Special thanks must go to Richard at FB Tuning who built the engine and helped me throughout, his dog Tyler because it never bit me (its really a lovely dog), and Bob Rawle who is without doubt amongst the best mappers in the business. Two really top class guys and both highly recommended.

Couple of other pics - amazing how they all look the same (apart from the rubbish on my garage floor)

 

Looks lovely, nice build with nice spec. Well done

 

Looks an awesome spec mate ! i cant see pics at work though so cant see the figures lol

 

R-E-S-U-L-T
Great spec and looks too

 

quite a heart you put in!!

 

And its just as well she doesn't know just how much I spent otherwise I may not have one for much longer

Thanks to the guys above for their comments as well.

 

Looking good Fred

 

great spec and nice figures.
are my eyes deceiving me or is the boost really up around 2.8bar.?

 

Lovely set-up mate, nice clean/tidy install

 

Upper lines are bhp and the lower numbers are boost although I expect 2.8bar would be interesting.

 

Hi Cliff,

Hope you are keeping well. How is your build coming along?

Fred

 

most of us are in that boat i think mate!!

 

Very nice powers nice and early on those graphs
Bet it's a monster to drive ?
Mick

 

Hi Mick
Yes its turned into a really good road car to drive. Its very drivable at low revs which was a bit of a concern with those cams but picks up very quickly for a lardy newage as you may expect with that torque curve.

I've entered the RAF Marham 30-130 event which will probably be the best test I can give it without stressing the transmission too the extreme.

Fred

 

Hi Fred. Im well, thanks... Build has started at API. I look forward to the results. Went for a 2.5 with sc46 twin-scroll in the end. Should be interesting to see how it goes, Oh and your old simtek too Hope to see you soon and cheers for asking.

 

Very good mate :-)
Hope it goes well pal
Mick

 

Nice result that ! Why such low boost though ?

Look forward to seeing you at 30-130

 

Hi Clive,

Just wouldn't take anymore boost on the dyno. On the road the boost target is set at 1.8bar and it holds it fine. Bit strange I have to agree and I intend to give Charlie a ring and run it up again just to see what it does. Bob's remote 'in car' boost gauge was reading over 1.6bar.

Also looking forward to meeting up with you and the rest of the 22b crowd.

Fred

 

thats some serious boost your running through the md! really good figures, job well done,
the heart will be more can capable to to take more than that power

 

what a douche i am looking at the wrong figures hahaha! normally have AFR an boost on our graphs! sorry but looks really well

 

is that 2.8 bar on the methanol map or have i misread that? dont know how to read these graphs lol

 

No Eddy its not 2.8 bar I am pleased to say and you are not alone believe me.
The top lines are the bhp and relate to the left hand scale and the lower lines for the boost scale on the right.
Fred

 

No worries and thanks for the compliment.
Cheers

 

It was a pleasure to build and install for you Fred

I'm looking forward to taking it for a quick blast sometime soon

 

**** me, what a spec! Must be on the road.

TX.

PS

We can catch up at Marham as I'll be there too (so long as FBT can sort the boost level & crazy miss-fire in time )

 

ahh right, that makes sense, cheers, power comes in well early with so much torque! must be an animal! bet your chuffed!

 

Its only as mental as your right foot wants it to be.
It is a good spec though

 

Hi Rich,
Well we certainly had a few laughs. You are more than welcome to give it a blast and I am looking forward to meeting up with you again in early Feb all being well.
Thanks again and all the best,
Fred

 

Cracking build mate..

Certainly makes the car a different beast.

 

Fred for me it was an absolute pleasure to be involved in a project that was so well planned and executed, the build is a real credit to all concerned including yourself as I know you were also hands on with it.

We actually wanted to run a little more boost to see if we could crack the 500 bhp barrier on V Power alone, but the engine is very efficient and so the boost persistently dropped even with max solenoid duty in place. On the road it does boost higher at the top end.

Car is great and your decision to go for a Syvecs very much vindicated.

Now have fun !!!

best regards

Bob
