scoobyclinics turbo's just got billet I mean better!
Hi,
yesterday was Time attack at Brands Hatch, as a bit of fun the organisers asked us to race a very powerful race bike, we accepted the challenge.
A triumph cup bike was wheeled out complete with its slicks and the race commenced.
We won.
We also won our class in Time attack and overall we were in faster than some pro cars.
A great weekend for the billet turbo's.
Pics to follow.
cheers

Curious choice of bike, that one (perhaps it's the only one they can get). Basically a stock 600 with about 115bhp and a no-name rider. A bit of marketing for Triumph I guess, but would be a lot more interesting if they put a BSB or even a BSS bike out there. But, having a bike kick the cars' ***** (in the dry) isn't exactly what the organizers would want!!

The bike was a stripped out Triumph 675cc road bike running on slicks, power is 125 BHP, weight is 155Kg, + a rider giving a power to weight ratio of 532 BHP per ton.
Our car with driver was running mid boost setting of 1.6 bar in an attempt to safeguard the car for the final, giving us 426 BHP per ton.
Car and bike got one hot lap each.
Results, as I am informed, bike 53.2 seconds car 52.4 seconds, not bad considering the bike has a higher power to weight ratio and ran slicks whereas our car was on road tyres, with tax & test.
Our cars best lap time in the final was 51.06 and was the fastest Subaru of the day.
All good fun.
Cheers

Normally there is a BSB bike there and almost every time the bike has very marginally won.

For the record, I am well impressed with my (non billet) SC46. Amazing spool up and torque curve.
Hehe, yes I've had bikes (just one at the moment) for quarter of a century now and did a few years of club racing bang in the middle of that.
I also have a warmed-over RA (360bhp, APs, Ohlins) for road and trackday use.
Sorry for hijacking!

Would be mad to watch but the insurers would never allow it! The characteristics are sooo different - a good TA car will brake later and harder (4 big tyres), will carry more corner speed (tyres again, and the relative ease of holding 4 wheels on the limit), then lose out on corner exit due to weight difference.

Interesting. Now lets compare tyre contact patch areas and the consequences of making a mistake
As you say, all good fun

A splash of rain would turn the tables, but perhaps not by as much as you might think.

Hi kev

What would be the engine drivetrain requirements needed to run the SC36 on a UK MY00 Classic ?
Let's as an example say...
Ecutek
FMIC
440 Injectors (standard)
Uprated fuel pump
Standard gearbox
If mapped conservatively for safety of the car would this detract from the turbo's fast spool up etc or is this just a little step to far forward for a relatively standard set up and more suited to it's sti equivalent.
Reading through this thread has been very interesting indeed it has to be said I'm running a vf28 at the minute, and looking at examples for upgrades the step appears to be in the area of vf34 vf35 Td05-16G but all seem to be on the safety limits of the virtually standard set up.
Interested to hear if the SC36 falls into this next step or just a little outside it for the car as it stands.

Simon

all the inlets on the direct fit turbo's are standard 56 mm, the only one that requires a custom size inlet pipe is the SC54 Billet, which needs a 70mm inlet, pipes in stock.
