Re: [FINALIZED] REV 5 Turbo, Forged 460BHP Comos Blue SOLD

Thanks for the kind words people. Cheers Shane, looking forward to plenty of sleepless nights AGAIN :lol: To answer a few questions. It's a UK car. There was a problem with the speedo not working correctly when the last owner had the car, so the clocks were changed to try and solve the problem which...

Re: Dan's Cosmo Blue, REV 5 T-Bar Turbo, YVS Built, Fensport Tuned *sold*

I've just found out i have another baby on the way.....so having 3 cars just isn't possible anymore. So this beast is up for sale. I've loved every second of owning it but it's time to move on sadly. https://www.imoc.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?p=1706414#1706414 https://live.staticflickr.com/7850/466...

REV 5 Turbo, Forged 460BHP Comos Blue SOLD

Re: Dan's Cosmo Blue, REV 5 T-Bar Turbo, YVS Built, Fensport Tuned *sold*

Hi Bud Another question, I've always wondered about corner weighting for road use, but always thought it would be thrown out as soon as someone sits in the passenger seat. Did you get a balance setup for someway in the middle ? J. Yeah it's a tricky one to decide on. But i went with it fully set up...

Re: Dan's Cosmo Blue, REV 5 T-Bar Turbo, YVS Built, Fensport Tuned *sold*

Seems the weather has picked up, thought i'd get some time in the tubby. Having opted for bigger rear tyres has really changed the way the car puts the power down on high boost. Since getting the car corner weighted has transformed the way the car handles, it feels so planted and in-turn gives you s...

I'd send both rears off to be honest. As the other one will probably go soon mate.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Rev2 Turbo overheating on motorways

Yeah temp gauge reaches temp very quickly, also it does fluctuate, will go from normal temp to cold when I give it boost for the first time (normally joining a motorway) then it will come back up. Yeah I mean the yellow cap is where steam comes out. I don't think it was coming out of the expansion ...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Rev2 Turbo overheating on motorways

OEM thermostat Maybe a very small amount of loss but nothing significant When it over heats, steam has been coming out the filler cap, and it did start to go up in temp once when I was giving it some for a bout 15 minutes so when it was under boost Does the temp gauge reach half way quickly? Does i...

Nice progress mate, Love the Cosmos Blue ! About to pull the trigger on finishing my engine build with YVS and Fensport mapping this spring. Be interesting to see what sort of power I end up with also. Like you I'll put it on a dyno after just to see. J. tbh i wasn't that bothered about putting the...

It's running a GT3082R. Boost starts to build quickly at 4k and then your off around 4,500. This has anti surge as well. :thumleft: I'm not sure on the CR actually, just went off what Si at YVS recommended. Even Si said he was very impressed with how this car and power have turned out. Think he has ...

Re: Dan's Cosmo Blue, REV 5 T-Bar Turbo, YVS Built, Fensport Tuned *sold*

Chucked the car on a dyno to see what she was kicking out as the car was road mapped. I knew the car was fast and i don't chase numbers at all i always go on how a car drives but i thought.....why not. So at 1.4-1.5bar she kicked out 405 bhp and 390 torque Then at 1.7-1.8 460bhp and 420 torque . Ver...

Advans back on and i've fitted 255/40/17s to the rear and the car feels so much more stable 8) Prefer the look as well. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7898/33441486268_e2ffe83e47_k.jpg PSX_20190305_160108 by Daniel Godfrey , on Flickr https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7902/47316777301_065ebac644_k.jpg ...

Re: Shane's rev 5 turbo,mapped 569 BHP, For Sale

So sorted the cooling a bit. 394 at the wheels. 1.6 bar no meth. 480bhp. The meth map that goes to 2 bar doesn't make more power but makes it a lot sooner, however once this map is perfected I should see a nice increase. that seems more like it. What power did it make on the old set up on the motec?
