No, think i will give him a ring tomorrow
Dino, Ian told me
Mind you, I gave him the potential figures for your turbo. 
But GOTTA solve this damn coolant problem out!

I'd say that's pretty bang on!
With more boost, and more setup, you could see high 400s with that, no probs.
- shame I couldn't hang around to see it get there!! Did neil get on in the end??Matt@Rogue wrote:A good result then andy
Time for a coolent change soon then!
Matt.
I am looking forward to seeing you compete later in the year. !! LOL 
... question, why was the car only being revved out to 7k? I'd of thought with your cams the peak hp would be higher than that?- they're not big and they're not clever! - although he didnt swear at it much - with bigger injectors and some more mapping its going to get even better - its got loads of potential left!,- Pete is going to have a look at mine again on Saturday, he removed loads of ignition advance last time to keep it safe - hopefully with the new Pace core we can get some of it back!...stevecordiner wrote:Ooo
@ 1.2 bar, Andys made 356 @ 1.2 bar (i think?) so it just shows the difference between the GT28 and GT30 is - Andys seemed to be making boost about 600-700rpm later than mine but it was coming in harder.(from memory...) = 61bhp for 0.5 bar (12.2bhp/0.1 bar) = 32bhp for 0.2 bar (16bhp/0.1bar) I was getting less and less returns once the boost went over 1 bar. If we assume that Andy's fuelling is fixed and the coolant and he can squeeze 2 bar through the spearco then...~ 14bhp / 0.1 bar + 0.4 bar = 56.4 bhp 408+ 56.4 = 464.4bhp at the hubs. (11% loss = 515bhp @ fly)@ fly should be Andy's goal i think - 20 mins due to the coolant bubbling over. And it was obviously very cold - at least he proved that the Spearco IC is able to flow that mass of air without being restrictive, we just need to prove that it is able to keep it cold when the ambient is high in the summer. Time will tell on that one!..jonno wrote:
Doesent look like Andy is seeing any of the problems I was with the Spearco IC core.
When I did all my measurements, I actually worked out the proper area. Now, if your core has the tubes on the side for flow, then your ACTUAL area will be significantly less. As I say, the Spearco is significantly smaller than even the ST205CC in this respect. If my thinking is right, then your actual area is quite a bit smaller than the Spearco. If not, we're back to square one with your car!

More like an absolute of 20-25bhp at the top end (30bhp MAX). So that would read 475@FW. Still bloody good, don't you think? MR2Mania wrote:jonno wrote:

Neil, when you and I have been comparing the charge face area, we haven't been taking into account the ACTUAL area, just the quick calculation including the channels that are for cooling.

I wouldn't add 11%.
- knowing how what a PITA this stuff can be its nice to see Andy get some results! The fact that I can feel a difference means that something has changed with regard to flow and once the ignition is advanced again the true results will become available. Pace seem to think I had the original development core which wasnt made properly, it was just a test - they seem to think that some of the internal connections and pipework were "rough" and that the production unit should flow 2 bar of boost with no problems - I guess I will find out on Saturday!..
"other guy" Just in time for you to sell it when the baby arrives lol Really pleased your getting some good power, it seems that some bigger injectors will yeild some more power. Also you still have the nitrous system to plug in

Hope you and Krista are well?

(any suggestions cheep) They were 650's wernt they? The mr2oc shop has 800's at a cheap price - otherwise I dont know what to suggest. I will probably order mine from Nengun.com when the engine is up and running. I also have a chap in the Us who can source injectors at a good price.Nitrous will keep the inlet temps down too
Should cost around 50 odd to make yourself if your interested.Were fine thanks, but she is very FAT lol
Not long now I guess! Then you have the joys of disturbed sleep, and nappies! lol Have you got a ETA for yours yet????
Bottom end will be built next weekend - still waiting on parts for the head itself to finish that off. ...thinking of moving in the garage Is Jo copeing with your constant engine rambleings??
Its ok I talk to myself now instead They are 720s so don't think the 800s will be man enough
He offered 850's my way for around 300, shouldnt have a problem getting any size you want. I left the offer as I am just getting the engine back together on stock ECU and injectors before I slap in bigger injectors, and the EMS......fastest Tubby in England?! I think so......need to get mine on the dyno now...... Andy F wrote:What injectors are you running at the moment? They were 650's wernt they?

Sleepless nights.
Is Jo copeing with your constant engine rambleings??
LOL
..your only running 720....Thats fooking good getting 400 at the hubs!!!! BTW 850's are man enough for 2-bar.........trust me
