watch the paintwork...................

 

 

Starting to come together Simon - looking good.

 

Misfire sort I believe. Took it out to check once coils changed
Spool is ridiculas - bigger turbos wont be an issue.
Sticky plate fitted


Door cards fitted



Simon

 

Saw the video of the first start up, filmed from the rear of the car. Jumped out my skin when it backfired, its sooooo mean.

Should be called Lean Mean Green Machine lol

 

Loving the door cards Si, where from?

 

all the best subarus have 555 no. plate.

 

I'm confindent i know the scenery in the background of those photos

Does this mean you'll be busy this evening mapping further?

 

Motordrive

 

No mapping tonight stig.

 

If you do it of an evening/weekend, let me know and i could meet you there to pick up those parts if it's ok with you?

 

Simon

 

Who's is that then Si?

 

Mine, for sale £25k

 

Managed to spare some time on the car today.

Many thanks to surrey rr for dyno time, nice safe 1.5bar map ready for shake down of the car at Marham, whcih I am now rather looking forward to.

What did she make at 1.5 Si ??

 

nice vid, love the flames

 

Are the exhaust meant to stick out like that!!!

 

I'd bet on around 580 bhp ??

 

there temp tail pipes to get the fumes in the extraction as previously 3runs and your eye are streaming..

I have 3 sets of tail pipes lol the long ones for the dyno, these turned downwards ones in the hope it is quieter for noise tests and another set that exit straight, same both sides



Simon

 

highest run we got before the tyres melted was 721bhp 680lb @ 1.5bar with still more to come

Simon

 

I'd go for more, it made 425bhp on 0.5 bar.

 

Nice one Si

 

Nice, what you hoping to get after these first figures.

 

Thats AWESOME!!

What sort of figures you think its capable of??

 

Jeeeez nice figures, I forgot it's 3 litre!!! Doh!

Giz a go mister pleeze ??

Well done Si, seems a a driveable beasty!!


Only teasing about exhausts, knew there must be madness in the method ... or something!

 

I bet she pulls really nice out on the road with that tidal wave of torque

 

I am hessitant to allow the torque to go up much more..

there will come a point when more boost doesnt give anymore power as the engine is very efficent with the cams I am using.. but the flat boost profile at low solenoid duty is promising..

Ultimately I would like to see 1000.. but these turbos wont do it even with race fuel..

But it comes a point when actually I am building it to go fast not just numbers on a graph... needs some playtime both racing and playing on the dyno some more.

Superb, can`t wait to see it being used in anger so to say.

 

Sounds like a TOTB car ... for the road
(subaru SNET camp of course! _
