Banny

 

Dont know enough to be commenting on Bhp graphs etc. but your a better man than me because id have had the graph printed on my bonnet with big neon lights around it and a siren. lol

Fantastic result mate well done. giv your sen a pat on back

 

Quality effort Banny!!! thats some setup and great figures!!!

Jase

 

Those receipts would scare me to death! Worth every penny i imagine

 

Had my christmas list for Santa sorted. Time to review it, think I will just cut and paste your spec's. Looks out of this world.

 

well done Banny I have a car im hoping will see 600 hp when its remapped,
its basicaly a full Zen built 2.5 gt35 ect ect in a 2003 blob built for the road and some rwyb stuff at present it has 575 hp from 1.8 bar and will soon go for a remap as that was just to let it run easily it was done on pump gas only and were hoping for 600+ with pump gas alone, we are running at santa pod next weekend at the saturday night shootout anyone comming??? as a road car im shure 620 is awesome I realy hope to find out

well done again and thanks to paul and zen for a nice car

 

It is awesome you really will not be disappointed and hope you get the magical 600bhp figure on your next remap. Keep us updated on your progress

I think this is the car Paul mentioned on my build thread.
Is this block a strengthened EJ257 (inserts around the bores)?

This is what I'm having done at the moment as my block is with Zen as I write this. Cosworth internals, ported avcs heads with Cosworth S2 cams and a front mounted GT35R. All this is going into a V3 Type R so it should be quite lairy when its done

Well done on the car Banny I bet its awesome in the flesh.
What injectors are you using?
Might come along and see it in action at Elvington this weekend

 

The car uses modified 380cc injectors that will flow up to 900cc at 4 bar fuel pressure, fingers crossed that the car will be ready to go by the weekend.

Banny

 

thats some monsters you guys are building banny and bad bird keep us posted how you get on the strip and good luck

mus

 

We ended up with a pair of heads that were origionaly destined for zens race car,
these have cosworth cams avcs ported ect its fairly drivable for such a big spec car, after such a build you would expect teething problems ther most we had was a ic pipe blow off bigger clamp job done and its been trouble free
a real credit to Zen

 

Launch control setup, car is ready to go hopefully have some decent weather on the weekend and the gearbox holds up

Banny

 

In the words of Darth Vader, impressive... now get it up the strip and lets see what it can do

Should it be a sub 10's at this level of tune?

 

Should be capable of 10s but to get it to sub 10's would mean extensive weight loss and quite possibly more power.

Banny

 

Best of luck Banny, the kind of power you have should see you well into the mid to low 10's.

 

Low 10s I would of thought - mid 10s is achievable to low to mid 500s

Keep us posted

 

santa pod tomorow first time on the track.....see if it comes home in 1 piece ;-)

 

so what times did you make then.?

 

Only car I saw doing 10's runs was a Skyline....

dunx

P.S. Elvington, and how's your new build coming along Arf ?

 

Did not make it to the strip due to supporting a friend at a bodybuilding contest over the weekend. Will endeavor to make it to the next event and put some times down before the close of the season.

Banny

Banny, Hi bud, its Jim from over the MLR, how reliable are the scoobs at this state of tune mate? Hows the diff, tranny box etc cope with all that power?

Awesome spec and nice quality parts, not much been skimped on, if anything at all, bet it doesn't want to stop with that built gearbox

 

Hi Jim "that car" is trying to out do this power graph Everything is holding up fine, though the gearbox is on borrowed time as it was never intended for this power level.

However the long ratios are awesome as once the power is in, it is a non stop roller coaster ride but will be removed shortly for a uk hawkeye 6 speed dccd box, which will have the dccd controlled through the solaris ecu.

The diff, shafts are all coping fine as it runs the R180 back end with the bigger diff and thicker driveshafts.

Banny

 

I think he'll have major problems even if he gets around your figures, those gt35's just eat ancillaries, one reason ive opted for a gt30, that little bit more forgiving on the diff and transmission.

hats off to you mate, can't be that many with this power used as a road car, are you going to be doing a lot of trackdays etc, if you don't already mate?

 

hoping to be up and running by the weekend dunx,fingers crossed.

 

which bodybuilding contest was this?

 

UKBFF british finals in Nottingham on Saturday and NABBA Britain in Birmingham on Sunday.

Ryan another lad from the gym was 4th at Nottingham, here training with Jeannie.

banny,why do you always take everthing i say the wrong way.i have been bodybuilding myself for the best part of 20 years now and was just curious as to which show it was thats all.as it happens a lad from our gym is competing at batley on the 31st and wants me to go support him,but if the cars back up and running he hasnt got a hope in hell of me being there.
