A perfect day @ Perfect touch..now with dyno + pics

Hi nath

i did a guide on how to stop heat soak on mat sensor, Basically just relocate the the sensor into some of the intercooler pipe, i fitted mine into my st205 sock.

The thread for a locking nut is i think 14 x 1.5 which you will have to use to hold sensor is place on the inside on piping but make sure you thread lock on to stop nut coming loose

See here the rubber insulates the heat away unlike the alu does in inlet manifold

so could this be the reason i'm still seeing my 44deg intake temps?

check your boot temperature as well to make sure you are getting cool air through the intercooler. Failing that buy a cheap multimeter with temp reader from Maplin and get a thermocouple under the throttle sock. That way you'll know what temps you are actually getting.

very well done! thats some fantastic results there, great work =D>

Holey Moley (looks like everything else has been said)

Excelent work & figures Nathan =D> =D> =D> =D> =D>

Will deffo be interesting in what 1/4's it's capable of and hope the TOTB date next year doesn't clash with the career

Hi Nathan,

Sorry i havent got on here until now, was great to meet you and play with your car.

The day couldnt have been better for me, you said you would be happy with 400+hp... Your face was spot on when i came out first round and asked where you wanted me to stop as it had made over 400 @1.4bar :p

501.8hp was made at 1.7bar, due to the charateristics of dyno's the boost comes on later which meant the boost was on hard past the surge line, unfortunately on the road this is a different matter and any more than 1.55bar meant heavy compressor surge when teh turbo spools up.

Easily sorted though, make sure you sort that out Nath.

All markings would suggest its a HKS t04S, of the older generation.

Ryan, you were very close with your guess of power on Johns car, 395hp @ 1.6bar... not bad power at the wheels though


John's not to be confused with Nathans which made more.

Thermocouple was showing 35degrees on nathans on the road, whilst the MAT sensor was showing 62deg.

Once again, a good day and i'll look forward to seeing your car at the pod Nath (if you get a day off )

Cheers

So Surely i must have a chance of getting in the totb team next year??? What with the suspension sorted soon and maybe more power by then!

Would be cool to have the MR2 team to have a Profesional Racing driver in it too!!

Mods where are you!!!!???

Nathan, congratulations on that - you've got a superb result there =D>

TOTB - yes, would be great to have you involved next year. Your driving experience will be very handy, as the MR2s should be in with a good shout on the RWD handling course.

From what I could see viewing this year's TOTB event, the layout on the handling course was quite technical, with decreasing radius turns with the coned sections being quite narrow.

Given you've got 500BHP you should also be able to get some decent times on the quarter mile too

Nathan, very impressive indeed. Sorry I haven't yet activated you in the project cars section, Mark has been away a lot and it's been hard to catch him in, I'll try and sort it out for you asap.

Now you have the power, go out there and use it.
If you're interested a group of us (Mikejc, my TRD car and possibly a few others) are going to try and make the last Santa Pod of the year on 4th November, would be good to see the car in action!

Toni,

You can pencil me in for that too! Looks like the beast will be up and running by then.

EarL.

[tonigmr2]

Oooh this could turn into an interesting meet.


EDIT - it's the Sunday 5th November for the RWYB - but £20 for unlimited runs.

[MR2lover]

Im there

[tonigmr2]

I will add you, oh goody!

[Owen @ Kent Car Craft]

DANGIT!!
How much do i want to run at the Nov RWYB?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
I neeeed my car dynoing before that.
Anyone wanna lend me £300?
I reckon its got an 11 in it as it stands with a poo tune.

[Antstarr]

Wow m8 really impressive nice 1 =D>

After speaking 2 mikejc tho he said that one drag of a quarter mile = quarter petrol of tank at 5-600bhp region....

That is shockingly scary...

[greeny]

Nathan wat block you running 3s? Thickwalled?

Michael.

[Red_Turbo]

Very impressive mate and a good turbo choice for sure. im dreaming of a T04Z foor xmas but cant think it will come!! i will have to get myself along to November 5th to see you guys and drool at some very quick MR2's! is it a Jap only wkend?

Cheers

[Mikejc]

Great results mate you must be really pleased =D>

At what kind of rpm are you seeing 1.7 bar? Just want to get an idea of response etc

I'm completely amazed by the GT3076 that's been fitted recently, 1.9 bar of boost by 3700rpm It's actually faster spooling than the GT28 I was currently running! Although I think for the most part this is a result of the of the manifold and external wastegate

Mikejc

[TBDevelopments]

i didn't think you had that gt35 on yet you were talking about, i had a look at your car mike at the last pod and it was a gt3070series of some kind.

You had any feed back on power yet from that gt3076r? also what .ar are you running on it?

The boys at rogue definately seem to know what there doin! =D>

[TBDevelopments]

not knocking rogues knowledge but its the turbo that does the responce so praise should be to garrett really

remember my kits do the same
