Essex Rolling Road Day II - Sunday Oct 16th

[mikewright]

hopefully i should be run in and mapped in time for this one so no showing up in the lovely family mondeo this time

Mark E you recon 0.2 bar could give you an extra 30 bhp??

Well when i last rolled the car with the club it hit 280bhp running only 8psi ... which was interesting.

Now i fitted Phoenix Power I/C and granier valve and its running 16 psi, which is about a 0.6bar increase. What could that be an increase off?

Will run 18 psi on the day though, really want to know whats been done internally so i know if i can raise boost further or not!!???[/quote]

you are always limited by the Stock ECU.
have you checked what you have ?.. maybe a standalone or a piggy back ? - pull back the carpet lining in the boot on the firewall (left and side) and see what you have.

unless you are running uprated cams (which you would probably hear / feel as lumpy idle) - i dont think a standard internal car is gonna push out the kind of figures on a Standard ECU that you are projecting (ie 280bhp @ 8psi now... + 30bhp per 0.2bar - so you are thinking an extra 90bhp @ 0.6bar extra / 16psi).

don't think that's gonna happen my friend - 370horses at the fly ? (well not on a standrd ECU it aint).

Have you checked your ignition Timing ? - that's another thing that could have been adjusted to give more oomph... at the danger of more DET i might add.

FYI - I got on the same day 306.1 @1bar at the fly... but later found out my Timing had been set to 15 - not good!

Book me in for an NA power test, at least you all KNOW you'll beat another MR2....

Reserve list would be fine, because I'll watch if you all go on.

I'll probably bring my Mk1, everyone can be assured of not coming last in the power stakes

As Frank says really.

Mine made 310bhp at 1.2bar and then 347 at 1.4bar, so i'm guessing for a good 30 increase again for another 0.2bar.

yeah bring the MK1 i brought my old MK1 down there a few years back now and made 122bhp woo!

[Matty_GTS]

Ta guys, will have to wait and see what happens.

When alarm was fitted the boot lining was out and from what i saw i pretty sure its all stock.

[dan.h]

can i add a porche to the line up, its a classic one and only 20 of them made i beleive!

its my best mates brother in law he has only had it a few months and wants to see what it is made of, would be nice to see our tubbys p1$$ all over it!

HA!

Frank,

Could you add Mark Jones (markiii) to the reserve list please? He's got a Roadster with a Hass Autoworks Turbo kit - he's not yet dyno'd the car, but others with similar maps have got 250 - 270bhp at the hubs @ Thor once the boost is turned up

It would be good to see what toruqe and power figures its making, especially compaired to my smaller PE turbo kit.

50p says my mk1 is better than yours.
123 would do nicely!

right been away from a PC for a while...

think I've updated the attendees list (page1) with everyone that has wanted their name down.

let me know if not.

[mikewright]

right looks like i'm only going to be watching again as there is a problem with the downpipe fitment holding back my chance to run in and map the engine

[KYLE]

Hi can you stick me down on the reserve list please. (just in case)
I'm keen to find out what I'm running after the tubby conversion and recent induction/exhaust upgrades.

Cheers
