longer blades and compressor wheel is 10% lighter than the first GT30BW.


I have no idea of what power it will achieve but my guess is 538 Bhp




What's yours ?????????

568bhp

555bhp

That would be pretty cool!

550 BHP

Be lucky if it turns the rollers:whistle:

;)

560 for me!

Does the winner win a ride in it with you?

545

548 be my guess!

561bhp

Yep. winner gets a raggin' :)

556 bhp

564 bhp

[QUOTE=Skullfudge;121196]Yep. winner gets a raggin' :)[

[QUOTE=Crowman;121206]


LOL I was waiting for something from you or Ron LOL

570

What is exhaust housing on your GT30 Clive?



Jura

82

In 82AR exhaust housing i would expect around 560-580bhp

We will see

Jura

[QUOTE=Skullfudge;121211]I've been honoured enough to get behind the wheel , that's me satisfied :-)

Hope we can get the hose out quickly before it goes on the rollers :-)

LOL maybe able to mate

540 BHP but I know sweet FA, good luck anyway :ok:would be nice to have a ride though :mrgreen:

I know , I know , I know

Whose getting the ride then?...

I will let Mr Fudge answer that :-)

did anyone hit the nail on the head!?

Long day and got home 30 mins ago.

The P1 was beginning to max out on fuel around the 540 mark and with the broken valve still in mind Paul Blamire done the sensible thing and allowed head room for safety so it's running at 516 now.
Not forgetting it's now 2.1 rather than 2.0. This would have played a part in the fueling maxing out.


Eventually left RCM early evening with Eureka sitting beside me in the P1 and Crowman & Pieman following in Crowmans BMW (company car). All three mates came up with me at 6.30 am.


Just before we left Paul advised me that he had altered the 9 setting Launch Control dial. 0, 1 & 2 were now boost control only with 3-9 set up for LC with increasing rpm as it was before and a less fierce launch if I use 0, 1 or 2.


Drove out of RCM and ITCHING to floor the thing. The roads or traffic didn't allow me to floor it for several miles. Whilst in 3rd I floored it up to 7500, in 4th and back on the floor but had to lift straight away due to a roundabout ahead. It picked up well and felt good but to be honest it wasn't such a big leap as I thought.

Floored it several more times on the way home and then thought mmmmm its still fooking quick though. Floored it in 6th and noticed the red light on the Turbo Boost Defi which isn't uncommon when you have just had work done on your engine, It just needs to be reset which is a 30 second job.

Got ONE mile from my house and Eureka and I were talking about the LC dial so I pulled up. Checked the dial and it was at 0 like it should be unless I'm going to use the LC. I then floored it watching the boost gauge stop at 1.0 bar !!!!!!!

The penny then dropped about what Paul had told us and I turned to dial to 2, floored the thing and all hell broke loose and thought YESSSSSSSSSSS that’s more like my old P1 :001_rolleyes:

The engine does sound different (louder) and the bangs and pops happen a lot more on normal driving.
Haven’t tried the LC / AL yet but that will be noisier go by the engine sound, so if you are thinking of photos or filming with yer phones/cameras stay well back. I fooked 6 microphones on guys phones so far. 

Don't forget the 520 its running at now is V Power only. I still have Meths as an option for a fair bit more power. It's also running in a very safe mode which is good to know.
Will I be using Meths in the future? .......... you know Fudge ;)



Fooking awesome !!!!!!

Lol, you numpty, bet you thought this doesn't feel that quick.
Excellent day indeed.
And great result mate.

As for gob stopper 2, holly cow , in the flesh , stunning

Great result, Clive. :doubleup::doubleup: And it sounds like :P1:vrrrrrmmmmmm, vrrrrrrmmmmmm :grin::grin: Can't wait to see it in the flesh, and hear it, of course. :more::yeah:

520bhp in P1 must be mind blowing,we are running in new age wagon 490bhp and still think is great,but with 520bhp in classic must be something

Good work Clive and really pleased for you

Jura

Great stuff Clive, I'm well chuffed for you mate!

Shame I couldn't join you blokes today, but needs must and all that!

Thanks guys n gals :)

It sounds different (louder) and the bangs and pops are more frequent :)

As MC told me today "the P1 is now optimum for the streets. More power would prove no gain as a road car".

500+ in a 1290kg car that is set up right is scary when driven hard. All passengers develop a huge grin normally followed a word beginning with F :)

well done clive,now wheres the video :whistle:

I will try and make one when I get some time mate :)

Now the P1 is back to normal and the body has been detailed I need to attack the engine bay. That needs a fair bit of work on it.

Other than 30 minutes on the metal i've cleaned nothing in five months. It's never looked this bad but that will be sorted soon and I'll post up a picture when it's clean.

Glad you have it back and its still quick! :doubleup:

That's fantastic news, looking forward to seeing it go

RCM's dyno must surely be very conservative as the P1 is certainly faster ???
It feels much quicker than 516

It's said that SRR would show about 20 extra bhp compared to the rollers at RCM. Not sure how right that is, but there will always be those discrepancies between rollers.

Just out of interest, what was the ambient temp in the room, that has a bearing too.

Cracking graphs though mate :ok:

The ambient temp was about minus bloomin 10. well thats how it felt. Bloomin freezing.

I woosed off and sat on the comfy sofas in the warm
