car is amazing, so jealous.... just wondered although it probably tells me somewhere in the thread but did u make the that center piece of the dash yourself with the gauges and switches on or buy it from somewhere. i only have a classic but thats the sort thing i am after.

Hi Chris

I made that along with a lot of the other stuff - was on last years project thread.

Not hard to do really.

 

VERY useful and enjoyable day testing at Oulton yesterday. Aside from a few small bugs and fixes, the car is ready for round 1 !

Massive thanks to Bren and Mike from BC Racing for their support in the paddock and the constant supply of food / drink

 

oh .... and the Lateral spec GT35/82 is sweet

Sounds amazing and is VERY spooly - will be just perfect for TA

 

"VERY spooly" is that an official technical term..............LOL

sounds good, alyn

 

It works for me Alyn

In reality it isnt much different from the 321V

 

I would hope its producing alot more power!!

 

It will do for def but we were talking about the spoolinessity

 

Oh you can't beat a bit of spooliness

 

 

That does look the biz Dunc.

 

Cheers Steve.

Going on the dyno on saturday to map up the GT35 and see what it will do. Hopefully see some good figures although wont be chasing outright power just good driveability and reliability. Will tickle it with some nitrous too

Also going to be changing the rear diff having got hold of a spare R180 rear diff to build the new Zen LSD into

 

Awesomne!

If I wasnt busy Sat then Id be there. Got tickets for opening day at Flamingo Land. The place is usually dead when it first opens for the season so you just spend all day getting off and straight back on all the proper rides. I dont have a car at the moment so youve got to get the adrenaline from where you can

Get videos Dunc, videos!

 

Will do Bren

 

looking good duncan

 

Aren't you meant to have a minimum ground clearance Duncan ?
They banned that kind of idea you are running on the side years ago!
But I my be wrong for TA

 

yes 40mm

 

Had fun on the dyno today over at Zen

First off I would like to say thanks to Paul at Zen for letting me use his rollers and for his usual great advice on setting the car up for TA. Also for videoing the run for me whilst I was controlling the loud buttons in the car. For some reason the sound didnt come out too well but you get the idea, it was quite noisey though

Anyway, the facts ... lateral performance GT35 hybrid turbo specced by Mark at Lateral designed for uber response but as you can see it does great for power and torque too - cheers mark

I am still running on 1000cc injectors so these were maxed out with running on Greenergy E85 so didnt get a chance to run more than 1.9 bar peak and didnt have the nitrous on. With more boost and with the NOS it should be an even nicer figure. That will have to wait til after oulton now though.

The built EJ257 is still on 100% from the factory hawkeye sti heads and cams ..

Anyway the video:



You can see from the screen at the end the lambda trace leaning out.

The graph:



Pretty chuffed with this result

 

Awesome numbers and graph Duncan, and to think there is a fair bit more to come as well Rocket ship

 

You need the big tings mate!!

 

hi mate , saw you testing the car at Oulton the other day , looked good , hope it all goes well ..
cheers rich

 

cheers Rich - was only running on wastegate pressure there as the test was for other things and i hadnt had time to map it yet (all done now). Did have a few issues but got plenty enough running to sort a set up for the tyres out and scrub two sets of tyres in

 

Awesome

 

Diff nearly built now..

 

Awesome. See you tomorrow Paul.

Will be a vast improvement over the STD diff

 

Don't suppose you could post your boost graph up please Duncan?

I'd just like to see how your's spools compares to mine as I'm still having the rotated verses front mount dilema.

 

Good stuff Dunc Look forward to seeing it in action

 

Your wish is my command ... blah blah etc etc

I have to say I didnt do anything about bringing the boost in earlier would more concentrating on the mid and top end as if I am at 3500 rpm on track then I need driving lessons

I think it will come in slightly earlier if encouraged a little harder.

 

Thanks mate,

It's virtually identical to mine. So looks like I will go back to rotated as I wont lose much, if any spool.

Here's mine

 

mine looks like spooling 2-300 rpm sooner Daz un less i am reading your graph wrong.

I think front mount is a lot of work for minimal benefit, but boost threshold is only part of the story though, response would be improved and you cant measure that on a dyno graph.
