michel lane Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 (edited) She has been running for the last month now , ready for the dyno tune with Ryan on Tuesday . After this is booked to get the seats leathered and stereo fitted. Unfortunately I have to sell her. This car drives so nice, the noise of the exhaust is just right and the spool of the turbo makes sweet music . Will have some dyno print outs on tuesday ,I would like 650-700hp with a safe tune. The turbo should be good for 750 (sp71 .81ar gts). I should have polished her ,rather then just a wash . All the dry water drops show on the pictures... the horsepower feaks plate is usually shinny but looks terrible in the pic ...

michel lane Posted March 9, 2011 Author Share Posted March 9, 2011 Great news , after Ryan doing his magic on the car ,we managed to get 704hp and 594lbs of torque. Ryan tells me that the car was spinning on the R888 , therefore the reading was slightly out . I said it must be over reading slightly then , Ryan's remake was "No under reading " ... he tells me that its easily a 750hp car, just need to put some normal tyres on it for the dyno next time . pics and video to follow. Its drives like a monster at 1.8bar !! , I got it set to 1.4 this is 600hp according to Ryan. On the way back home today , I managed to encounter a R8 and M5, lets say 180 liptons came up very fast , they were a figment of my imagination behind me .

Kopite Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Seen this car in person and it's awesome. The only thing that'd make it better is if you put the turbo on mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan.G Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 To put down 700bhp on R888 after about 40 dyno pulls at surrey rolling road means its got some serious grunt and to get a true figure now it needs to go on TDI... BUT would say at a mininum its 750bhp Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
