around 8 hours... reckon i could do it in 2 if hard pushed and with a hleper

think I'll stick to flip fronts and turbos!

nice plenium chamber, is it home made if i come too avon park will bring exhaust manifold with me, only 1 broken stud

plenum is home made...

Cheers for the manifold - just hope i can sort my fuel pressure gremlins out before wed, or the RR and Avon Park is a no-no!

weldone mate you got that done quick:)

Best 1/4 mile 13.2 seconds @116 mph
First 5 port miniturbo to make over 200 bhp on a carb?

plenium chamber, what kind of spec is it, did you do alloy welding,

I could do with a CAD drawing for it could get some made then.... or atleast one anyway, got a friendly TIG welder here...

Jims was just made by cutting the top off a std plenum, is this the way yours is done?

Id prefer to make one from scratch.

just one word: still this green colour, could'nt you buy a nice paint!!!!!!, this engine is needing it.:)

Fab, don't waste your time, I've already told dave that an engine must be red, but he will not listen

Team Racing

How many turbo engines are red?

How many are green, with a pressed steel rocker cover?

Enough said!

So what were the results dave?

Were still waiting with baited breath...

Did you make it?

Did she run?

Have you got 200 bhp!!??

I can smell your breath from here!

It made more power than last year on the same boost...
Intercooler and rockers have clearly done the trick!

?? Saving the results for avon??

Nah thats no fun, spill the beans!

150 at the wheels...

Feels quicker, but not, if you get my drift...
No? hum, not a clue. Very tired. Need sleep.
3 1/2 hrs of work left.

Sleep.

kabooom!

Should be great to drive

Have you got logs of ACTs vs Boost and rpm? Jim sent me over his ages back and it would be good to compair.

Great power, Dave

150 at the wheels is good mate! should equate to a v.good flywheel power. MW managed 144 at the wheels on the RR day. Obviously you cant really compare the two unless they were both done same day same rollers but its certainly interesting.

Different measuring sticks, different days!

I'm not a total power junkie - a fast 1/4 time is all i'm concerned with!

Good stuff mate !!

Hope i can keep up with you tomorrow ......

thats good power dave, althought i agree with you on the two points you made, firstly i love the look of the green engine, the only reason why mine is red is because i just wanted to get some colour on it and i needed to get the engine in asap when i was doing it.

when it come out i will be doing mine in the austin green, but with an alloy rocker cover.

and also like you said, its not all about power (ok yes it is to a certain degree) but if you can make good times it proves you had set up the car well suspension wise etc.

good luck to everyone this weekend!
