A little bird said 285 BHP, just under 300 BHP and about 350 BHP for a three well known Scoobs belonging to Messrs Brown, Cosie, TeknoP in no particular order

For the man with the Dawes, 0.5mm increments in the drill hole go quite a long way - at 2mm I could not get BELOW 18 PSI. At 0.5mm I could not get below 8 PSI or above 17 PSI. Also the spring being stretched to about 50% longer than its standard length for a few seconds works wonders Don't lose you ball(s) like one poor chap did but you are not that sort of guy Chasing you soon I hope (in the car that is )

Today, seen the birth of the 300bhp club. Which only has a few members. Everyone got impressive figures and one was just awesome, CC stand up and take a bow. A feat of engineering to produce 350lbs torque and 350bhp Not satisfied with that he was like Blackpool P.Beach taking folks out for runs. You should have charged for that mate, worth every penny.

A really quite day, with I think only eight cars running and a few spectators.

Another highlight of the day was the speedtrap on the dual carrageway. Sneeeeeeky peepers sitting in a layby, with the gun pointing out the back of the open van doors. A bit below the belt, but we are easy targets early on a Sunday morning....with hardly any traffic on the roads, we were a real threat to society. Good to see the lads on top of the real criminals [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

I have taken some pics and will post them soon.

Thanks for organising it John, Excellent day

Well pleased with my results, just wish I had got a print of my 1st run that was my best one as the water was heating up in the temporary cooling container I had in the back seat Once I get the charge cooler radiator fitted, I'll be back !!!

Actual figures were
Run 1 Power 349 @ 5750rpm PAW 263 TQ 343
Run 2 Power 332 @ 5600rpm PAW 258 TQ 342

The bit that gives the car the 'kick' is the graph showed over 330 lb torque from 3700 through to 5400 rpm

I even managed to get my own back on T-uk with a bit of sideways round the mini roundabouts

8 - 12 cars seems to be the way to go for these dyno days.
It was a nice relaxed atmosphere today with a bit of fun to be had as well with 40 > 90 and 50 > 100 acceleration times being run on the rollers.

Jim even had time to have a burger from the barbie'

Big thanx to John also Jim & Brian @ Star Performance.

And Cheers to Mike for the BBQ (top cheeseburger ).

Had a nice lie in this morning so by the time we got down all the Evo's had run, but we soon got filled in on the results.Mine was the first scoob on the rollers, being the least modded, giving the rest of them a figure to beat .Next up was Andy's and MAN was that impressive , you could see it lifting right out of the rollers and the wail from the LSD was pretty loud too.Alans was next, again very impressive and you could tell by the lift that the torque figure was gonna be good.Then after a bit of last minute tinkering (in true fashion ) Petes 'big red' took to the rollers and produced some healthy numbers.

The new set-up for the rollers, shortens the run time & is better for the cars, especially us without FMIC's, so not so stressfull on the mota.Temps were measured at the airbox this time giving readings of around 25 instead of the usual 40+, Jim explained that it equates to a lower power figure doing this, but probes cost £100 each and he used to keep melting them, so he going to keep using this method.

Lastly thanks to Andy for the blast in the RA (scary ) and please could I have my fingernails back...they are embeded in your dashboard
