That's looking really nice Nige !!
You are in good hands there mate.

Was a pain that I never knew your car was on the stand Sunday at TA.
I was standing there for ages too, due to them firing up one of the FIA monsters.

Turbo fitted today + new Miltek & V-band elbow & downpipe May not mean much to the Scooby guy's. The V-band elbow & downpipe is like trying to find a cheap 22B so very hard to get. Still not up & running due to oil line delivery. Hell are makeing me up some braided line's & are due tommorow. Then will have to wait for mapping.

Default Dave Rowe hits the sweet spot
A good day for the Evo @ JRM. Full tank of juice, Dave Rowe , James Rumsey & my car. All set to go by 11am. We set about sorting the previous map out . Once on the move the car performed well & it just got better. The sound of the new Miltek is exactly what i was after. The whistle from the new Turbo is fantastic. The new turbosmart dv made some silly noises at 1st until i wound it's neck in. Anyway to say im pleased is an understatement. The guy's who ive been to Germany with before will tell you my car didn't hang about. Well now it's a different animal. Just remember my car is a 2 litre This was done on 97ron petrol {just to be safe when we go to the Ring} 3bar map sensor {with a 4bar it would make more} & my fpr set at 3 bar. Turbo running at 2 bar. You will see a dip at the top the driver Paul Egerton took his foot off the gas a tad early.


The power is at the wheels. The 1st pic is were my old turbo was last year. Overlay to my new turbo.

Bum dyno say's Fooking fast but remember ive not been in anything quick for a while. Depend's on how you work it out + 22% + 24% there is another one but im not to botherd as it drives better than i thought it would. I cant stop smiling tbh. My plan worked. Nobody as far as i know has run this turbo on a 2litre so it was a gamble. Im off in the morn for an early run over my old bike haunts if its dry. Just to shake a few cobwebs out.

Mark knows his stuff mate & the bum dyno is a good one. That sort of poke in a 5 make one hell of a road/track car

Mine was 450 ish at the flywheel Nige.....I stand corrected by my son who had it mapped at Mr Sheads it was about 440 WHP would have done more but the T67 wouldnt puff more than 1.8 although it held it pretty well. But it was quick....just down the road from me is Camtune my son had a set to with a 911 Turbo and it was bye bye.

It took a while for the brain to take it in, and to change gear without hitting the limiter...I had a greddy T67 on it. Ran out of puff at 1.8 .....Apart from the banana manifold cracking a few times it was totally reliable......In 2 years bugger all went wrong ......Brilliant car. My son is more the scooby person I still hanker after an RSeveryone.

Would be good as he is looking for blood! Mine that is. So if we can get him sorted with a passenger extra weight an all that would put a smile on my face. Paul has a Jimmy built 2.2 forged Coswoth Evo running a Gt35
He didnt like the kicking i gave him at Brands so now want's revenge BIG TIME! Paul as some of you Know like Anger is from the Drag scene & know's a thing or 2 about fast cars. Should be interesting this year Any bet's?

Good results.
Peak torque may of shifted a bit to the right but it's generating a fair bit more at the lower rpm then the old setup.

I've never seen a RR plot with such a smooth lambda trace, there must be some serious filtering or low bandwith on that probe.

Mate, thats brilliant news that it's all sorted.

Looks like it might be fairly quick that old thing. I think I might invest in some hooks and rope, as it looks like the only way I'm keeping up with you, is if I'm attached to the back of you!

Really chuffed for you mate

Roll on Germany and some Porker bashing!

Yes mate seen quite a few Scooby's majority of them make less than there ment to. Some make more like Paul Egertons did. Watched an Rs Focus mk2 with a 380bhp atf kit on it cost him over £3k bloke was gutted as it made only 5bhp over stock. It worked out to 315bhp atf.there 310bhp atf std. Then ive seen it go the other way to James own car make 630bhp atw. He was beaten at 30-130 by another gtr with 80bhp atw less? R/R are a good tool for setting up the car. There's nothing better than the old bum dyno though. The Evo as it is now is the fastest car ive owned & out on the road with it today nice & dry its quick enough.
Weather it will make the same figures on a different dyno is another thing?
I'm happy with it power wise unfortunately i'm not happy with the twisty bit's. It's all over the place {or i am} so just need to sort it out again. I think i was at this same point last year.

Hello mate. Apart from the power the only thing that changed was ns f wheel needed towing in a bit. Everything else was spot on? Out today on some of my fav roads i cant get it to do what it did. Just me needing to get in the swing of things again or that extra poke has upset the car?

Update as some know my car had some probs {no fault of the car} This has meant the cars return to JRM. There doing a full engine rebuild to 850bhp spec. I wont run this sort of power its just to make it safe for the power i do run.
Anyway things are looking up as my pistons turned up today. Engine is already stripped. Mike the engine builder has one other to finish then he's on mine. Will update when i know more.

Good news Pistons have turned up. Head is now back together. Short week ahead so maybe the week after & it should be back in the whole & ready for running in/up. It made ish bhp + ftlb torque last time with a sick 2.0 litre engine. So should make same ish figures this time around. Clutch will be busy though {foobard}. Boost will be turned way down for Germany. Good job i have breakdown cover abroad.

Update. My block went away for a re-bore today & should be back on Thursday this week. Head is back together {cars not mine} + a little more safety stuff, all gaskets & bearings are ready. Got a new rad today as mine was damaged. Using a Koyo rad normally for an Evo 6. It moves the top hose further away from the turbo. Under bonnet prep work done + painted my gearbox.

Fingers crossed for you mate.

I know how much it means to you.

Your not wrong mate. I need this now it means more to me than last year. Just down to time now. It's giving me a right nightmare. James is away & people wont move until he gives the go ahead. Ive been trying to tell them ITS MY CAR I GIVE YOU THE GO AHEAD {not meaning to sound bad} but thing need to move. I took the day off work today just to be down there. I will be back there tomorrow before my night shift to! I want this to happen big time. Ive canceled 1 track day due to this. Germany is now my goal.

Fingers crossed Nige.

I am surprised that people are sitting on their hands a bit there. James gave you his word that it will be done, no questions asked etc. Surely someone else must know the score ( a manager of sorts) , they should be pushing things at a rapid pace really mate.

Mate, you know you have a shed load of people on here who will drop everything to help you if required. Banter apart, we all want you down there with us and not in a half cocked way.

Don't leave things too late to ask for help if you want any. Me personally, I'm ****ing useless mechanically, but I make bloody good coffee for those who who are oil infected, spanner wielding, engine monkeys.

As Steve said, Nige forget the banter, you have to go, Germany without Nige. I dont think so.
You still got a few weeks mate, I guess the sooner its running the better. More time to get a few miles on it, make sure all is good.
After going in it at brands, i am dying to see what sort of time you can get around the ring.

Thanks for the offer's of help people. To be honest there is not allot to do at the moment. There machine for doing re-bores & the drill thingy that dose the business has broken. So the engine block has to be done by another company. The block is now with them. Its meant to be back tomorrow.. Next week Thursday/Friday the engine should be ready to put back in the whole.

Not really mate. The car is mine now as ive changed most of it As everyone dose just to put your own stamp on it. It didn't need changing. As a std car it was fantastic it should be bloody brilliant now. The car has never let me down! Just some of the people. It will get there in the end
