Abz Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Am I the only one wondering why the shell is a left hooker? Good point, didn't even notice that! That is very rare! I am sure Ash or his son will explain the reasons why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevins Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 either to be different or a space issue possibly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 It's a drag car knowing ash's sons last car so I don't think corners are an issue. The left hook is interesting tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshBhp Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 Thanks guys . Our customers bought this car of his mate who imported it from USA, the friend could not get the car running properly and gave up as the car had a lot of issues. When we got the car we striped the engine and were very pleased the build was of high quality. The biggest problem was the whole wiring and fuel/injector set up, so scraped that and started a fresh build. The spec is- Benson built B18c CP pistons & manley turbo tuff rods 10:7 compression race port & polish B16 head Ferrea valvetrain Skunk2 Pro1 cams Full Race Twin Scroll Top Mount Manifold Garrett GT4294R with 1.28 Exhaust Housing Hondata S300 The weakest link now is the gearbox and drive shafts. £££££ We shall see how she holds at Pod this Sunday.

Abz Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 His running 736 BHP out of a B18c! Surely that is a record out of a 1.8 litre engine? His only 251 BHP away from a Veyron which needs a 8 litre engine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Who uses the throttle in the corners? Have you tracked a RWD car? I drive an N/A don't forget, I can go full throttle in the corners:p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshBhp Posted March 27, 2011 Author Share Posted March 27, 2011 Update and about to leave for Pod. "What a crazy day, started working on the car at 10am Saturday and finished at midnight. First outing on the road, the 5th pull in 4th gear at 5000rpm 4th gear broke. We ended up fitting another S9B box which was from a bad source, wouldn't select 1st and 2nd. So had to end up taking that back out, and stripping down both to make one. Once that was all done, we done a quick road tune which was quite pointless no traction in any gears. So will have to finish up at the track Sunday". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 wow with the extra grip at the pod i can only see more things breaking! good luck though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshBhp Posted March 27, 2011 Author Share Posted March 27, 2011 wow with the extra grip at the pod i can only see more things breaking! good luck though! Yep, all good fun. Yasir going to be gentle when launching. We will be happy if we can get 2 good pulls and 1 last heavy pull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Crazy machine, so when you have cleared all the breakers of gearboxes what are you going to fit that has some hope dealing with the loadings? Then you can take the whole lot out and stick it in the BACK of something to give it some traction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshBhp Posted March 27, 2011 Author Share Posted March 27, 2011 Well guys, the car drove there and back home with 10.85 et 137mph Our first problem was Pod ran out of C16 race gas and only had C14. So we had no choice but to use the C14, which meant the fueling will be all out. Yasir had to remap the fueling after every run and we had only 4 runs. First run we got 12et, on the last run we got the 10.85 sec, Yasir was a bit disappointed as there was loads more in it, but time ran out. So watch this space......
