Very similar apart from V6 heads (mine are 4), think he has wilder cams than my DH22's and he has phase 1 inlet (so do I now) and verniers (I am on standard pulleys). I don't know of any 35R that has done more than his 665, thinks Mike L's billet 35 did 659 ? It's one hell of an impressive result !

 

...

 

Got there car back up and running today Topped the water up again, fitted the power steering reservoir and pipework and secured the header tank and fitted pipework. Then went round checking everything, cable tie where needed etc and made sure bolts, clips etc were all tight. Turned it over and it sprang back to life

 

Mapped a 2.5 just prior to Japfest this year that made very similar power to Simons with a smidge more torque. That was equipped with a 35R .82 from TD and Cosworth heads and cams. It made 665bhp and 620lbft @ 4500rpm on Sunoco MAXNOS race fuel, but does have the advantage of the AVCS.

 

Another impressive result Martin, Cossy cams will be helping there no doubt. If I get nearer the mid 600's on Maxnos I will be happy. I know you mapped you own car on Maxnos, have you done many others ? And what sort of gains over VPower/Meth mixes ?

 

Looking good..and well done for sorting all the final bits yourself ...just the map now and then we can see some results.

 

Thanks mate, just needs a little bit of 'Zen' now

 

It is difficult to say for sure how much exactly I gained on my own car due to carrying out a rise in boost at the same time. It definitely felt cleaner on the strip and the times showed that. Will be fitting a Nitrous kit to my car this week, so keep an eye out for some spare gear boxes will you, lol.
The big power Hawkeye we built ran 635bhp on Vpower and 706bhp on MAXNOS using a GT35/42R hybrid. The car mentioned above made 630bhp on VPower but just 665bhp on MAXNOS. I suspect the turbo was the pinch point on this car.

As an aside Clive, are you up for a weekend in Plymouth ?
We have every year in October an Evo vs Scooby rolling road day and could do with a ringer or 2.

 

Did the PS take off adaptor we made hold up Clive?

 

Perfectly mate, a quality piece of work

 

Nos for the next round at Shakespeare then ?

Could be up for your RR day, let me know the date.

 

Looking good Clive

 

Cheers Banny.

 

My old Wagon is up for sale if anyone just wants circa 400 bhp https://www.scoobynet.com/private-fo...ean-wagon.html

 

Thats the plan, but as always customers cars filling the place so may not have time.

RR day is October 9th, let me know if you are up for it and I will get you details for a B + B and sort secure parking for the car and trailer if reqd.

 

Will do Martin, will check the diary when back at work.

We are planning running at the PSDS next week with both cars btw.

 

Nice work Clive... best of luck with the map session

 

I will not be at the next round of the pro street ,car off the road for a while,have a good weekend though lads .
Marty

 

Clive,
You really are addicted mate
Sound job,
Do you see yourself ever running a gt42 etc,,

 

Cool, will see you there. Have you entered in the series or just doing the RWYB ?

I had been enjoying my brief lead of the championship ,

 

Not for the foreseeable future mate, as you know I run on a very tight budget which is why I just do little by little. Trouble is next size up if you exclude a 35/42 would need a change to twin scroll etc, thus upping the cost massively with all the supporting mods I would need. Still if my numbers come up you never know

 

Yes mate so I will only come for the Sunday, have just applied for a race number for the Type R too so 'little Paul' can have a go too.

 

Marty

Is that why you are not on the reserve for TOTB?
What you getting done if you don't mind me asking?

Peter

 

Head gasket has gone

 

After finishing off the blue car ready for trip to Zen on Tuesday I spent some time on the Type R. I noticed a couple of weeks back that the inlet hose was well and truly pinched under the inlet manifold which was restricting air flow and therefore boost higher in the rev range. Paul mapped to 1.6 bar but when trying higher boost it was not making more power now I know why. Driving on the road gave it away, you could up the boost but it would always tail off to 1.3 bar after 5000rpm.

So lots of messing around to get it in a better shape and a jubilee clip in the middle to help it keep it's form. Testing showed a vast improvement, after fiddling around with the AVC-R (I hate them btw) I managed to get 1.8 bar mid range dropping to 1.6 bar I am happy with that, needs to go on the rollers again some time to see the improvement in figures.

Clive

 

feel for you mate!

 

Back to the blue car today with a trip to Zen. First it was mapped on V-Power/Meth to see what the new inlet manifold could flow. It made 606bhp @ 2.0 bar, this compares to 580 something on the old inlet.



Then in with the race fuel and result was 646bhp @ 2.2 bar, graph shows back to back with the last run in April at the same boost but on V-Power/Meth mix, so a 33bhp gain for the Maxnos. Also worth noting how high ambient temps were today compared to the April run.

Thanks again to Paul @ Zen for once again finding more power

 

Nice figures there clive, i hope it gets you the 9's your looking for at totb.

 

That's impressive considering you're not running avcs!

 

great work big fella and paul @zen am looking forward to totb now and hopefully with that little bit extra u will get a personal best time on the sunday n score team scooby some good points as its game on this year with the evo boys
