Terry Gilham Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 This was a good day, Some of the Invited cars didn't turn up which would have made the shoot out at the end a bit more exciting but I think the track was going well for the cars. Dudes car looked quick all day, the Black whiff bitz supra looked very impressive but could see struggling to get the power down in the start we were was sitting middle of the track and it really went well after half way Sounded Awesome. The orange Supra which I think is leons did sould like it was mis firing. The supras put on a good show as the skylines were not doing much. The Fensport corralla did look good but after every run they had the bonnet up spraying water over the engine and intercooler. The rusty old beetle was quite good running 11.9's.

MONKEYmark Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 hi just got back after 450 mile round trip stayed over in chester. was well chuffed for dude doing a 10.9 got most of runs on vid. not long been in. dudes car just seemed to grip and go. was that mad flutter sound the wastegate? will update times in a bit if you want all info putting up like turbos fuel headlight pulled drags or slicks let us know. could not belive the size of the veilside manifolds on leon and paul w`s cars. and leons intercooler was fooking huge, is that a greddy 4 row or a custom job. think it is great news for the BL turbo kit got best time for supras. stayed till the end when they gave out trophys and they were talking to the fensport guy and he said its the fastest toyota in the country. does he not know of the crd supra. the fensport corolla supposed to have run a 10 the day before. paul w did not seem to be doing burnout to heat tyres up well done to all, it was a good day out to say i was not going till 10pm day before ps other half got a good pic of dude doing a good burnout will post up in a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry S Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Mark it is great news and confirms BL's position at the top of the tree. With hardcore drag racers like you and Dude the next year will be interesting. How long before I get Leon to throw alway those laggy HKS twins for a fast spooling BL single kit?:flame Dev BTW, that FMIC is a custom on Leon's car. It's the biggest god damn IC I have seen. When it runs right that thing should freakin fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That flutter sound is compressor stall. You get it when letting off throttle lightly on stock twins as well, but its not nearly as loud. Basically, its +pressure going in reverse through the turbo thats not gone through the BOV. You can adjust your BOV if its really bad because it can wear on the blades, but most big singles all flutter. I like the sound myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don`t beleive so but I stand to be corrected if I am wrong, i think surge is caused by the turbo spinning up to fast and over speeding which is different to compressor stall, this would be caused by an incorrectly sized turbo normally. Anti surge housings are also resonably new i think and are now being offered as an option on most turbo kits, i have no idea how they work though.

Guest rotarygoth Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Thought I pay a visit to the MK4 owners to congratulate Dude on his 10.9 run which I saw on Monday! Fantastic car, in fact Dude's, Leon's (which sounded scary - but probably more so because of the misfire) and Paul Whifin's were all great to see! in fact it was good to see the Supras out in force! Glad you guys all enjoyed Rotorstock. Shame some of the other invited cars didn't grace us with their presence. 2nd race RX7 slicks had been all noise and no go so i thought the same thing goes , all of a sudden he running low 11's (NOS according to a marshall) so its catchup time , overtook him about 2 cars before the line I guessing that was the Red RE:Works car! One of the quickest rotarys in the UK! Anyway, glad that all feedback has been positive! cheers Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supraguy Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Originally posted by mawby The HKS SSQV BOV can make this noise too, does on mine. (That's if you've got one obviously) I have had an HKS SSQV before and after going single, and its not ever made the noise I am talking about. Its also 100% sure not wastegate. Wish I had a vid of the sound I am talking about. Maybe a search on Supraforum's will bring it up. Adrocktt (moderator) from Supraforums has some vids of his single Supe with compressor surge if you look for it. Here's quote from a PM: I run 2 HKS SSBOVs and that noise on my car isn't a good one. It isn't bad persay since there is little to no boost at that RPM/Load but it is minor compressor surge. The BOVs are adjusted to let out the large loads of 30psi not 1-2 minor bits of pressure. When there is simply light boost they often flutter in the sound you are reffering to. It imitate, get 2 smaller BOVs adjusted for a large turbo, get a large turbo, and rev it pretty much out of gear or let off throttle with very light boost build. There really isn't another way. Most turbos that are at all sizeable would do it, and even the bigger bovs will flutter unless you run a small one in conjunction to take care of that small boost I mentioned. The HKS SSBOV sounds great at BPU, I ran it and didn't want to go away from it. Try it down on your FMIC hardpipe (if you have one) and I almost forgot, at BPU it WILL flutter under the same moderate conditions with no stock BOV in the loop.

I'm guessing that Jeff was still setting the beast up, I know he was trying for good runs and longevity. He managed 30 runs over the weekend then drove the bugger back to Portsmouth! So I guess he managed to get the reliable fast rotary after all! Yep, can defo sound like bikes when the redline is upped! And Us rotary types are all good sports, haven't you heard:p !
