Pig Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 All done and dusted! Picking her up tomorrow. All run in, running and now running @ 1.2 bar (so will be taking it easy on the engine for the first 500 - 700 miles that should be good to drive hard for the dragon ball.) Rolling road figures: 447RWHP and 471.3 Torque @ 1.2 Bar Dead chuffed with the figures, didnt expect them to be that high - cant wait to drive her, will let you all know what its like!

Pig Posted May 2, 2007 Author Share Posted May 2, 2007 Thank you, im sure i will. Im a bit scared as never driven a high powered RWD car. Going to try to pull a favour from matt harwood to get the RLTC re-connected before the DB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Great news Jon, must be a great feeling to be finally getting her running properly Sorry if I missed something, but are you still using the BL T61? Did you change anything else in the build? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Just take it easy Jon and get used to it. Just remember to change gear:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunna be tough making sure i take it easy when i get it back I cant afford not to though! Nice one Thanks mate, your turn soon! Great news Jon, must be a great feeling to be finally getting her running properly Sorry if I missed something, but are you still using the BL T61? Did you change anything else in the build? Yeah. Fingers crossed it will have been worth the wait, certainly the way to go! If only i had listened lol! Yep, stayed with the T61. Put a big old fuel system on there and the AEM. That with the manual should cover it. Just take it easy Jon and get used to it. Just remember to change gear:D Dont you know there are going to be many red faced moments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Just seen your build thread, not sure how I missed it! Sounds like it should be a beast Wez's car has a very similar setup and is an absolute animal, easily the fastest street Supra I've been in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Posted May 2, 2007 Author Share Posted May 2, 2007 Im noticing a trend here with the fact that i used to thrash the sh1t out of my old engine when stone cold ill be honest now, i was sure it needed a rebuild so was helping it. lol This engine will get 100% respect when cold and at the end of journeys..... will get used "properly" though Off to go and check out Wez's spec now P.S Cant believe you missed it homer, almost all my posts mentioned it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juanchan Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Looking forward to seeing it at some events this year! I probably wasn't a member at the time, so what happened "last time"?

Pig Posted May 2, 2007 Author Share Posted May 2, 2007 Looking forward to seeing it at some events this year! I probably wasn't a member at the time, so what happened "last time"? Other than you driving it like you're trying to break it?? I bought the car, turned it BPU, Ran 1.4 bar max (UK SPEC CAR) with very high EGT's topping about 950 C. Had issues with car, had turbo's taken off to diagnose the prob. decided to put 2nd hand hybrids on as didnt want 100k turbos going back on. one blew on its first run so went single. Not including fuel system. had it mapped, turned up boot with a bleed valve....to be fair to me i think i had already snapped a piston before as it had absolutly NO power until boost came on and basically has the worst single known to man. Took the car off the road in July to save up to have all this work done! AND BREATH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like the kind of experience with a car that would put a lot of people off bothering anymore. I bet you're glad you persevered through it all. Enjoy it!
