Cheers Folks,

Was a bit of a late one by the time I'd got them all done, but it was worth it.

I'll re-work the overall clip to later this week to include the '2s that were chucking flames out :)

Ben.

Luke - Ah, I've done it but I didn't provide a link - I must have missed you when I was typing them in.

Here's the link (Numberplate was nearly right as read from the video)

http://www.imoc.co.uk/users/BenF/EssexRRII/l680nhk.wmv

Is that a straight through system you're running on your car? :shock:

Sweet vids. How come some of cars didnt have a fan blowing into the IC? At 100mph wouldnt it need a bit of a hand?

I'd guess they were the cars with chargecoolers, so they left the fan blowing on the pre-rad at the front.

...or they were naturally aspirated.

Noticed that the chargecooled cars 2nd runs were significantly down on power compared to there 1st runs,not enough air flow over the prerad?

Definately were making more or their 1st runs mate.When your car was run for the last time it only made 220 something at the wheels,but the run before that was 237 and the one before that was when it slipped on the rollers,so I think you're right if on the first run if it hadn't have slipped on the rollers your figure would have been a bit higher :shock:

Luke, is that the same pipe you had on when you gave me and my gf a lift into town? I think i could hear your entire journey from 3s.

Spotted that too. When I put my car on the rollers they had a front fan and two seperate ones on each side for the filter and IC, trying best as possible to simulate what happens on the road itself.

What kinda RR those guys using BTW, did it have a name on the checker plating?

R.

PS: And wheres the video of the turbos and manifolds glowing :)

:D Good for enjoying trips through the Dartford Tunnel ;)

I'm quite suprised though, it wasn't as loud as I was expecting a straight through system to be. Sounded great on the rollers :)
