dude Posted April 21, 2010 Author Share Posted April 21, 2010 Well after a whole day fabricating bits while I went and picked up a spare UK diff and uprated drive shafts Matt and Paul have the engine ready to run, so as soon as morning coffee is over we can start her up.

dude Posted April 21, 2010 Author Share Posted April 21, 2010 As soon as this is in the car we will start on the 3.4 bottom end and T6 frame turbo, hope to run that at TOTB and suprapod and keep this bottom end as a spare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 All this talk of 3.4's lately has got me wishing I'd finished mine off, ah well. Looking forward to seeing the results John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dude Posted April 22, 2010 Author Share Posted April 22, 2010 Just a little update, we had loads of things to alter on the loom etc to get my engine on the dyno, after running it for over 3 hours we tried to do a few light sweeps with load but it was like the engine was hitting a soft cut at 5000 rpm, we just changed a cam sensor and that seems to be fine, so we tried a quick sweep to test it and the results were 492 hp and 516 ft lb @ 1 bar and 5000rpm so it looks promising for higher boost and revs. Off to stick some decent oil in it now.

Jamesy Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 results were 492 hp and 516 ft lb @ 1 bar and 5000rpm ... what rev limit are you going for John? and whats the most boost you think you can run on it? Going to be MeNtaL !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted April 22, 2010 Author Share Posted April 22, 2010 ... what rev limit are you going for John? and whats the most boost you think you can run on it? Going to be MeNtaL !!!! 8500 ish and 2.5 maybe 3 bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dude Posted April 22, 2010 Author Share Posted April 22, 2010 OK peeps, still having problems at 5300 so the engine is off the dyno as we don't have time to sort this out, the engine is now pretty much run in so im convinced that the problem will not be there with the engine in the car. So tommorow the engine and box will be in the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagman Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Good grief -thats 861 bhp @5000 and 2.5 bar with another 3500 to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagman Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 lots of 14.7 s on the top divided by 14.7 on the bottom times the 492 at 1 bar - adjusted to atmospheric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandan Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 If you take the 492 and divide by 2 (for equivalent of 1bar boost on top of 1bar of atmospheric pressure) =246 then multiply by 3.5 (for equivalent of 2.5bar on top of 1bar of atmospheric pressure) =861. I'm not saying I am in agreement with the theory (assuming that gains are 100% linear with MAP with no additional losses) but there you go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
