2.35. Very nice. good strong motor. Heard a lot of good things about Tracktive, they always had a good show of cars at the scooby sprint championship.

what sort of weight are you looking to get the car down to bez when its all finished.?are you gunna go full blown dash out stripped or are you gunna leave some bits in?

 

Lee hopefully I will be fitting your old spec -c engine into my classic shell this weekend then another couple of weeks have it fired up once I get the wiring for the syvecs sorted.
Bez i will be spectating for the first few rounds so will meet up for the crack glad to see you finally got onto 22b as well or should we be calling you Bez-vin diesel give it NOZzzzzzz

 

Seem to be going backwards with the weight thing, Noz bottle 11KG, roll cage 40kg.
All air bags are out of dash,
started stripping other parts of interior
I would like to get the weight down to 1350kg if pos
Last time I weighed it it was 1440kg

Arf you got your intercooler done?

4 weeks on Saturday to Spa

Bez

 

Bez take your door cards out and get a hole cutter and take as much metal out of the doors as you can then put the cards back in.

 

Yep Gus, will be good to catch up, shame yours is not ready so I can beat you again

Not long before it all starts now.

Chatting to Martin Jeffrey today about building a 2.2 and stroking it and costs,

Should of done what Lee did,

Bez

 

intercoolers back and on mate,i'm just waiting on my rad being altered so i havnt been able to do much at all till i get that back.

 

You still running that air heater on top of that engine is a front mount on the cards?
Nos looks good..what extraness is it gonna give you?

 

Yes still got Air heater on the top of the engine,,,, cheeky sod.
No front mount going on the car With this engine
Nos is just there to increase spool, not top end, but the Max extreme Nos controller is a clever bit of kit.
So it will squirt some in at low revs and then back down as the revs get higher, But you can also have it watching boost pressure, and give a squirt just to get bust back quicker,
either way, even without nos at the top end of the revs, it will still give a bit more power
But it low down where it is for.

Bez

 

Another engine planned already?

 

Was you having problems with yours,
Have you got it sorted,
Why are you not coming to Spa?

Bez

 

Engine still ill but Im starting work on it at the end of month, should be done by May
What date you got planned for Spa?

 

Subaru trackday Mark
we are going on the Saturday 17th March. in the morning,
over night at a nice hotel at spa.
18th all day Sunday on the track, and then a road race through Belgium to Rotterdam for the overnight ferry, home in time for work Monday morning.
If car is not well, do you fancy coming as Passenger?
Stick is going with Frosty
Thers Me

Bez

 

Why dont you by my short motor of me,
Alan J 2.5 forged, its only got 4000 mile on it,

Bez

 

Working mate. No more holiday days.
Engine sorted already.
You thinking of going 2.35 already!

 

Hope it goes well bud

noz with TMIC. good luck bud

 

like the project bez. pm me a price on short motor mate, or give me a shout at silverstone

andy

 

Its good, doing some fine tuning with it before Silverstone.
Charge temps come right down, and I mean right down. I'm not running Nos right through the rev range, just to get the Turbo spinning, and it does well, starting Nos at 1500, turbo spinning and on boost at 2500, Nos off at 4500
not producing much more power top end but loads more bottom end.

going on rollers soon for final set up., so will get a chart up.

Hows your doing,,, run in yet?

Bez

 

Looking good Bez !

( Getting silly ? )

LOL

dunx

 

Cheers Dunx,
Always work in progress

The Noz sounds like a really interesting route fella, not heard of this set up before

Mine came off the dyno on Friday after mapping and is now getting the road mapping finished off, hoping to get the phone call to collect it tomorrow

Looking forward to seeing the weight loss your doing with the car, mine is pretty much still a "full fat" spec c, it was 1350kg when it was corner weighted, that was with no rear seat and no floor mats, but I do not have a cage fitted. I keep getting told by Rich & Matt that I should be considering the weight loss and getting a cage fitted, not sure about that yet though, still like the luxuries

Will be good to have nosey around each others cars at Silverstone

Cheers,
Lee.

 

Lee, you must be buzzing about getting your car back, I know I was when I had the engine mapped, so frustrating while running in,

I put mine on the scales before I started it was 1440kg if I could get it down to 1350kg I would be happy.

your already down at 1350kg

I'v just had another silencer fitted to the exhaust to get the noise down, more weight there, cage still to go in.

11kg bottle of noz

the Nos is not for more power at the top, but just to get better spool.

and boy it does.

the spec C's are a fantastic car with no mods, so you have a far better started,
Mine is only a feeble WRX
we will defo have to catch up at Silverstone

Can I ask what power you got out of yours.

Bez

 

A good person to talk to about getting the (hawkeyes) car weight down would be Duncan Graham, you would assume he's been there and done that already

I have just got some 18x9.5s with the ABW arch extensions, side skirts and reversed bonnet scoop, may not be all done before Silverstone though? will be adding more weight though

Rich has given me 4 maps, 1.3, 1.6, 1.8 & 2bar all only on Vpower for now, managed to get us 607bhp & 531torx, I cant see me wanting to run at 2 bar though for reliability reasons, thinking of using 1.6 regularly and occasionally using 1.8 for a hot lap, hoping to get some Q16 in when she has a few more miles on it, should help a bit

 

As far as asking Duncan for advice, I don't like to,, as I don't use him for mapping, and don't want to be seen to be taking the urine.
I have herd he is good, but I use some others.

thought the 2.35 was good up to 800BHP.. 2 BAR all day long
607 is good power

very good power
it would be good to look at your graff

looking forward to competing against you,// with you
Q16 will push it upto above 650
20% Meth will give a good amount more than 607 and much better torque

Nos is the way forward,,,,,, I hope

Bez

 

Yeah your right the 2.35s can and have made more, but for how long? I would guess with Q16 650hp will be easily attainable, but the Q16 aint cheap. To be honest I thought it was fairly quick at 417hp, so running at around 570hp will be more than enough for me

how much does the Noz cost, is it expensive stuff to run? I've got visions of Fast & Furious

 

If you have made over 600bhp on VPower, I'd be willing to bet you could see near 700bhp on Q16.

 

how much does the Noz cost, is it expensive stuff to run? I've got visions of Fast & Furious [/QUOTE]

Lee I have more visions of Bez in tokyo drift but in his transit van with all his work gear crashing about inside

 

This is what controls the nos
its linked into the ecu
you can set it to run with Boost pressure, ARF, RPM, ect and you can set 4 maps, you can change these with out the use of a laptop too
there is no big red button on the steering wheel
but there is a switch under the red cover.

For an 11Lb bottle it is £5 per Lb so that would be £55 + VAT to fill a 11Lb bottle.
I am only using the Nos at low revs to get the Turbo spinning earlier, I dont think I will need to by any more nos this year, but time will tell.
I don't know what power I am getting from it yet, but it spools so early now with the nos

This is what I was getting without Nos
As soon as I have it on the rollers I will post Graph

Gus, I do like to drift abit, but the new van is FWD

Bez

 

Sounds cheap to run fella, as Martynj has stated I believe I should be getting another 80bhp with the Q16, this will be running it at 1part Q16 & 4parts Vpower, filling a (spec C) tank will cost about £230 so cant see me using it that often

and I've seen your drifting first hand

 

An update on the car,
Had a great season last year running in the Paceward MLR 22B sprint series
Finished 2nd in class
Last year we were working with our old engine that ran very well all year, running about 470bhp
We worked on aero on the car
Giving the car a flat floor, with a large splitter and a good size rear diffuser,
And ran a DRS System on the rear wing, this was manually operated by a button on the steering wheel
For this year we are moving away from the cars std ecu and will be running a alkitec ecu
The ecu will be controlling the DRS through the use of data logging and GPS, so the ecu will know where the car is on the track
The ecu will also Controle the 4 port Nos dry kit
We are also giving the car traction Controle,
We are on with the new engine, with will be ready for the end of Feb,
We are removing the hyperflow topmount and fitting a hyperflow monster front mount, thanks to Dunx
Rotating the turbo using the RCM kit, and fitting new 3 bolt gt spec rapped headers
Then bolting a billet gt3582 Owens race spec turbo
Fitting an extra silencer to try and reduce the noise,
We will be using ID 2000cc injectors and a dodgy fuel mix
