Paul Whiffin Posted September 9, 2009 Author Share Posted September 9, 2009 Not a dig, just surprised me, yeah suppose:) Yeah I know! I used to think the same to be honest but when your out there competing, trying to get the fastest lap possible laying down 800bhp is ALOT easier with some help from the traction control. It effectively optimises all the power/grip you have, a lot easier than trying to do it with your right foot. When I want to mess about I just switch it off.

T2 MSW Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Thats ace for pump fuel . Just goes to show my figure I was looking to is not so easy to achieve. Must admit did not like my ar being on the dyno so god knows what you were like when it started spinning up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Whiffin Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 Here's an overhead shot I took from a helicopter And Ryan's face when it made 600bhp at 1 bar, actually I think it was 0.9 bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stuart@Bigpower Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 How are the preparations for Time Attack coming along Paul? I know you're keen to unleash the full boost for those lovely long straights at Snetterton. I assume that Glen and the guys have organised a speed gun for the bottom of the Revett straight; any ideas what trap speeds you got last year? VIP may be available if you're interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VIP may be available if you're interested Alright mate, Last year I was hitting 161mph I think, 3rd fastest out of everyone and it was a full weight car back then! Probably wont be quite as quick as that in a straight line now though as its not running as much power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 OK, just got back from the dyno, its now running 750bhp at 1.5 bar boost. The boost is dropping off quite a bit as you'll see from the dyno sheet I'll post up later. If it could hold the 1.7 bar I want to run, it should hit 800bhp quite comfortably I would have thought. Pretty happy with that for the moment, more to come though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkR Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 750 seems pretty respectable. Can you put that all down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luxluc Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Nice result Paul. Any idea why you had boost drop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 Nice result Paul. Any idea why you had boost drop? Could be boost leak(which I doubt), more than likely wastegate spring to soft as its running 0.8 bar base pressure which I need in there just in case it rains. Could also be to much back pressure or turbo running out of puff, which I doubt as I know people running 3 bar boost on a slightly smaller AR size than mine. I'll probably try the wastegate spring first when I get a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 Here's the dyno sheet, remember I'm not after huge amounts of power here, if I was I'd just bolt a GT42 back on there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Very nice indeed, bet thats fairly rapid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 Very nice indeed, bet thats fairly rapid Not to bad, still doesn't excite me much. I'm sure it'll feel good on the track though. Be even better if I get the boost drop off sorted out, you can see the torque curve dissapear with the boost.

Thorin Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 749BHP (with more to come) not huge amounts of power? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm used another 100bhp, thats the problem, I'm sure I'll get it close to what I'm after soon though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 The spool looks pretty good (i know the 3.4 will help) on that for a fair size turbo, i bet thats a nice drive with that power:cool: what .ar is that Gt4094? divided or undivided?
