9th February 2008 - Hub dyno TDI Essex + mega meet. LETS BEAT Honda OC

[BenF]

Great meet, thanks again to Tdi, definately will be going there again, setup looks amazing.

Turned up quite late but still a few cars there

My first ever IMOC meet and I'm glad that i turned up.
Very big thank you to TDI. Very friendly bunch.

Had 4 cups of coffee and 4 doughnuts

Also glad that the car ran without a hitch.
I suppose i mustn't complain with 475 bhp @ hub @ 7350 rpm @ 1.4 bar
Peak torque was 370 @ 5800

Just a shame that i couldn't up the boost on the second run.

Glad to meet all who came.

I've never seen grown men wear ear plugs before in a rolling road booth! this thing was loud!

Yeah, Scott turned up for the second run - he had a soundmeter and it measured 130dB at 1m from the tip of the exhaust.

Put it this way - 120dB is the pain threshold ... but you're never going to be that close to the exhaust when it is pulling a power run

Very impressive to see it run that though

[quote="cantfindausername"]Happy with 475 hub HP - make it sound like its small fry!

James, get that boost controller sorted and that will be one mental beast!! That turbo could house a small family of eastern europeans!



That turbo was emmece, leeroy your car was flawless.
Are you guys going to jae this year?

jamesgtr, one theory discussed was you had a 1.4bar actuator hence no matter what we did with the boost controller it wouldn't boost anymore (Scott, the warn level was played with too).

Keep us updated with the progress of the car.

OK, pictures from the day are here (Clicky) :

A few of the pics :

Cars outside TDI in the morning



James changing the plugs first thing in the morning



Intercooler and catch can in the boot


Cars on the Dyno - note the soot in the exhaust ..




Checking the Air Fuel Ratios vs torque of the engine



Biggest power figures of the day





Glowing tubular exhaust manifolds (look below the IC piping ..)





Also some other interesting cars there - a Corolla turbo, using a 4A (GZE?) engine.

Well done to everyone who showed up, it was a great day and well worth turning up.

The team at TDI were also great and the set up was amazing, a big thanks to Jon B for organising the whole thing well worth the wait.

The pics ive seen already are really good and also thanks to Ben for some great pics of my manifold glowing red.
Just need to save up some more pennys to improve on my BHP as it was a little lower than I hoped for, and sort out the ticking noise on start up its driving me mad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We had 11 cars run on the day with impressive results from James and Mike MikeJC cars, and some other very tidy cars there.

.

Hi Ben,

What did mikejc's car make?

Michael.

[jonb-]

Some great photos Ben!

[Greddy-Matt]

Looked like a really good day, can I just say.....

How clean is that workshop/dyno area!

[matt_mr2t]

Have we got a list of what people made?

I was a little shocked at mine but then he broke it to me that it was running much higher boost than both the mechanical guage and the AVCR were showing

Still, richer than Bill Gates so unlikely to melt any time soon but will have to figure a way of getting it to where I want it and it stay there

I believe Taimats was 105bhp?

Jon,

I've got photos of the dyno plots from Mike and James - I'll check them later and post up the details.

From what I remember Mike's was ~375 at the Hubs (ie 400-ish flywheel bhp) and James's car was making 477 at the hubs, ie roughly 500-520bhp at the flywheel with 360 ft/lbs of torque.

Great to see both of them run - hope Mike got back home OK with the dead alternator.

James = H Wong on my list.

Mike got home ok with the use of the second battery!

[matt_mr2t]

Wow, Mikes was high!

Thanks again for sorting the day Jon, I just made it to my brothers before they left for the party

2.2 stroker at 1.9bar, kinda needs to be that high! His torque figure was close to H's (James) which is even more impressive.

[matt_mr2t]

I have to confess I didnt realise Mikes had moved on that much!

MikeJC, the car covered in rouge decals? It must have been that spec well over a year now!

[matt_mr2t]

Because I havent really done anything to mine I haven't been paying attention to every one elses.

I remember when he and Mark were always competing and Mark had about 350bhp at the fly so Mikes seriously moved on. He didnt have any decalls last time I saw it either.

I guess you could say I've been out of the game for a while lol.

[lockys96]

is that all the power the t88 got at 1.9bar?

i got 523fwhp and 350ftlb at 1.3bar.

i have nearly same spec.

[tubby_mr2]

sorry i shot off early peeps without sayin anything i forgot i was meeting someone and was sooooooo late. Looks like the rest of the day was fun.....
